Your Pantera should not overheat, but without examining it, I can't say- the possibilities are many, and some are expensive. What area do you live in? I can recommend a local expert to look it over & give you an estimate, but long-distance diagnosis on such sparse info is impossible, I'm afraid. Sorry.
