    Sounds like you may have a radiator that is about half stopped up. Try
this: Start the engine from a cold start with the radiator cap off. Warm up
engine to normal running temp and see if you have a good flow of water across
the radiator. If not, you could very well need to have the radiator cleaned.
Also, always run a 50% anti-freeze solution. Dodge is bad about eating up
water pumps if a good anti-freeze with rust inhibitor is NOT run. The
impellers will rust bad and cause flow to drop. Bill
