You may be burning the coolent. The head gasket may be leaking causing antifreeze to enter the cylinders. Does it run okay other then the heat problem?

Good luck man, I am in the process of the same thing, except someone overheated mine before I got it, cause my head was warped too. Im starting re-assembly now

1000 miles on the rebuild and now this.Ted said that the temp in a turbo motor will get to hot and it will throw off the ecu thinking it was retarded and blow out # 4 cyl. I guess we have to re hook the egr valve to keep the temps down. Any sugestions please help? Truck was running great untill today this sucks
