I fought my Dodge Ram 1500 with a 4.7 for a year. Did the normal stuff - new radiator cap, thermostat, flush the radiator. Nothing ever solved the problem.

Was made in Mexico. New radiator wasn't from Mexico - China maybe. I had put a bottle of stop leak into the system thinking I had a head gasket leak eariler. Probably didn't help the situation.
