Default 02 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L overheating
Recently replaced a ruptured upper radiator hose. It was overheating before and after the repcement. 2016 radiator replaced. 2017 I replaced the waterpump. In Oct 2019, I replaced the thermostat and thermostat hoousing along with some fresh coolant. STIILL RUNNING HOT! Just yesterday. I replaced the ruptured upper radiator hose, new clamps and new fluid... STILL RUNNING HOT!!! Any advice? I'm so lost...

How is your fan clutch? Also, did you get all the air out? Are you losing any coolant?

With engine running and radiator cap off, do you get bubbles? Of course do this test when engine is cool.
