Arrow Updates ....

Alright, the stock fan took a crap so it was replaced with another electric fan ... but cooling problems haven't ended.

The system has been "burped" - the 180 deg. thermostat is opening (or least it did when I swapped it in this weekend) - but it's still running hot ... today the radiator was blowing out fluid and filled up the overflow ... like all of the coolant was pulled out of the engine but wasn't flowing back in. After letting it cool down it's low on fluid. Could the pump be the problem? It wasn't removed during the head swap.

another thing is that the upper radiator hose gets blistering hot while the lower remains cool enought to touch, also replaced the upper hose due to excessive swelling ... could this be because water isn't getting back into the engine once it's pumped out?

suggestions?
