F250

Having a specific problem with Dads truck and no one can figure out what it is. In the morning, warm the truck up, take off driving and about 2 miles down the road it dies and starts to get hot. Pull over set 5 - 10 min., start truck, go on your way. Runs fine. Have put in 2 thermostats. Everything was cleared when testing but they blew some air out of hose and said that was it. Wasn't. Now they are saying gaskets leak but it was cleared during testing. Anyone else ever have anything like this happen? My dad is about to give up!! After doing work himself he's 77 and can't bend and work like he did so he has to take it to the shops.

Been going on for few months.

Are you sure you put the thermostats in the right direction?
