Do not drive the car/truck if it the temperature gets too high, pull over immediately and allow the engine to cool. Driving with the engine overheated can do SERIOUS damage to the engine, including having a head gasket blow, causing excessive wear of rings, etc.
The most common reason for having the engine overheat are:
1. Thermostat. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position (which can happen), it will cause the engine to overheat.
2. Cooling fans not turning on because of a bad fan relay or bad fan motor.
3. Lack of enough coolant in the system.
4. Clogged Radiator
5. Bad Water Pump.

i think of you have a battery drain... some thing is utilising power while the vehicle is off probable, on account which you have all that digital crap in it, some thing might have been put in incorrect and is utilising juice while the vehicle is off, on account which you have a sparkling battery . The battery might have been defective once you acquire it, too... the quantity of the song shouldn't remember. you have too many electronics in the vehicle for the battery length, too. you need to flow to Sears vehicle or some thing like that and get them to earnings your battery. Ask them if the battery is gigantic sufficient for each and all of the electronics you have and for the vehicle itself... Get them to earnings the battery to confirm even though if it is defective or no longer. If the battery is defective and you have the receipt you need to have the capacity to get a sparkling one. If the battery isn't defective you may want a much better one or, you need to have a mechanic examine the electrical powered device to confirm what's draining your battery.
