Yeah unfortunately i changed that out to and it didn't help the problem,I did the whole tstat,cap and flush thing and it still does the same thing it did before.the fan clutch is fine and the water pump looks fine(no water leaking or loose).I just can't believe that 53,000 miles and clean fluid that the radiator would still clog up.

Thanks fellas. It is not under warranty. I just wanted to see if anyone had similiar occurances. I asked the dealer about it. Stated it was the water pump doing it, but after they fixed it, they kept to the story. I am out of warranty by the time clause, not the mileage. They wont budge on "I brought it in, and it was broke then." So, at least I know I am not alone fellas. Thanks for all the info and the rads I looked at for mopar parts is 260-305 + shipping.

Thought i'd update on this thread that i kinda hijacked(a little...sorry),But anyways i found out what the problem was.It was the fan clutch.It looked fine(no wobbles,noises,ECT.),I just decided to change it and see if it was the problem.low and behold it was.The temp stays where it used to and doesn't go above,And you can sure here the fan kick on,especially when the AC is running
