'99 V8 AWD Mounty. Temp went way up. I turned the car off before it overheated. Steam from the passenger side of the radiator by the air filter box. No heat in the car. Overflow reservoir is full. The drivers side cap is barely hot. Engine temp cools down in about 10 mins. I can go 3 or so miles before temp gets too hot. The water/antifreeze doesn't seem to be flowing at all. Limped home and there she sits.
Thermostat was replaced less than 2K miles ago.
How can I tell if this is a water pump issue, or a blocked radiator issue? Could it be a bad thermostat? Bad heater core?? Where do I start?
