You can test this by putting the car in neutral or park and revving the engine to about RPM under the redline for a few seconds. You should see the temperature dip as the water pump spools up. Replacing a water pump is only as challenging as getting to it. A mechanic would check the temperature of the engine manually with a heat gun in order to ensure that the gauge was reading correctly before tackling the repair.
When the car is overheating when idling and you SMELL the smells associated with a temp that is too high, you can throw the temp gauge theory out. Hopefully, this guide to why your Durango may be overheating when idle helped you fix your vehicle. If there is anything that you would like to add that could help the next person with theirs, your comment below is most welcome. One sends the hot coolant back from the engine to the radiator to be cooled.
And the other one sends the coolant back to the water pump to cool the engine. These hoses can crack with age.
Take a look at them and see if they have been leaking. Radiator Leak — Take a look at the radiator itself. Determining if there is a leak is going to depend a lot on whether or not you can easily see the radiator. Water Pump — There are gaskets between the water pump and the engine block. This is often a hard one to see, because all of the accessories alternator, power steering, serpentine belt are going to obstruct your view. Digital Outlaw answered 11 months ago.
Well the radiator was just an example, where does it seem like its not circulating? Must be the 4. I'd still suspect a plug in the radiator. It's a reverse flow cooling system. Disconnect and fill separately, see if it flows freely or if it slows. To check, disconnect and remove radiator, run water through it and compare flow going in to flow going out After confirming a blockage, add radiator flush solution to eat away any blockages, after recommended time rinse flush from radiator and retest for plug.
I first took the car in because my radiator was leaking and I had it replaced. The car ran fine for about a week and then started overheating again. The mai In my Dodge Durango the AC will blow but it's not cold I bought a can of free on but that didn't do anything for it.

Randomly overheating. What should I check now. Crystalsk answered 3 years ago. I've got a 5. GuruW7G2C answered 3 years ago. Tnetcenter answered 3 years ago. Air in the cooling system is the biggest overheating issue with these motors! I have a Durango 4. NO cooling issues prior to draining the coolant for the repair. Getting the air out is a bitch! Park on a steep incline nose up, idle until well after thermostat opens, top off with coolant, repeat!
GuruV4ZZX answered 3 years ago. Had the same problem with air after changing the thermostat. After 30 min of idling with heater on, bubbles still coming up. Drove it for a bit and will pop the cap check the fluid level, let it idle for awhile and see if we are still getting bubbles. Not over heating so far. Sxr answered 3 years ago. Chargermango answered 3 years ago. My durango overheated at miles.
It turned out to be the water pump.. Asked the wife to make sure the dealer had done a proper bleed procedure.. I bled system properly and now miles later it runs like a champ. Time now to give the dealer a call and give them a piece of my mind. GuruCCN61 answered 2 years ago. GuruHBGX7 answered 2 years ago.
