You must check the coolant level in your radiator and reservoir. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating. If it's low, you may have a coolant leak that needs to be repaired. Good luck!

Which motor do you have? Because some won't even start if you don't have any coolant in it. The rest will shut off as soon as the truck overheats.

Your 1985 Toyota Pick-up seems to be running alittle ruff when you start it but it goes away after about 10 min?
Since the truck has a turbo, you need to allow it warm up for a couple minutes before you jump on the gas pedal. I find on my 1986 2.4L Pickup if I start it and let it run for about 2-3 minutes it greatly improves the performance of the truck.

How do you reset security light on a 1999 GMC Savana 2500?
Attempt to start the truck by turning the key on the security light should start flashing. Allow the light to flash for 10 minutes light should eventually go off on its own after 10 minutes. Then Cycle the keyswitch again the security light will start flashing again allow this to happen for 10 minutes and cycle the keyswitch one more time after 3 complete cycles you should be ready to turn the truck on and that will be all set.

What makes your 96 Dodge Neon Start up run for about a a mile then just die and not start for about fifteen minutes?
My 2000 was acting the same way, it had something to do with a sensor being bad, and it would make the car think it was over heating, those are the same actions your car will have if it overheats, but we both know that its not, so it could be a sensor.
