08 dodge charger 3.5L v6
Asked by Lenny Dec 27, 2016 at 09:32 PM about the 2008 Dodge Charger SE RWD
Question type: Maintenance & Repair
my charger is running hot, i replaced the RADIATOR, RADIATOR CAP, AND
THE THERMOSTAT. A friend of mine that works on cars asked me to check
the oil in the engine, if it looks like coffee with creamer in it then the water
pump is no good, ENGINE OIL LOOKS NORMAL, then he told me to check
to see if the reservoir bubbles while car is running and it didn't. i've also
noticed that the heat doesn't work in the car when turnt up on high.... i may
have placed the thermostat incorrectly in the housing but idk if that could
be the issue, i really don't want to spend a lot of money on the car, van
ANYONE HELP ME??????
