round 1 OVERHEAT
I was driving my brother to the store and I thought the engine sounds funny. no rattle of a diesle sounds like a regular triton engne. so on the freeway I noticed the check guage light came on. and I looked HOLY ***** the engine temp is almost in the red, so I try the heater crank that up takes a little bit to warm up, guages still climbs then it falls, heater turns cool. hear a rattling in the passenger side then the guagge rises and the heater eventaully gets hot. repeat this cycle severealtimes before I manage to get to the dealer. get to the dealer I noticed some coolant on the running board, popped the hood looks like I think it was the intercoooler was low and boiling. and they let all there techs go an hour and a half early. They claim it will be ready today.
the truck: its the one Im trying to sell has 600 miles on it now, and completely stock.

I assume that you meant to say radiator rather than intercooler...
The only thing that would cause such a thing (a low coolant level) would be some kind of leak, or possibly internal consuption of coolant through the heads.
Was there an external leak anywhere?

Did the clamp break, or slip off, and which one was it?
