overheating and missfires at 50mph

Asked by Lway00777 Jul 06, 2017 at 02:40 PM about the 2007 Dodge RAM 1500 SLT RWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

For two days my truck has been over heating and it
loses power a little when it gets up to 50mph plus
the check engine light starts ringing. I'm thinking
water pump and thermostats. I have to let the
heater  run while I'm driving to keep it from
overheating too fast. What should I do.

check the check engine code. Start by replacing thermostat and verify coolant is circulating through the radiator.
