So as i am getting onto the highway, i punch it a bit and get the rpm up pretty high. After about 4 miles i pull off the exit and smokes coming from the hood. I notice that it is overheating and spilling fluid from the radiator. I pull it into parking lot and it's really hot. Left it there for about 6 hours, it's cooled down, add fluid, take it home and it over heats again. Can't drive it more than 5 miles now without it overheating. The hoses get so hot i can hardle touch them.I'm hoping it's not a blown gasket, i'm gonna replace the thermostat tommorrow, what else should i be checking for? Fan comes on fine and i just put a mr gasket in last year and had no problems at all.Any help would be appreciated.Thanks, Ken</blockquote>
