okay it's a 93 isuzu rodeo and we've put an electric fan on it and replaced the thermostat and changed a couple of hoses that were leaking and it's still overheating what else could be the problem??
What would be the reason why a car is overheating?
this may b due 2 d radiator problem............ check whether any leakage is there in d radiator......... or else any other fault in it...... try this........

Your best bet is take it to the mechanic to be honest! It definately something to do with the radiator. It obviously not being cooled enough before it over heats. You should check for fluid leaking from the radiator. You mite jus have to get a new radiator and if its a 93 depending on the condition of it you might as well just get a newer one. Hope it works out for you.
if you have anti freeze/coolant in your radiator, while the car is running put your hand under the tailpipe (exhaust) (dont touch the pipe, it will burn you ) just for a few seconds,
if your hand smells sweet like the smell of antifreeze/coolant , its a good chance your head gasket is a gonner. another telltale sign is if you got steam coming out of your tailpipe all the time. also if you should happen to flush your radiator out and get oil mixed in with the coolant or water, that is a good indicator that your head gasket took a dump.
The cooling system is meant to be a sealed system under pressure. Each pound of pressure raises the boilling point by something like 5 degrees so if their are any leeks in the system that allow the pressure to escape that will lower the temp at which your car will over heat. Try replacing the rad cap. To test head gasket most garages have a kit they use to test for exhaust gases in the coolant but sometimes if it is bad enough you can tell by simply looking at the coolant in the radiator while the car is running. If it looks foamy after the t stat has opened chances are bad gasket. Other possibilities are poor coolant flow or air trapped in the system.
Yeah its something to with the radiator has to be,might need a new one,make sure there oil and water in it aswell,not good when a when it doing dont drive it get it checked out asap.
Sounds like a head gasket blown....you may want to have a block test done.
your radiator could be plugged but if i was you i would go to a part store or a junk yard and get a new radiator and then strip the copper out of the old one scrap it and make half or all your money back
Sounds like a Blown Head Gasket; With the System Cool Remove the Radiator cap, Start the Engine and after a short while you will Smell Exhaust in the Radiator, Sometimes Water in the Oil or Steam from the Tail Pip. Are you running Water or Coolant? Coolant=50-50 Mixture of Clean Water %26amp; Anti-Freeze %26quot;Used All Year Round!%26quot; Also sounds like you need a New Radiator cap %26amp; Cooling System Boiled/Flushed Out.
could be head gasket
