A few weeks ago I was driving and I started smelling something, and I heard water like it was under the passenger floor area, I was sitting at a stoplight and the truck started overheating. I replaced the water pump and the thermostat, because no coolant was moving through, and it was still overheating, I was told by multiple coworkers who are mechanics to just bleed the system which I did and the problem persisted. I checked the thermostat with boiling hot water and it wouldn’t open, I changed it again, and I have bled the system multiple times. I have done multiple checks on the gasket, and nothing leads to a bad or cracked head gasket. I’m running around in circles, and I don’t know what else to do.

What condition is your radiator in, top radiator hose will be hot, bottom radiator hose should be cooler if the radiator isn't clogged, check that first before going forward, Is that the original radiator?
