Durango 2004 overheating!
Hello can someone help me out because i just noticed that my Durango temperature needle is getting kind of close to boiling `H` point.. I know that the weather is in the nineties but i have never the needle go any higher than the midpoint.. I just had my cooling system recharged and its working fine but i am not using it because I think it will bring the temperature higher much faster.. Please any help will be appreciated.. Thanks

I bet you $100 you have a 4.7l right? And you said you just had the coolant replaced, right? (whatever "cooling system recharged" means)
Classic signs of a 4.7l that needs 'burped' after adding coolant. You have air in there both causing the overheating and taking up space that should have fluid in there. Burp the system and you should be fine pending no mechanical problems undefined in your post.
Who ever did your coolant swap didn't finish the job. BTW, simply taking off the cap doesn't burp the 4.7s. Only works like that on 5.x's.

burping the coolant system is actually very simple. be sure that your coolant level is full. Start and run the car until It reaches normal operating temperature. Now the bleed valve is easy to find. looking into you engine compartment find the upper radiator hose(should be to the right of radiator) follow that hose toward the engine. in the vicinity of the end of that hose you will see a small metal block with an allen wrench type screw. you back that off slowly until you coolant coming out. You may even hear the air come out if you have a lot of air in it. once you see the fluid coming out tighten it back up. done!!!!!!!!!
