ive been playin around with mine, new 3 row , thermostat 180,
new hoses new radiator cap 13lb...no change...
finally got one of the overflow tanks that feed from the bottom, filled radiator to the top, put some water in the tank, runs cooler now, no more overflow spills
the tank did more to help than anything else ive tryed, it'll push water into the tank then suck it back out as it cools.
with the tank you can run the radiator full to the top, mine used to run couple inches below top, so ive added about a quart and a half or more fluid than before...keep watchin the overflow tank , you may need to keep adding to the fluid in it, till it finds its own level, dont open the radiator cap , just keep adding to the overflow tank.
if all else is ok with the car this will help,and its cheap to try, unless you want one of the fancy stainless tanks, that happen to be pretty trick looking like mine.
