Default New Truck

hey guys i just bought a 97 dakota club cab with the 318 magnum. me and my dad bought it for a project car and we paid 1 thousand for it since it didnt run. we got it running and all it needed was a radiator hose. [sm=drooldude.gif] well we got it to run and its running hot for some reason. we think it might be the radiator since the heat wont get hot and the temp. keeps creeping up on us. were going to flush the radiator and see it that helps. any other tips? thanks alot


-Tyler

Flush the radiator and if you haven't already, drop a new thermostat in. Ask for the 180 degree one instead of 195.
