Trouble with overheating problem...

Just joined the group and hoping someone can help me with an overheating problem on my dad's 2003 F-250. The first time it overheated we did a flush, rotted the radiator, checked the water pump and everything was working fine. Last night we were pulling a 21' pontoon boat to the lake and the temp spiked again. A friend riding with us commented that the truck sounded like it was having a fuel delivery problem??? Could a fuel delivery issue affect the temp like this?

Thanks,

Dave

Hi and welcome Dave, great to have you on board!
For info on your dad's 2003 F-250, I`m not sure that it`s a diesel or that it`s a 7.3 or a 6.0, repost this in the General Diesel Discussion forum:https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum171/
If it has a gas engine look thru the FTE forums for the forum listed for it: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/index.php
Swing by to check out your local CA chapter soon too: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/forum163/
