#8 of 64 mine too!!! by coachm Dec 10, 2007 (7:10 pm)
mine is doing that now. I changed thermostat. Driving it over heats, but when stop it cools down. 2 hoses going into firewall are hot Hose on right with radiator cap is hot, hose on left of radiator is warm at best.   Could this be bad radiator? or water pump? Durango is now sitting waiting to get in the shop!!!! Replies to this message: vondamnd (Dec 30, 2007 7:37 am)

Replying to: coachm (Dec 10, 2007 7:10 pm) Try back flushing the heater core. I had this happen twice now, once when I bought the truck and just last year. I have owned my 98 Durango for 4 years now and have had my fair share of troubles, but the one you described fit last years trouble to a T. I lost my heat and it was overheating, when I took it to the garage we replaced the thermostat but it did not give heat so they back flushed the heater core and that did the trick. Unfortunately, now a year later, I think we have to do it again as the problem is coming back. Chalk it up to a Dodge, and I'll never buy one again.

Replying to: buckshot1972 (Aug 08, 2007 1:10 pm) Fan clutch was the culprit for my 2000 Durango 4.7. Hayes aftermarket worked better than original OEM. It was an easy fix. But, that should have been found when water pump was replaced, right? So, maybe something else? What is tempeture resister?
#11 of 64 Overheating by 2004durango Jun 03, 2008 (6:15 pm)
I have a 04 slt 4.7 with 82000 miles. All of a sudden it is "trying to run hot". I have replaced the the air filter, had the cooling system (radiator) flushed and chemically cleaned, new belt, had clutch fan checked out, water pump checked and so on... nothing is fixing the problem. It gets up between 1/2 way and "hot" and as long as I drive it will come back down, but if I stop it keeps going up. It also over revs when you stop and it's running "hot"..... please help?????!!!!!!! Replies to this message: tkitasca (Jul 24, 2008 8:41 am)

I have a 2000 5.9l dodge durango and it keeps overheating. I have replaced the thermostat 2x in the last 7 months. When it overheats it shuts out rust color water. I don't know what else it could be. Any help would be great.. Replies to this message: pudge22 (Jun 03, 2009 8:26 am) besmith3 (Jun 03, 2009 3:45 pm) sdout (Jun 07, 2009 11:07 pm)

Replying to: 2004durango (Jun 03, 2008 6:15 pm) 2004durango, I have almost the identical problem. If I run at low RPM's city driving, my temp gauge climbs to hot then returns back to 1/2. I've replaced the fan clutch, thermostat and radiator in the last year but I still overheat. My dealer did a pressure test and thinks there is a 'leak' (cracked head?) on cylinder 3 and I'm loosing pressure in my cooling system. I know nothing about cars...all I know is I'm not sticking the $4,000 they want to try and fix it. If you figure anything else out..I'm all ears!
