Engine Cooling problem
1986 Ford F150 V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

I have aquired a 1986 Ford F150 pickup . It has a new radiator and fuel pump and it is running hot. It starts right up with no problem but over heats after about 2 miles of driving it.

Replace the thermostat and make sure it is full of fluid too.
