Question cooling system

Hi to all. My 2000 Durango with a 5.9 makes a gurgling/boiling sound where the top hose goes into the radiator. This only happens when the engine is shut off after a normal drive. I have a Ram the same year and motor and haven't had this problem. Any ideas on the cause of this?

Thanks,
Jim

get the radiator checked for being clogged. and / or the stat. when putting the stat in DO drill a 1/8 hole the the plate. that will let the air go through and let the coolant fill better. beleave it or not that mod is approved by chrysler. its a long story, but very interesting.
