My Truck
 
Alright it's not my stang but here we go my work truck has 275,000 miles on it the damn thing started overheating found out the heater core was crap. We bypassed the heater core and the damn thing one week later is now overheating again what can I do now? I dont get my other truck for awhile and I dont wanna be driving the stang for work reasons.

I seriously doubt the entire system was purged through the heater core. A good flush...at the Rad AND the block is in order. Coolant goes bad when it is exposed to overheat condition temps.

Check the radiator as well since w/ that many miles, who knows how clogged it is.
