So car started overheating a few months back. Got it towed back to the house after starting it up a few times and driving < 5 min just to make sure it wasn't some weird fluke. Changed out the thermostat and refilled the system. It ran great for 2 months.
Was driving around town and it started overheating again with the same problems, coolant bubbling out of the overflow tank. Got it towed to the house again, this time I had little slices of what looked like black rubber in the coolant. I didn't want to think it was the head gasket since the car only has 90k miles on it. This time I changed bottom and top hoses, radiator, and I got a new gasket for my thermostat (thermostat I ordered was leaking for some reason with bottom pipe on). Ive been driving it around my block as there are a lot of hills by me, when it warms up it overheats the minute I try to go uphill.
Fans are running, bottom pipe is cold, is my thermostat bad again?? I have a heater core I ordered but before I do all that work I want to make sure it's not something dumb. I think I have all the air out?? I've ran it pulles the cap a while its hot and could hear air escaping but not 100% sure.
I have a heater core i ordered but I'm trying not to do all that work if its something stupid. The bottom pipe is staying cold when
