I haven't started the jeep in about 2 months. Prior to that, I'd only been around the block a couple of times.

Today I decided to fire it up. I couldn't see coolant in the filler, so I poured in about half a gallon and it filled to the top.
When I started the engine, coolant came pouring out the overflow tube. I got a bucket under it to catch it.
When it stopped flowing, I took off the cap and there was no visible coolant in the radiator. I looked at the temp gauge, and it showed hot, so I shut down the engine.

What do you think. Thermostat? Blockage somewhere?

Tips and comments, please.
