Can You Help A Girl Out?

First thing I would do is find a fan shroud. Good catch Leanna. When you say it runs hot a few miles out is this stop and go or highway? If highway its probably not the missing shroud. If stop and go the fan is probably not pulling enough air thru the radiator to keep it cool when slowing or stopped. Take a thick sheet of construction paper and put it against the front of the radiator while the motors at idle. If the fan doesnt suck the paper up against the radiator and hold it there you have poor air flow which may be your problem.DD
