definitely needed to be replaced . . .

 

WOW! I'm surprised your motor didn't limp all the time.

 

besides it over heating it showed no other signs. i had this radiator cleaned back in july and we have ran it 556 mile since the time it was cleaned to the time we replaced it. so was it worst or did they not clean the radiator?

 

They probably didn't clean the radiator out very well from the get go. Funny thing is they should have picked up a temperature difference if they would have hit it with a thermal temp gun and told you there was a problem and or told you it didn't work. I would find a new shop if I were you.

 

well its cause our town is small and i didnt have much of a choice. i could of drove 25 miles but that would of made it worst, instead of a radiator i would of had to replace the engine. i took the radiator to the shop and they refund me $30, it was $84 which included radiator, engine, and heater flush, coolant, 2 hose clamps. plus he still had the nerves to ask to keep the old radiator.

 

Concerting it's a small town (and I'm from one) I would let it go. Hell they refunded $30 and you still got new fluid so you still made out.

 

How often was the coolant changed in this Durango??
