Same thing happend with the 5.9 I helped lift on Saturday. The problem was there wasn't enough coolant. Try topping it off again. The T-Stat might have been closed when you tried before. Least that's what we had to do.

Just remember that on the 4.7 you need to bleed the coolant line. Look on top of the engine right where the hose goes to the motor. Should see a cap that takes an allen wrench, says coolant bleed next to it.
