Park nose up on a hill and run w/ radiator cap off for a bit. Or just do like I do fill tank and and drive 90 mph+ for 100 miles.

If you severely overheated the engine, you may have warped the head and blown the head gasket.

You also need to replace the radiator to avoid destroying the engine, if that has not already happened.

When its dead cold in the morning open the radiator cap and keep it filled to the top. and keep the reserve tank filled.

Keep an eye on it for a while longer. Also, make sure to turn the heat on full blast to clear any air from those hoses and heater core.
