Looked at the temp gauge and it was pegged in the red. Pulled off the highway, turned off the engine for 10 minutes and all was good when I started it back up. Made a bee line for a gas station and put some water in, but not much. Drove another 25 miles home in stop and go traffic without a problem.

Change hoses if old.
