    Hi all,
    My 2005 tundra suddenly started overheating as soon as I drive it a mile. Also my heater stopped blowing hot air, I can’t get a straight and consistent answer from anyone so I thought I’d try here.
    Thanks for any input,
    Chris

    Could be a few things, but I'd check the thermostat first. Good luck.

    Custom bug spat pattern hood, grill & bumper. Dead Live Oak leaf collection under hood, cowl and lower fenders. Beach sand custom floor covering.
    I thought the heater core bypassed the thermostat. My guess is failed waterpump. Either broken impeller, belt or even very low coolant
