Bea, the more I get to know you, the more I like ya!!! :-D That last picture is fabulous (don't worry, I wasn't checkin out your butt -- I don't swing that way LOL) and believe me girl, at 5'0 I've been there myself a time or two. (Had to buy a step stool just to do a tune up on my F350 dually crew cab.)
You're getting great advice so far!
Do you have a fan shroud on that motor? It doesn't look like it in the pics, but it may have just not been reinstalled yet. Sometimes that can make them run hot too.
