truck keeps over heating. has a new water pump, thermostat and radiator cap. wont even let me bleed the air out of the system. im convinced its the head gaskets. i dont have the money to do them. is there any way i can prolong doing them for a few months? a friend suggested taking out the thermostat so it will run cooler and not over heat as fast.

have a pro pressure check coolant system for an internal leak like a head gasket, 4.3l used to leak outside in rear. also check radiator for cold spots if any cold spots rad is shot
