Check your coolant level to see if it's down because there could have been air left in the system

My 2014 Jeep Patriot kept over heating and that's after I got a new radiator and all the fluids were all checked it was because my heater core was going out so I just bypass the heater core and now my Jeep doesn't overheat at all anymore now that it's winter I have no heater however I went and bought my buddy Mr heater with the propane and all so I carry that around now however check the heater core how you do that I don't know however I did have my both of my thermostats replaced too there's a little one and there's a bigger one and it didn't seem to stop overheating but it ended up being the heater core like I said
