over heating

[ty westbrook]

My srt ram over heated out of the clear blue, I changed the thermostate in the truck. It is running 200 to 210 is this right or could I have a problem? In the past it ran 190... Not sure what to look for next ... took it to a dealer and the viper tech acted like he really did not know... I only have about 50,000 miles on this truck and there is only about 10,000 miles on the engine after I had it rebuild a few years ago.

That's normal temperature unless you install a 170* thermostat and a tune to turn on the fan sooner. What's your oil temperature?

Welcome. 200-210 is normal operating temperature in warm weather. Where are you located?

Also, please fill out your profile.

Normal as stated above

change the Rad cap. It might not be holding pressure and/or it is letting in air.
