Running too hot usually is one of several possible coolant related problems. It could also be indicative of a vehicle hauling too much weight. What do you mean by losing power? While idling, when RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) fall it usually is indicative of a fuel mixture problem. If moving, and vehicle slows with RPM steady or rising, it usually is a driveline problem (transmission, axle differential, etc). If moving and RPM fall, it usually is a fuel-related problem.
