My car overheats

Ok, I'll try to explain this as good as I can since English is my second language..

Every time I drive going up hill my car overheats! I don't know what is the problem...The temperature goes up more than normal, it almost hit top line on the temperature gauge... it only happens when I drive going up hill..... I changed the thermostat and it keeps doing it. what else could it be?

Thanks!

Joser

Are you losing any coolant from your radiator? If so, I wonder if you have a problem with your water pump.

Sorry, I'm not a mechanical wizard and I don't know what to suggest. Have you ever flushed your radiator? If not, you should get a pH test on your coolant. Maybe it needs to be replaced.
