I had the same problem on my 2000 4.0. I took it to my mechanic who could not get it to over heat with him. It took a week to happen again, but I caught it. I was losing pressure/coolant from the expantion tank. The seam where the black cap meets the white tank had a leak. $69.95 for new tank from AB and fixed it myself :)
