Default Re: Running hot

Your radiator cap could be getting old

Your thermostat could be sticking shut

Your fan could be failing

Your coolant could need flushing, you could have lots of crap in the radiator

Your Water pump could be dying

Is there debris in front of your radiator?

What are the symptoms you are having? Can you smell boiling coolant? When was the last time you flushed the radiator? There are lots of reasons. Hopefully its something easy for you. What are the miles on your truck? What engine? You need to insert a sig so that we can see what you have. Check out mine for ideas
