@2late4u @5rebel9 (2019 Dodge Journey crossroads v6) So since getting the radiator (Bc of the leak )and thermostat replaced , everything is / was running good. The temp of the coolant has been around 197 (WHEN I PUT THE HEAT ON) mind you I live in Florida , when the AC is on (keep on the button which circulates it in the car) the coolant temp is like 210-215 and bounced up to 221 today, does anyone know anything maybe I can put in it to make it cooler ? Or what can be causing this ? I googled a few things like “bars leaks cooling system repair additive “ which I read can lower the coolant temp, I’m a female and don’t know to much about this, it’s just getting annoying having the heat on in 95 degree weather jusy to keep the car running properly, thanks !

& yea I didn’t mean 6k over , I meant 6k since my last full synthetic oil change

It’s a Dodge Journey 2019 crossroads V6, & yea I run synthetic , so I’m at 6k miles since my last oil change (I’m going to get that done today) , today the car is running around 205-210 which it says is normal for my car but before getting it replaced (after the over heating ) it was running around 197, so just wondering why it’s running hotter now than before with the old parts…

So the other day out of no where my car started heating up. I opened the hood and realized the coolant was LOW. Mind you I run synthetic and I’m about 6k over my oil change . So I didn’t realize If it’s been going down or if it just started, I took it to The shop which they installed a new radiator Bc the coolant was actually was running a small leak causing it to drain. The thermostat was also replaced. My garage guy used a jug of mopar and half water while refilling my coolant. We started the car (after my car over heated I put more coolant in it and it was running fine , I drove home 50 min and it was running at 197, drove here the next day 25 min. Now that we got all this stuff replaced. We just started the car and it ended up rising to above 232. And the van didn’t even kick on till almost 220. Can someone tell me what’s going on. He thinks an air bubble but I am just so confused why after putting new things in it decide to (attached is a pic of the old radiator )
