waterpump question

I have a 1993 ranger with a 4.0 v6 and it has overheating problems....we have has 3 different kinds of thermostats in it....it has all new hoses, newer head...some days it will run just fine and other days it will overheat....we have replaced just about everything...could it be the water pump?

thanks

Re: waterpump question

you could have air in the system or even a bad radiator cap.

Re: Re: waterpump question

oddly, it does mostly tend to get hot on the expressway, but not always. any reason you can figure this could happen? i would think more air at 70mph the better....i would have never thought of that. nor did my (ex) mechanic
thanks
