is over heating after 10 miles. replaced thermostat and pump looks new. lines are still hard so they aren't collapsing. drain and bleed the coolant.

Welcome to the forum!
Are you relying on dash gauge alone; what's it reading; or is it obviously overheating? Thermostat changed after you found the problem?

Temp should be running at 190-220 F. Might need to flush out the radiator and block at that mileage.
