My 2000 Ford Explorer runs cold and then hot air I have added coolant, but it only keeps the car cool for a couple of miles. I have checked the engine for leaks, but do not see any coolant leaks.
Thanks!

HAve you noticed any white smoke from the exhaust? Also, check the motor oil to see if there is coolant mixing with it.

Let me know what you find.
