over heating
While pulling a boat (about 5500 lbs) with my 05 F250, it makes a loud sucking noise, sounds like a carb. motor with no air cleaner, then the temp gauge will go to hot. When you let off the temp goes back down to normal. There was colant on the resavor tank and the left side battery. Took it to Ford and they could not find anything wrong. Anybody had this happen or any ideas of what is causeing it?
The truck is stock.

Check the coolant hoses, it took two trips to the dealer for them to find one loose which blew coolant everywhere. For me it was the top driver side hose that was loose from a recall pipe that was replaced a month prior.
It does not look like much but images in my gallery show more white dried coolant where the hose was loose: http://www.emerickdesigns.com/media/.../target34.html
...there are more images in the same gallery.
