why is my 2005 f150 running hot

Asked by jkovaski Oct 05, 2016 at 03:54 PM about the 2005 Ford F-150 FX4 SuperCab 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have replaced the thermostat, fan clutch, and water pump and it still is running hot. A guy at AutoZone did a test that says I have and exhaust leak. Does this mean I have a blown head gasket?

Did autozone check for codes being thrown. No idiot light does not mean there is not a code being thrown. Is there a temp sending unit attached to the area of the thermostat.
