Temperature question
I have a 2000 ram 1500 with a V-6. What temperature should I be running with AC on and a 90 degree F day. My temperature gauge appears to read warm, I would guess reads 240 degrees F. New thermostat is 2 years old. New water pump is 3 years old. Late last summer the radiator started leaking so I put in some stopleak. Is the radiator causing my overheating problem? I want to replace my radiator but I want to make sure my problem is fixed.
Thanks

First you need to determine what the temperature actually is.
The electronic gage system may not be accurate.
Check the rad temp [top rad hose] with an IR gage or some other known to be accurate. instrument before you add any parts.
BUT the last time I used stop-leak it stopped up flues in the radiator.
