99 dodge ram 1500 5.9 liter Neverending overheating problem please help
Here's what happenedNoticable coolant leak progressed into serious coolant leakIdentified as water pump
replaced water pump, thermostat, temp sensor, timing chain, serpentine belt etc.
Replaced oil and coolant and started without radiator cap to bleed system but overheated with the top hose cold and air in cab coldTried multiple times to bleed with no luckReplaced thermostat no luckWater pump too, no luckFinally I flushed the heater core and drilled bleed holes in the thermostat and then the top hose got warm but not hot still overheated. I'm exhausted and just about out of ideas. During replacing stuff i put coolant In different spots to see if it would flow out of another place like it should and it didn't seem clogged. The old coolant wasn't very dirty looking slightly opaque but still very green. Also my fan clutch is working.
if anyone has any suggestions please help me out
