IP: Logged
Message:
i got a 95 dakota with the 318 auto and its been over heating when i go down the beach in super soft sand (anyone who's been to the padre island national seashore knows what its like). i run 31x10.5 tires with a 3"bodylift. most of the time i can keep movin in 2wd and i can watch the temp rise but when i have to switch into 4hi the temp realy rises quick. i tried a new thermostat 192degrees, but it didnt seem to help. any ideas

one common cause of overheating is a bad radiator cap. Probably time to replace it.

Another common cause of overheating is the transmission. Also, make sure your radiator fan is working properly. The fan clutch may be toast, and if it is, it'll cause an overheat, especially at lower speeds under higher loads.
