My truck stalls in hot weather, how do I fix this?

Answer by  Jay18 (112)

You may be low on oil, if it is low, the oil becomes extremely hot which can make the vehicle stall. If that isn't the problem, your fuel pump might need to be looked at. It can also cause the vehicle to stall in hot weather or under heavy driving conditions.

This is far too little information to diagnos the problem of your truck. I recommend taking your truck to a mechanic to have it looked over. It could be a fuel issue or something else, but a mechanic will be able to answer your questions.

The truck is probably suffering from vapor lock condition that is due to air getting mixed with the gas in the line. The cause could be as simple as a fuel line being too close to a heat source and needing proper shielding.

If the truck is overheating, then you can check the coolant level, water pump, or belts. The fuel system may have moisture also so replacing the fuel and air filter may resolve the problem.

Chances are that you need to replace the humidometer in your truck. This humidometer guages the outside humidity and sends a signal to the fuel pump. The fuel pump then pumps more or less fuel to the engine based on weather conditions. For example, if it's cold and dry, the engine requires more fuel.

That is really weird if it stalls in hot weather maybe the heat is affecting the engine. So I'm guessing you have to add some cooling fluid into the engine.

sounds to me like you might need to add some collant to it. find the manual and see where you check the fluid level
