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. Had the block/head checked by checking for combustion gasses in the coolant. No combustion gasses. Radiator had a little seep where the core meets the side tank and since it was under a lifetime warrenty I took it out and got a new one. STOPPED THE OVER HEATING.

Was warm by touch of hand only on drivers side 1/4. The cores in new radiators are so small they plug easily. Replaced radiator was only 2 years old - installed after I had hit a deer. 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.
