Overheating Explorer I have a 2000 Explorer with a 4.0, sohc. I bought this recently as a bank repo. It sat for the last 2 years, so you can imagine it's been non-stop shocks, brakes, calipers etc... The problem that just started tonight is it's overheating. Is there anything that is more common on these things then other things? I don't even know where to start, waterpump, thermostat etc... I guess when it cools down, rad cap off and let it run to see if it circulates may be a good idea. I haven't had many Fords, never been a huge fan but I really like my Explorer. Any advice would be hugely appreciated
***EDIT***
After it cooled down enough to take the rad cap off, I took it off and started it up. After a minute or so, the antifreeze started shooting out of the rad, not a good sign I don't think
