My 2000 XLT 4WD auto has new radiator, water pump, thermostat, belt and hoses. Twice now, on first cold start of the day temp gauge stays at lowest point, then 3 mi. down the road climbs to top of gauge and spits coolant . Shop that did the work (very reputable) can't figure it out. They've let it run in shop, 'burped' all the air out and it runs and drives fine. But when shut off and cools, overheats on next start up. No leaks, oil looks, smells good. No visible white smoke or water in exhaust.
Any ideas?
