Welcome to DF

Before i move your post. Did you check the cooling system and pressure check it? And is the fans coming on when it starts to overheat? Your post will be in the intrepid section.

Default Just like new...

Just replaced a blown head gasket on left cylinder bank...also, water pump, timing chain, bleeder valve housing and coolant return. 153,000 miles on my 2000 Dodge Intrepid and now she runs like it drove off the sales lot! I have a lot of respect for certified Chrysler Mastertechs having done this as just a DIY mechanic!!
