You never open the coolant system unless it is bone *** cold!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have truck issues, stop driving it and send me your number so we can talk before you toast the engine.

 

I was having the same problem and it turned out to be my thermostat. Dont buy a generic one, i made that mistake the first time, make sure it is a genuine LR part

 

Thank you so much for all your help. I figured out the problem myself-feel pretty dumb. It turned out to be a loose clamp on one of the two hoses that attach to the front of the manifold.

 

I have a truck is overheating I had to change the thermostat and water pump and it's still overheating but when I add water it takes very little water my heater doesn't work it's possible that I switched the hoses the wrong way when I put them on the thermostat as it didn't give me directions to tell me which one went to which one

 

Hi Hixx, this is a 13 year old thread. On this board you are better off starting a new thread of your own than using one so old.

It sounds like maybe you didn't properly fill/purge things. It takes a particular procedure to do that. Do you have the Rave manual? It is an essential tool.
