I just had the 00m12 repairs done on wednesday and the truck has been runnning perfect until last night.I was on the expressway and the check gage's light came on and the tempature was on the H , turned the heat on it came down to halfway then back up to about 3/4 to hot but not on the H .I checked the coolant and it was fine also it started runnning a little funny like it had a miss after it shifted, I don't know if that was because it was hot or something was wrong with the motor . This morning it ran fine but I didn't drive it long enough to get it warm .Does anyone know what could be wrong ? could the shop of screwed something up?I'm hungover and in a bad mood because of this. any input is appreciated .I have a 4.0 sohv with 42,000 on it.

First thing you should do is check the coolant level. If that's fine, it's time to change the thermostat.

Do NOT continue to drive it if it's overheating.

I also agree to check your thermostat

if that doesn't fix it check the water pump
 






I changed the thermostat(what a pain) and it's fine now. the gage is right in the middle like it was before the problem and runs fine. I boiled the old one and it's stuck doesn't move at all.what goes bad in them anyway ?thanks guys:)

I'm not sure about yours, but on my bad stat, I was told the spring was weak, when cold, it was fully closed, when hot, fully open, no in between.

My temp gage reflected that as well, when cold, the gage would read in the cold range, and then go halfway up the temp zone, and then drop like a rock back into the cold range which equaled luke warm to no heat.

A new Stat cured all of that.
