When you replaced the thermostat did you bleed the cooling system? Does the fan turn on? Did you fill the cooling system with enough coolant?
More info needed.

Bleed the system, should fix your problem.

and by the way, it did have enough coolant...i think...i had to run a wire to the positive on the battery to turn the fan...and it worked fine...but why isnt the fan turning on?

You said the fan was working ok...but by bypassing the fan temp sensor it should turn on if the fan is good. I would bleed the system and see if the fan turns on, if it doesn't you may have to replace your fan temp sensor. Read this thread for great info:
