Overheating problem

[Frankie]

I have a 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 dat keeps over heating I change the  Thermostat n refill it but still over heating water pump not leaking fans work  Radiator clean could it be air pocket n how do I find out if it is.. n it can't be blown head gasket all gasket are two month old any other ideas thanks in advance

Frankie, it's probably a blown head gasket.  To get air pockets out, park it nose up somewhere and let the cap off.  To check for a blown head gasket, also check the recovery tank better yet, pull and inspect the plugs and do a compression test.

It over heated cuz  The radiator was frozen when we had cold front  The radiator was a block of ice  I didn't know until I was down the road

NO antifreeze?

WOW!!!!

 

[Frankie]

I had  antifreeze I guess it was wasn't just strong enough

Well, it could've cracked your block, heads, who knows what.  Compression test the motor and pressure test the radiator.
