RE: runs hot after driving hard

Well this is the same exact thing it did before we took it to the shop and what he did fixed it for a little while, then it started doing the same thing as before.

what does the Fluid look like milky or anything?? could be head gasket. i had that problem on my old motor, would only over heat when i hammerd it, be hey just my 2 cents, could be some simple as a thermostate not working right!

RE: runs hot after driving hard

yea well i drove it today and after the first 5 miles it ran hot. I took the radiator cap off and it lost some water. I kept putting water in it until it was full, then it would suck some water, then i added more until it stopped taking water. After doing this i could drive it forever without it running hot. ??? Do yall think its the thermostat sticking? ???
