i agree check your theromostat just throw it in boiling water and watch to see if it opens if it does then thats good!

When was the last time you did a tune up? if it has been more then 50k i would replace the water pump regarless and go from there

right I jumped the gun .tune up I'm not sure I just rescued this one from a freak .It had a lift 31.5 superswampers the air worked and it ran like a Swiss watch
just needed a front drive shaft .I tried to get it then and was talking with an employee about it who went in and bought it out from under me . who then drove it into the ground and started parting it out.
