no pressure

I just did a coolant flush on a 1994 Explorer. I filled the radiator and ran it to let the thermostat open so i could add the rest. The temp guage never read above the C and the radiator never biult up any pressure. What is wrong and why isn't it building up pressure. We tried to get it hot by running it 110mph on the e-way at 1:30 this morning but it isn't working HELP

If your coolant was very brown or rusty the thermostat may be stuck open, or even has come apart. I would start by replacing it.
