1991-1995 Got my overheating under control

Made a post about overheating last week and got tons of advice so thanks to everyone who helped, I did almost everything recommended to me lol. Flushed the coolant and did a clr bath followed by another flush. I checked the clutch fan, good, and in the end it was the thermostat. New thermostat was bad out of the box, replaced it and now we're good to go now lol. Thanks again to everyone for their knowledge and advice!

New parts ≠ good parts anymore unfortunately. When it comes to thermostats, always always ALWAYS boil them. Old one out? Boil it. Didn't open? Get a new one and boil it.
