    Hi Black Sunshine
    Welcome to the page.Where in Canada are you?
    Why did you change the t-states?And what make did you get?
    Did you get all the air out after you changed the t-states?
    And is the top rad hose getting hard when it runs?Any bubbling int the overflow reservoir?
    Once you answer those questions,somebody else may have some more.But someone will have a few things to check once there is more info.
