first, we need the code.

next is the thermostat, how old is it??

have a eak down test done to verify no head gasket issues.

otherwise the sender unit may be at fault.

Hi - entire engine, not including radiator was replaced in 2/12 so I am assuming the original thermostat is still on it. I can only get the code by hooking up to a machine, correct? Thank you.

that is correct, get a parts store to do it for you. it is free.

the age of the motor does not matter because overheating can cause damage at any time or mileage

how far is it??? if you are towing it, go to a real shop, not a parts store.

check with the parts store and see if you can rent the code reader
