If the heater blows cold and its overheating and you made mention of rust color out the radiator, it could be the water pump or just as simple as a clogged hose. Before you spend money on a new pump, just take all the hoses off and see if one is clogged. Its worth a shot and might save you money. Mine overheated when I first got it. But i took the rad to a shop and they said it was something like 75-80% clogged up. Acid flush and it was good to go. I do recall the rust color and the horrible smell. Yuk, lol
