Sup Ford family!!! Today I went to get lunch on break and the drive thru at KFC was a little backed up so I had to sit in the drive thru line longer than normal. About 10mins later I noticed the temp gauge go from where it normally is (which a little under half) to 3/4 almost on the H!!! The funny thing is that when I drove off it went right back down to normal! I didn't have time to check under the hood, but I didn't smell any radiator fluid, see any water spots under the truck, or hear in boiling/sizzling sounds!!! Does anyone have any clue as to what the heck is going on!!!!!!! Thanks in advance!

 

might have been that sensor just got hot the way you were parked and the heat radiating off the ground and walls and other cars also im sure you had the ac on ...check your fluid levels

 

Yeah blackbeast, I did have the a/c on. It was hot as hell!!!! But why would my fluids be low, or should I say what will make my fluid level low if there is no leaks? Oh and thanks for the response!

 

well sometimes there is a very very small leak in the radiator fins so thats one way also have you ever flushed your radiator and heater core i did the other day the first time in 9 or so years so thats a maybe lookinto that and then again could have been a faulty guage lots of things it could be just keep an eye on it and if it happens alot then pay some more attention to it

 

You know I have been wanting to flush out the radiator because the last time I did my oil change about 2 months ago I add water to it and alot of brown water came up so I was gonna flush it. Just haven't had the time!
