Have you replaced the radiator cap or had it tested for holding the proper
pressure?
Does your lower radiator hose have a coiled wire inside it? None of the
aftermarket ones I've looked at have this. OEM and factory replacements
do. Without it the hose may collapse at times thereby blocking the flow of
water.
