    Any wrenches here? Close to Parker? Maybe trade for deprimed and wet polished brass?
    Captain Obvious here, but you have checked the coolant level haven't you? Sounds a lot like low coolant symptoms.

    Yeah, I?d definitely start there for sure. Funny how cooling systems act when they don?t have coolant in them.

    He?ll probably find out the intake manifold gaskets are junk and sucked all of the coolant into the engine. He?ll be sad that it wasn?t as simple as a thermostat.

    Good luck and let us know what you find out.
