On my way to work this morning i did not have heat in my vehicle. Truck ran fine. On my way home I still do not have heat and I noticed a wooshing noise coming from the engine bay. The engine temperature was running slightly above 200 would creep up to about I would say 230 then back down to just above 200. Still no heat. This was all on the highway. 70 plus mile an hour speeds. Once I hit the surface streets the thermostat quickly rose the point where I felt the need to shut the engine off and let it cool. What's going on with my truck? 2004 Ram 2500 diesel automatic transmission.

Is there any antifreeze in the engine? Check the reservoir too but more importantly check the radiator. If the reservoir is empty then you're either leaking and or burning antifreeze.
