overheating please help if u can
i have a v6 front drive and it keeps overheating when i drive it. i changed the thermostat to a fail safe, and put new 50/50 and it still overheated it doesn't take long for it to overheat the cooler fans dont come on (well one does but i have to have the ac on all the time. there are two hoses on the right and left side the go to the radiator ad thermostat , the have no pressure i would assume that it would have pressure due to water going through but there is none, some one told me the water pump was bad but im not so sure about that bc i cant tell if it is leaking, and another thing is i was told to turn the heater on but it only blows cold air i let it set for a while and it was still cold
any suggestions and help would be grateful

It sounds like you have air trapped in the system. did you open the bleeder screw when you filled it ? If not put the heat on high and ope the bleeder screw to let the air out

if it is full of water and fans come on nothing is blocking air flow to
radiator oil in the engine doesn't look like chocolate milk most likely
its the water pump.. the heater want blow hot air if it is low in water
sometimes you can get a bad thermostat from part store run it without it
and then you no its not blocking the water
