help?

Maybe it was just an air pocket from them changing the coolant but, im on the highway and the heater starts blowing cold, engine temp gauge starts creeping up and reservoir overflowed so i pulled over. Let the truck cool off, started right up and i have driven it 50 miles since and cant get it to replicate. Any idea what the hell is going on?

Guess you got it right....be sure to check coolant level after it sits for an hour or so. It should be at the lower FULL line.
