Ford Bronco Keeps Overheating Q. I have a 1994 Ford Bronco, full size. Its got a 302 in it, manual transmission and 165,000 miles on it. I have changed the water pump, radiator, fan clutch, thermostat, and given it a complete tune up. It still overheats when climbing hills, or whenever I get up to 60 mph or higher. I'm running out of things to replace. It doesn't leak water, the oil is clean, no smoke, and I also replaced the coolant temperature sensor. Any ideas would be oh so helpful. Jessica

A. I would try bleeding the cooling system first. Here's how to do it.

1. Disconnect heater outlet hose at water pump to bleed air from the system.
2. When coolant begins to flow, reconnect heater hose.
3. Start engine and allow to warm up.
4. Shut engine off and allow system to cool.
5. Remove radiator cap and fill with coolant as needed.

If, after bleeding the air out of the cooling system, it still overheats, I would check for a possible bad head gasket.
