[Top Tier Mafia]

Hi guys new to the site trying to learn what I have in my baby, so far I know I need to replace the front axles, c-v boot is torn but my biggest worry right now is the it over heats after short runs, my radiator will be cool but my coolant is boiling.. I want to replace the thermostat but idk if that will fix the problem?? Any help and suggestions is much appreciated thank you!

I'd feel the upper/bottom coolant hoses to see if there's a temp change in one of em to see if it's circulating in the cooling system. If you do change the thermastat make sure it's a 2 stage stat. I bought a 1 stage stat at oriely's last year & it wasn't putting out heat. 2 stage stat. There's a right up on the forum
