Check to see if air is getting through the radiator. Don't know if it's applicable but when we used to ride ATV's the radiator fins would get clogged with mud. Maybe something other than mud in your case but it sounds like no air is getting through. Could be bugs...grass....anything. I would definitely check it really good.

What is the normal operating temperature on the 2.7? What temperature is the thermostat supposed to open at?

And whatever the stock temperature number is, can it be replaced with one in the 180-195 degree range?

My engine was overheating a little and the coolant was boiling too. It came out to be that my coolant reservoir is leaking and it doesn't hold the presure needed. I have dodge stratus sxt 2004 2.7L.
