can anyone relate to this.....I've replaced my fan motor, radiator, thermostat (twice), thermostat housing unit, reservoir, etc. and my car is overheating for the third summer in a row.....what's next - a head gasket? I don't understand why the mechanics can't figure out the problem? Has anyone out there experienced this and if so, what was your solution....besides junking it???

Have your mechanics check the coolant flow? Could be a problem with the water pump or a semi-clogged radiator.

MOPAR's are known for their fine cooling systems. They work well because of the large number of small capilary tubes in the radiator. This is also their weak spot. The fine capilary tubes tend to become plugged at about 100K miles resulting in overheating. I have found that replacing the radiator is the best route to go if you determiner it is plugged. Good luck!

yea, happened to mine, check your water pump seal, cost $500 to fix mine, couldnt find the problem, had it looked at 4 times, finally had them check water pump and they found a cracked waterpump seal that let air in under pressure..
