Truck still get hot after replacing busted hose.

Asked by Jj00000rR Oct 28, 2017 at 06:48 PM about the 2001 Isuzu Rodeo LS

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Was driving when the truck began to get hot.
Pulled over and as i pulled in the place i aimed to
park the truck it shut off. I noticed that a plastic
hose/pipe busted and all the coolant drained.
Replace the hose and added coolant. I drive down
the street and after 5 minutes or so it began to get
hot. The motor is hot. Not really is the raditior cap.
But it is steaming out of the plastic reservoir to the
side of the actual raditior if that make sense. Ant
clue what this might be?

If fans do not work, make sure its working if not check relay, fuse, temp sensor, bleed all air out of cooling system. Remove and test thermostat in a pan of hot water. Check all cylinders for compression and test for exhaust in coolant, motor with aluminum head(s) can warp and blow a head gasket when ran hot. Always worth knowing this before dumping money into it.

Check your reservoir & cap for leaks and bad seal on cap as a leak there will keep the cooling system from working correctly and may need new cap and reservoir or a hose to it, unless its from a overflow hose out of the reservoir, that does not go back to radiator. Check other hose's top & bottom radiator and heater hoses and may have others for pin hole leaks as these type can shoot out a small stream and appear to be coming from another place.
