Hello, everyone! Glad to have found this forum! I’ve got a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 that I’m going to flush the radiator on and replace the thermostat. I am, by no means, an automotive genius, but I can follow instructions.
i’ve noticed at speeds around 55 to 60, the temperature gauge climbs past the middle mark. It doesn’t get too close to the overheating area, but still concerns me.
The last time I had this issue, the thermostat was bad. However, I do intend to flush the radiator as well. My question is this. Should I flush the radiator system, and then replace the thermostat?
Again, I’m no automotive wiz, so any advice would be appreciated!
Thank you!
