Thumbs up overheating

i own a 2004 dodge dakota, which is used as a pilot/escort vehicle for oversize loads. It has 275,000 miles and is still going strong. I have used synthetic motor oil ( 20/50) since new. I also had an overheating problem as described by another member and I changed everything ,water pump,hoses,cap, electric fan, clutch fan, and even had a flush and fill done, as it turns out the radiator was partially plugged inside. After it blew the left side and I changed it everything is back to normal.
