Re: Over Heating??

bleed the cooling system ANYTIME you open the cooling system
its a closed system, if air gets in thur it will make you overheat

bleeder on the 3.8 is on the drivers side of the TB
the 3.4 is on the passenger side of the TB

could it be the thermostat cause it also heats up the most when its just idleing?

Re: Over Heating??

you are always going to heat up more while idling because air isn't moving through the engine bay. First try bleeding the air out of the system and see if there is any. Are you losing coolant or did you just loose the extra and now it is sitting level?
