Asked by GuruTKB7G Jul 09, 2018 at 03:15 PM about the 2005 Ford Explorer Sport Trac XLT 4WD Crew Cab
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
My 05 Sport Trac is overheating. It's
heating up while the truck is driving
and cooling off at stop lights, I have
never seen this before. It does have
a new radiator in it less than a year
old the water is clear and plenty of
it. I really just don't know where to
go from here any help would be
appreciated.

Maybe air in system. Bleed air like this. Remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle once vehicle starts to reach operating temp thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back. Also you will notice the level in tank will start to rise this is normal and will drop once thermostat starts to open.
Thanks for the answer, you mentioned thermostat. I think I have a stuck closed thermostat tested it by checking if hot air coming out of the vent with the heater on and I did not.
