What probably is happening, happened to me. I had my radiator replaced and the mechanic added coolant. But, he added orange coolant instead of the green coolant. I noticed that my Jeep was running warmer even with a new radiator. It would almost instantly jump up to operating temperature and in hot days it would start to overheat. So, I checked my overflow bottle, and I noticed that there was gel in it and a sandy sludge at the bottom. My mechanic insisted that it doesn't matter, but mixing different chemical formulas does matter. It is all over these Jeep forums. So, I had him flush all the coolant out of my system, and I brought new green coolant. This mixing of coolant can ruin your cooling system. Pressure builds because of the gelling factor and it can blow radiators, pumps, and heater core. The gel also doesn't allow the coolant to cool properly. Mechanics will just add any coolant that they have available. But coolant matters.

Check your overflow bottle. If you see different layers in it or a gelling of the coolant, then this is your issue. It should be a homogeneous free flowing liquid. If it is gelling, you will notice it most when the system is cold.

Math and physics... bro.
Go do them.
Yeah, I may have dozed off in a physics or thermodynamics class in engineering school and missed those equations. That was back in the dark ages when we had to do longhand calculus equations on paper, you know, prior to the invention of the computer.

You dont do them in your head? Bummer. Its kinda like needing to long hand an apex before every road you go down. Do you still long hand the apex equation? The road you drive everyday while you drive up to it? My mother does something similar with a news paper

He can’t. It’s in his head. You need to do the equations in your head too. Only way to be sure…..
