    so I have a 2011 sr5 tundra. I did not even a .5 mile drive and the engine is hot. It isn't overheating at all this has been going on for about 2 months but now I'm worried

    Without much info, I'd tell you to do the obvious:

    Check your coolant level
    Check for oil / coolant milkshake
    Check your thermostat
    Check your rad cap
    Bleed your cooling system

    Sorry I was little busy with work but basically I didn't get a chance to bleed it yet but when I check the coolant level it was full the near survey it went down to < 25% and now it's back to halfway
