my 95 pathfinder is overheating. i had a hose blow from the coolent. replaced it but now it is overheating. no leaking from the hose i replaced. the fan is working. just wondered if anyone
knew why it is stil overheating.

 

Theremay be anair pocket in the cooling systemthat is preventing the coolant from flowing. Some cooling sytems have to be "burped" after they are opened.

 

It also may have to replace the thermostat also. Maybe its not opening and boiling the water in the radiator or near the thermostat which cause your hose to blow. This is only an assumption but a good educated guess.

 

Is there enough coolant/antifreeze in the radiator? Don't just look inside the plastic overflow bottle, but remove the radiator cap (when the engine is cold) and look inside the radiator. You should be able to physically see the fluid level if it is at its proper level. Most cars and trucks will hold 1 1/2-2 gallons of coolant and water mixture. If you have to add more than a pint of fluid you should have the cooling system pressure tested for a leak. If you see any obvious fluid loss on the ground or in the engine compartment, you should also have the system tested for leaks.
