Description of the problem	About 3 weeks ago, while returning from the park with my dog, my warning light for temperature illuminated red and i saw that the temp. Gauge had spiked to hot. I pulled over and as i was going to shift into park, the temp. Gauge fell back into the normal operating range very quickly. I thought it was just an anomaly. About 3 weeks later, i noticed that the fan was running loudly and shortly thereafter, the temp spiked again. I did so research on-line and found out that this model explorer has been having issues with radiators failing. I brought my truck in to my mechanic who found that my radiator was indeed compromised and was leaking from the bottom of the unit. A new radiator, thermostat ad water pump were installed costing me close to $1000.
