Overheating questions.
I had a thread on here before about overheating but I am not sure what happened to it so ill make another.
So I have an 88 pickup 22re. It gets up to operating temp just fine, but then shortly after it gets there the temp gauge skyrockets up. I check the overflow and it is almost at the top. I just recently replaced both the waterpump and thermostat. Maybe one of them is not working properly? Also sometimes upon startup the engine makes like this whining sound, could be the waterpump? Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

How would I know if its boiling over compared to just overflowing over? Sometimes the radiator makes a boiling sound. But not recently that I have noticed.
But could too much coolant be why it flows into the overflow so quickly? The mixture is some where in the area of 60-80% coolant to 20-40% distilled water.

Overheating
It doesn't take long to fry a head gasket. Sound alot like what I went through. I wasn't ready for the rebuilt (read - LAZY) so I used this stuff instead http://www.rxauto.com/ Hell, I even have enough left for another application.
