cooling issue

sounds to me like the waterpump ain't pumpin' frequently the vanes on the pump are corroded away....from a PANIC refill with hose water...then NOT gettin' that stuff out of there right away~

Was it doing this before you flushed the system? If not then open radiator cap and crank it up and let it idle for a while. Watch level as it idles. As level drops in radiator add coolant/water. It might take a while but eventually you will get it all out.

thermostat

Oh also have heater set on max heat while doing the above. This should get the air out.

you could get a thermal gun for 17 dollars...the cats go nuts over the ruby red lazer~ that way we'd see exactly where's it coolin' okay~

so you think the t-stat is gummed open>H25?

"flush" didn't do nuthin'~?

I think it is possible, except closed, not open, from reading his thread...

you know I'm of a mind that pumpies not pumpin' no more~ you could pull the t-stat out and would not help~

Was it doing this before you flushed the system? If so take the advise of judgeroy and davidh25.

How did you flush this ohe? put the heater on....connect the heater to a garden hose?.....at the shop we had a fitting on the hose so that you could BLAST compressed air along with the water to "scrub" the cooling jacket clean...plain water at gardenhose pressures may not be enough...if it was really bad we'd punch out the freezeplugs unscrew the water jacket drains and let it flow a good long time....combined with blasts of air usually did the trick~

...could very well be a stuck closed thermostat as H25 said~ under 20 dollar fix~

Rudy1956 you have the top two gurus on this site trying to help you. You must be special. If you could give them a little feed back they will be able to help you get it fixed.

F*$#in AAAY right~ dandyoun~ we get nothing but a nod of approval...if that....like a union suit with the flap wide open with our asses just hangin' out~....what do we really care what is the problem here? I'm guessin' NOT~

What about the heater blend door? Could check it. Is it the 4.7 engine? If so, you have a bleeder screw located on the front top part of the engine. Does your temperature gauge show the normal temperature? If yes maybe your thermostat is O.K.

You don't have enough water,, run engine till stat opens and then let cool down. open rad cap and add more coolant

Pitblue, hey guys I have a 2007 dodge magnum and it keeps running hot and heater not warming up help me please

How do I bleed the air out of my cooling system. it is an 04 dodge ram has the 4.7

hi i have a 95 dodge ram 1500 5.9 ran fine till water pump gasket gave out replaced that solved. replaced thermostat and houses as well now it runs to cold replaced thermostat 2 times new one opens and closes ran with just water still cold

After this has happened to me twice with two different vehicles, I figured I'd help the next guy. It's most likely the radiator cap not allowing the coolant system pressure to be at normal operational temp to prevent boiling by maintaining pressure in the coolant system. If you have any doubts it's $6 to $15 part so just try it before digging in to far. Also I have read from mopar that they recommend changing the cap every few years.

Oxalic acid dissolve and tell no longer soluble in a gallon or two of hot water pour it into your radiator just your radiator and let sit for 1 hour and watch the calcium or lime deposits Fall Away worked like a charm after several radiator flushes and a trip to the dealer I even bought a new radiator just in case now I don't need one

My water pump appears to be circulating back thru reservoir, I put new fan clutch, and funny thing is gage gets higher out on interstate than in town??????

I have a stumper 99 dodge ram v8 360 offroad edition with transmission cooler.....my dodge for some weird reason and this happens every 2 months or so will redline...I went threw 4 thermostats in a year and brand new radioator and everything...so this last time I decided to just releive pressure off cap while it's running btw upper radioator hose when it's overheating is harder than to horny rats in a wool sock...anyway it's running 213 releive pressure hose goes back to normal and it's running 230....I take the cap off and fill it up and truck instantly cools to 192.....I burn threw about a gallon every 3 months and I cannot find any leaks...There is however this antifreeze smell from time to time but truck will run perfect till this pressure buildup happens....I'm stumped and really it's just a hassle to every month or so bleed off pressure....then wait till next time..Sometimes doesn't happen for 4 months?

It's very random and very weird

We need help our 1997 dodge ram won't stop over heating it just stopped leaking for now I replaced thermostat , housing , gasket ,sealant , glue ,upper and lower radiator hoses hose clamps , radiator cap, new serpentine belt, heater bypass hose hose clamps , water pump, water pump gasket, clutch fan why is it still over heating ????

2003 ram temp gauge eases towards hot only when I drive over 70mph. As long as I'm at about 65 or below it's fine

I have a 2013 Dodge 1500 ton pickup truck 4.7 liter Olive changing the thermostat and the seal broke how can I get that still out

How do you fix a coolant port plug? Trying to put a new water pump on a Dodge 2001 1500. And collant is coming out of a bolt hole that it should not

My truck done the same put new temp sensor new water pump new fan clutch ended up being radiator new radiator fixed heater and overheating

Question... I have a 2003 dodge ram 1500 w the 5.9. Truck runs great. Going down the road the temperature gauge reads normal. When I'm not moving it will begin to over heat. Any idea? Thx

Hey guys, my 2013 ram 4.7L is running hot. replaced thermostat and water pump. Still running hot. I have also flushed it out. What else is there to replace? BTW, only half of my vents blow warm air (passengers side) driver side is cold.

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 5.7, replaced the Tstat and still no hot air into the vehicle. The mechanic unhooked the hose from the water pump and said it was just trickling out. He said it was the water pump. I held off to read more about it. If it were the water pump wouldn't the engine over heat? Next thing was to try a blend door actuator unless someone can convince me that it could still be the water pump. Temp on vehicle has never gone past 3/8 on the meter since I've owned it. Thank you all in advance

Have a 2013 ram 1500 with a 4.7 did a timing cover and now have barely any heat and the coolant in the radiator stays cold. When I went to fill it after the cover I didn’t take into effect that the thermostat was at the bottom of the motor. Block got hot and red lined. Shut down and filled through the upper hose. Any ideas?

After doing more diagnosing, checked both blend door actuators below radio, replaced thermostat. I then realized the air was warmer on the passenger side and semi cold on driver side. A friend of mine spoke with a certified dodge mechanic and he has known for sometime and he said he was almost positive it was the heater core. Apparently it has a left and right side in the vehicle that blows across it. I am having that replaced in a few weeks and will see what happens and repost.

I got a 2000 model Dodge 1500 with a 5.9 want blow heat in the cab Have change thermostat and flushed heater core

2000 Dodge with a 5.9 want blow heat in the cab at time Have change thermostat and flushed heater core

I have a 1994 Ram 1500 3.9L. It was leaking near the thermostat housing. I replaced the water pump, thermostat (195 degree), thermostat housing, hoses, and both temperature sensors. I flushed the system with a garden hose connector. Now the temperature gauge shows too hot (around 230) and it seems the thermostat opens, but the system doesn't pressure up. Used a Lisle funnel to get the air out. What does the 2-wire temperature switch actually do?

I found a leak behind the timing cover and am in the process of replacing the timing chain and gasket. Not sure if this will solve the other problems.
