I have a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 5.2L that shuts off after heating up

The fact that the vehicle is running hot, needs to be addressed first. How far are you from Interstate Auto Care and are you able to discuss this over the telephone. We are certain to be of assistance, but we do not recommend the continued driving of this vehicle in this condition, as you may cause severe engine damage if you continue to drive it. regards, Interstate Auto Care (248)307-1200
