On top of the water pump the thermoset housing theres a brass screw to release halfway and turn on heater n let it run about 20 minutes n you'll see antifreeze comin out and give it gas till you see the meter going down and wait for it that will go down and then tightening back in and i promise you it wont be overheating again
