I have a 95 Dakota Sports and recently its started overheating on me. I will be driving down the highway and the temperature will begin to rise then when i exit off a ramp and idle the temp Gauge almost pegs out!! Temperature goes up and oil pressure drops to nothing! And when i stop and cut it off water boils out of the radiator reservoir .Water pump has already been replaced and working and thermostat seem to be working. Was thinking maybe Radiator is clogged? Need some help ASAP

 

Ya it may be the radiator. Thermostats can fail even new ones especially when they get toped out on the gauge.

Double check your fluid. Your fan clutch may not be fully engaging as well.

 

Yea we are in the process of replacing thermostat right now to see if that fixes the problem but the clutch fan engages properly.

 

could air in the system cause that type of issue?

 

Yes it can if it is a lot of air. Not enough coolant!

 

Mine was clogged, try flushing it and if that doesnt work, take the radiator out and, if you have miney, buy a new one or use Hydrocloric acid to clean it out, but be careful it WILL hurt you lol. mine was doing the same thing.
