I've been trying to figure out my cooling problem for some time. After numerous thermostats, water pumps, wiring the electric fan up full time, radiator flush after flush, expansion bottle, even playing around with a filler neck and radiator cap on a closed system, I think I finally found the problem, my radiator was FILLED WITH GRIME. I shined a flashlight through the fins and there was only one small spot where I could see light shining through. It was just filled with grass, oil, dirt, mud, etc. Its no wonder it was overheating. Heck my tranny will probably even run better as the side it circulates on was especially bad. If you've got an overheating problem that you can't figure out, try pressure washing the radiator.
