So my wife’s Durango was overheating after 70 mph and I couldn’t figure it out.. that is until I started getting splashed with coolant by the fan and looked at the bottom to find the radiator leaking, right on the corner at the bottom.. after installing a new radiator the over heating stopped… the stock radiators for these durangos have rubber plugs on each corner of the radiator from the factory… it’s a flaw for sure… I was fighting this over heating issue for about 6 months… at regular driving the truck wouldn’t over heat until you were above 3k rpm.. e I also purchased an aluminum thermostat housing and have zero issues..
@@mickeyward5216 They flushed the whole system so many times, new radiator fan, radiator cap, motor, battery, I really don’t know what was missing to fix it
I have a ford V10 and now the durango RT... what i discovered between the 2 as I was the original owner for both... there isn't a single brand that is going to build customers a vehicle that requires zero repairs, they'd be out of money if they never broke down.
@@thaleshenrique931 Temp sensor and oil sensor are just a switch, they aren't accurate. Get a physical gauge and hook it up to the sensor housing to get an actual reading.
@@StarHeadlinerzLLC after 1 year of nightmare I sold mine to a dealer… I had 4 thermosthats, radiator fan, radiator cap, battery, water pump, everything replaced and then finally the motor. 12k spent and after I had the new motor in, 1 week later the same problem showed up again. I decided to sleep better at night so I sold it.
I have no idea, the thermostat was replaced for 4 times, radiator, water pump, and last, the motor … even with the new motor the car continued to overheat so I got rid of it, spent 12k total trying to fix it ☠️
@@samark4349 i got it replaced but still is overheating but only happens when i floor it on low revs it stay just under the white line before it used to stay on half of white line mark on low revs and never overheated while flooring
also the radiator fan also is loud cuz temp is more than usual radiator is clean from inside no rust or anything although my cats are clogging and smell when the car is floored will get that fixed soon

Have you guys tried burping the system (bleed) that will cause it to over heat real quick
Why was it it overheating
@@RubenSoto-vz9ul nobody knows, probably the new owner is struggling with it rn
@@thaleshenrique931😂😂😂struggling wit it
Did you change out the radiator cap?
@@dannyyepez8142 yes, twice
What’s will happen if I didn’t change it?
Cuz ma car temperature getting higher for no reason
You ever thought about the radiator fan and also if yoour catlyc converters are clogged it will over heat
@@Godsgood-ij8em I got a new radiator fan too
Clogged coolant system or defective parts

This is why I’m not getting any dodge vehicles even V6 and V8
@@RealSonicstudiosMB I really love dodges, but next time I get one, I will buy with less miles and not take to dealer close to my house to repairs.

Change the thermostat and bleed the air from system
Maybe don't go 100
@@69skatermike 😂😂 that was only for show, but the car could easily overheat at 40 some days lol
@@thaleshenrique931 I put a big ass aluminum radiator and a Mopar replacement thermostat in mine no problems
@@69skatermike I didn’t have the same luck, so after spending 12k I just decided to move on

Keep overheating like that going to warp a cylinder head! If thermostats been changed they probably didn't bleed the air out good enough.
What year is it
@@versme6582 2015
Hey boss did you find the problem cause my Durango is doing the same smh 🤦♂️
I’ve changed the water pump once a few months ago and took it in for service and they said my water pump is going bad again… 🤦♂️
@@StarHeadlinerzLLC any updates?
@@Hamdan.092 no sir still does it, I just don’t speed so it doesn’t go above the half way line.
I have a rt and mine ended up being the radiator fan assembly and thermostat

motor temperature sensor ✌️
Probably head gasket when out
Buy thermostat
RIP 180 DEGREE
Buy new thermostats
Rip 180 degree

I had the same issue with mine, and I replaced the thermostat and fixed the issue.

You have to bleed the system correctly these are a MF to get the trapped air out. Also it has to be a Mopar thermostat
All that for 80
