Need help PLEASE!I have a 98 Explorer and it overheats after it has been driven for about 10 minutes or so. When I get to about 50 mph it shoots straight up to "Check Gage" level. I have flushed the system and added new coolant to the radiator.
When I drained the coolant out ,the coolant had turned brown. I had put some PEAK 50/50 in about 2 months ago when it ran hot then and had been fine until the other day. When I opened up the radiator cap,there were a couple of small brownish clumps that came out when I got to the top during the refill.
Another issue is that the coolant reservoir has the same coolant left in it that i put in a couple of months ago so I don't even know if it is getting to where it needs to go or what. Any help is appreciated!
