im assuming headgasket here
so the deal i picked up and found out it was a locked up alternator keeping it from starting turned out i was driving and it started overheating about 3/4 the way on the interstate.
pulled over and the upper hose had a tumor in it! i bled the system and added coolant... ton of air i mean ton! was fine for a while, then it happend about 40minutes later on the interstate again...
coolant doesnt have milky *** in it but air is getting in there real bad! so you think headgasket?? it was replaced 15k ago by a shop according to paperwork that came with the car mayb they suck dick...
haha

check the thermostat... could be rusted and not opening all the way if it isnt rusted shut already, if the lower radiator hose is cold and the upper is bulging thats your problem.
if the T-stat is fine, then you most likely have a leak in the headgasket.

Yeah..
Sounds like headgasket to me, but I'd change out the t-stat to be sure that's not it.
I've run on bad headgaskets for a while, and the heat does help, but it'll warp the ---- out of the head if you do it too long.
The place that replaced the headgasket probably didnt get the head milled for straightness, or it was super overheated before, and the head is cracked and/or the block is warped.
