It has 197000 miles on it. Always maintained but recently after it warms up, when you cut it off antifreeze comes out the overflow spout on the overflow tank. The tank has a level indicator in it and it is in the ok level. Does anybody know why this is happening? Is the thermostat going bad or the radiator need to be flushed? Hammer Time Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Jun 20, 2011, 5:51 AM Post #2 of 3 (1802 views) Re: Dodge Durrango Sign In I would have the cooling system pressure tested for any coolant leaks and start watching the temp closely to see if it getting hotter than normal. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We offer help in answering questions, clarifying things or giving advice but we are not a substitute for an on-site inspection by a professional.

Then from cold just feel upper radiator hose which should go suddenly warm indicating thermostat opened and feel heat blow by radiator fan (careful!) so you know it it's blowing off heat. A flush new thermostat won't hurt and may help but I think this sounds more like a head gasket issue - pressure test cooling system suggested and checks for a head gasket putting vapor into cooling system, T   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
