First drain the radiator. Next leave the rad drain open and remove the heater core hose from the top of the rad by the filler cap. plug the hole in the rad where the heater hose was and use an air gun to inject air into the cooling system via the disconnected heater hose. Be sure to use short spurts so that you so not over pressure the system. This will drain the majority of the engine and the coolant will come out in a hurry. Hope this helps.

ussually the problems is coused by too much pressure in the system or worn heather core hose or by a faulty water pump or blown head gasket check system for air buble while engine running if no air bubles change termostat and water pump and the problems should be gone.

Sounds like you may have a bad injector, as the motor heats up, the injector's resistence increases to the point the injector stops operating.

No, not normal for that year of car. Are you using multivis oil? Are you operating at low temps? How many miles on the engine? Does it come on at stops or no? If yes, this is more normal after 150K miles. If you want the truck to last, you will need a new oil pump soon.

the gage in the dash is stuck or out of range

General answer is: If there isn't a key hole on the dash to do so then the only way to turn it off is via removing the fuse.  You may be liable in an accident though and the vehicle wouldn't be able to pass an inspection so could be a fine.  I do it myself though - I'm on rough roads a lot and have bumped into trees playing and so usually remove the fuse or put a burnt one in it.
Hope this helps.
