let me ask a few of you. I think it's the Thermostat, or the Fan. But today seeing its 90 outside. I came home and the cooloant was boiling out of the tank. I let if cool off fill it up with water and drive it one block and it's over heating again.... Which one does it sound like the most? I'm leaning to th efan because I have not heard it come one.....

Welcome to the wonderful world of replacing your water pump. BTW, try to avoid driving it at all until you get it fixed.

What Pete said....
Also, when the waterpump gets replaced, get an aftermarket one with a metal impeller. The plastic impeller that the Ford OEM one tends to fall apart or wear down to oblivion, which is the reason the waterpump fails.

Why is it called a water pump? They should call it a coolant pump.
