Question
i have a 01 chrysler sebring lxi 5 speed stick trans with a 3.0 v6 and it is overheating and i check the thermostat and it was bad i changed it and it is still overheating and i cant find out what it is

Answer
Hi Caleb,
Is the radiator fan coming 'on' as the gauge reaches H? How quickly does it go there? Is there any sign of excessive white smoke when starting the engine after a total cooldown (say overnight). Does it boil over and if so from where? Might the radiator fins be clogged with leaves/dirt (use a light behind it to inspect for that possibility. What other history can you give me about this, if any? There are some other outside possibilities like dragging brakes or malfunctioning engine, so let me know of any other clues.
