George:

Just one more thing to check.  You mentioned that you have installed a five bladed flex-fan.

A number of years ago, I also replaced my normal fan with a flex-fan (on a non-MOPAR).  They make them for both clockwise and counter-clockwise operation for different engines and they sold me the wrong one.  I had much the same symptoms that you describe.

Could your fan be trying to force the air forwards through the radiator instead of pulling it towards the engine?  It might give enough cooling on the street at low speed but when going at highway speeds the incoming air would be fighting your fan.  

Just a thought.

Good Luck and let us know how it works out,

John Mc Adams

Hi Gerry,

Well, I've made reservations at the Red Lion. The problem is I don't know if
my Chrysler will make it up through the mountains outside of San Diego. I
tried a Sunday drive that would have taken me about half  way (35 miles)
through the mountains. We got about 12 miles and the car overheated. So now
I've got to find out what's causing the overheating. I've recored the
radiator, new thermostat (checked with LASER heat sensor and its working)
new hoses, new radiator cap and etc. I do have a five blade flex-fan in
place of the original four blade fan. I'm at a loss, I can drive all day
around town, on the freeway, stop and go traffic and no problem. As soon as
I try a mountain it overheats. Any suggestions?

Bottom line - Can I bring the meet registration form and $25.00 to the meet
rather than mail it in advance.

Happy New Year,
George
