Re: f150 4.6 overheating

Welcome to AF!

Check the antifreeze to see what temperature it is protected to. If your antifreeze is freezing in the radiator it could be slowly melted at idle, whereas if you run the vehicle it will get to temperature before the antifreeaze slush melts in the radiator and will make the engine overheat.
