01 is300 temp gauge went up
i have 252k miles on her. But she still has her strength. very strong motor for this much miles. had a crack in a gasket somewhere, (this is about a week ago) put that liquid in radiator to seal cracks or whatever. then it stopped for about 2 days. motor was fine. then i took it out on about a 30mile cruise. highway speeds. as i was driving home the temp gauge was rising (not fully thank god) and the motor was smoking again when i got home /: any suggestions on whats wrong with her now? an under look of the bay

What color is your coolant? Still green? Or darker , brownish?
And if it's smoking and having temp problems it could be a head gasket.
The sealer could have sealed it temporarily. But those are a hit or a miss. My dad used some " head gasket" repair on his old beater work truck. Fixed it and held for 2 years.
