Overheating issues

[Amnry2017]

I just bought my torrent. Guy I got from said overheating issue so I'm thinking no big deal. Replace the fan, radiator, thermostat, waterpump, hoses, resveroir and so on. Nothing helped. finally discover head gaskets are blown. Replace those with valve cover gaskets all the grommets and all. Finally go to crank my car and white smoke from under the hood. went to see about burping the lines and find out they have the wrong bleeder screw there. Went to flush the coolent system and no antifreeze came out. what could I be missing here??? Currently in the process of an oil change

I'm not sure if I missed a step in what you did, when you replaced all those parts and then you replaced the head gaskets I assume you filled the cooling system with antifreeze and water? Assuming that is correct, are you stating the coolant mixture disappeared? If so check what comes out of the oil pan, oil or a mix of oil and coolant. Did you have the heads checked for cracks when you had them off?

It was just refilled with antifreeze after all was said and done. Checked for cracked heads and warped cylinders. Everything was good there. And no. The antifreeze didnt disappear. What's more is it isnt cycling through at all

If it's not cycling the thermostat is not opening, I cant imagine the pump isn't working. Pull the thermostat and drop it in a pot of almost boiling water and gradually raise the temperature to see if it opens.

We have replaced everything just short of the heater core. Pulled the thermostat out and ran it without it and it works and the heat works. Went and got a new one today and put it in and still overheating. I'm really stuck atm

Did you drive it without the thermostat and did it overheat?
You are installing the thermostat with the coil towards the block?

 

[Amnry2017]

I did not drive it without the thermostat. Just let it run for like 15 mins and it didnt overheat. We just changed the coolant temperature sensor and now it doesnt overheat BUT... I had 2 codes prior to this. (P0507) & (P0455). Now I have A BUNCH.
P0122(2)
P0507(2)
P0455(2)
P0118(2)
P2101
P1516
P0223
P0113
P0102

Sounds like something wasnt correctly plugged back together, try the site below for the codes

Ok I will check that out. My next question is about the stabilitrak light is on and service traction control. Not really sure what that is about

 

[melsg5]

That is usually caused by a wheel sensor or the wire harness it is connected to. Either need a ABS scan tool or you have to check each sensor with an ohm meter.
