It sounds to me like your coolant level is most likely low. Or less likely your fan clutch failed.

Low coolant could be caused by many different issues.

Radiator could be clogged. Should be able to drain till you can see the tops of the channels in the cap.

In the future if your rig runs hot and you need to limp home. Turn the AC off, turn both the front and rear heat on high, roll the windows down if needed, put the tranny in D, turn overdrive off. The idea is to maximize cooling capacity and to reduce heating capacity to help the rig get you home.

And don’t try to overheat your rig. That’s not a good testing method.
Thanks for your insite. It was fairly low somehow on coolant. The radiator cap was not in working order. Filled it up, took some air out, put the new cap and hasnt overheated since. Wish me luck that it stays like that.
