2004 Grand Prix overheating. Help!

Check your water pump is working, remove radiator cap and see if any coolant is being drawn down. Or run the heater core on max and see if you are getting heat in the car. Running the engine and letting it continually overheat can really ruin it. So I'd get the cooling system completely checked out. Flush it & make sure you have no blockages, replace thermostat & radiator cap, check the water pump, hoses, coolant temp sensor, also check for presence of hydrocarbons with a test kit, that will let you know if you have a possible bad head gasket.

Water pump for sure those cars are the one thing that's goes bad alot

A rad hose has no effect on coolant temperature. Is your rad full, first of all? If so I'd get it flushed and pressure tested. I don't think its possible for a water pump to stop pumping, it may make noise, or leak, but it always pumps.

If the upper hose the only one getting warm, then there is clearly a blockage or coolant is not circulating. Hopefully it's something simple like thermostat not opening. And yes, a water pump can stop pumping. I've removed them and seen the fins on the impeller nearly gone, from corrosion and wear.

i would say check the radiator then the water pump because i've also had the same issue for the past year and month and its not getting any better i hope this is helpful and i wish you all the best luck

cause ive replaced the thermostat but the problem is getting worse but check the hoses and the resivore where the coolent sits but i have also known if you put ice to cold water in the coolent resivore it would cool the engine down to normal opratating temp

if you guys have any ideas for me that would be great
