14 Temp Spike
To add to the possible source of my leak, I do have rear air and the fact that the coolant is collecting at the back of the engine/near the transmission makes me think these hoses might be the source.- Joe Public

14 Temp Spike
Alright, update! Today I replaced the thermostat (OEM), the water pump (OEM), the serpentine belt (I can’t remember the brand), and the radiator cap (Stant). In refilling the radiator, I burped the system, as well. One or all of these, minus the belt, seems to have fixed the overheating/temp...- Joe Public

I saw that exact video not too long ago; that idea crossed my mind. I’ll certainly try whatever I can to not spend money. Good question - in fact, I have not. I just assumed the jet engine noise meant both were functioning. I’ll check on that, as well.- Joe Public

Thank you! I’ll read that soon. I wonder if replacing the water pump is something I can do in my own driveway. Please excuse my explanation or description, I was using that nub as a reference point for the particular “gasket.” It looks like the steam or vapor was coming from that location...- Joe Public

Thank you for your explanation! That makes a lot of sense. Your response has been noted! Update: After replacing the thermostat (Advanced Auto “premium” brand; no Ford OEM in stock - was looking for a quick fix) and driving the truck around the block, I was sitting in it typing this response...- Joe Public

It was 3AM when I checked using the light on my phone, but I’d say it was low enough to not see it through the side of the reservoir. I could only see the fluid in it when I opened the top. I’m certainly hoping a new thermostat will help if the problem persists now. No new update as of now...- Joe Public

The coolant level was low. I filled it up to the line; we’ll see what happens if the wife drives it today. Thanks again for everyone’s replies!- Joe Public

Thanks for the response! I’ll look into that once I can check coolant levels. Let me say this: perhaps there’s no correlation between the engine temp spiking and the AC getting colder - this all happened today after a cold start on a hot day; the AC could’ve just gotten down to normal when I...- Joe Public

I have no earthly idea how to search for this particular issue, so please forgive me if this has been talked about before. I just recently bought a 2014 Expy EL 5.4l with approximately 90k miles on it. It’s in relatively good condition all things considered. Issue: Yesterday I was sitting in a...- Joe Public
