If your car is overheating with fully functioning OEM fans...aftermarket isn't going to stop it.

when are you experiencing overheating such as conditions? have you checked the coolant temp sensor? i assume by everything you mean you have changed the thermostat, radiator cap, flush and refill and checked the radiator itself?

check the following. coolant level, radiator cap, thermostat( by seeing if the upper radiator hose gets hot when the fan turns on....this indicate the thermostat is opening at about 180 degrees farenheit). Check the fans. If everything works out try bleeding the system to remove any possible air pockets

Take the car to a car wash and wash down the radiator and ac condenser. The helped a bit on my old truck. You be suprise how much dirt and other crap are on the radiator fins. If you have a steam cleaner that would work even better.

Wow how about also take that ugly a$$ pic out of you're signature. It could be a number of things, but maybe letting us know what you have already done would help out a bit.
