overheating!
hey guys i need to get my truck figured out asap!
Ok first of all its a 01 3.0 supercab auto. Ok it only happens probably once every two weeks and with no warning.
I will be driving around at operating temp and then my heat will blow cold and the coolant temp will drop! Shortly after it will skyrocket up to overheating and blow the lid off the resevior and make a mess. About 30 seconds later the temp will come back down to normal and be fine.
WTF!?!!?
i just changed the thermostat, and that didnt help.
i need ideas! thanks!
