My heater has not been working and recently the truck overheated. My mechanic replaced the fuel pump, which did not solve the problem. Then the thermostat was replaced which helped but the truck still seems to be overheating, I have not taken it on a long drive yet as I work fairly close to home, and my heater still does not work. What could possibly be the problem?
