If it was boiling you must have lost some. You did not say the needle was way high, so lack of coolant may have turned the light on. Next, let it cool, remove reservoir cap. Blow into little outlet, sud make a kazoo noise. Now suck, sud not get any flow. Replace cap and coolant if necessary. Driving in this Texas heat has me concerned too, but I'll post that separately... TBill 83.5 Westy (for sale) _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
