2001 chevy Malibu V6 with 188k, my granddaughters car over the last few months we have replaced the head gaskets, had the heads done at the machine shop, new thermostat, water pump, fans, radiator flushed but the darn thing still runs hot. HELP

The blown head gasket was merely the result of previous severe overheating. Now you have to find out what originally caused the overheating. Flushing a radiator doesn't do much of anything. You likely need a new radiator.
