Was it driven a long time after it overheated ?

Customer replied367 days and 10 hours ago.

I'm not sure how long it was driven. She had been keeping an eye on the temperature gage and it wasn't in the hot/high range and then it just jumped to the high range and then maybe 3 miles later it quits.

Ok that would help if you can tell me that.Most common is the vehicle got so hot it melted the crank or cam sensor which is causing this issue.Another possibility is the water pump seized and the timing belt jumped time or snapped.These are what you need to check next for this issue.Hoped this helped.Positive feedback and bonuses greatly appreciated.
