95’ Dodge Intrepid 3.3 will not stop overheating
 
My car a 95’ Dodge Intrepid will not stop overheating. I replaced the
radiator, water pump, thermostat and the head gaskets are good. What
should I do?

Are the cooling fans operating correctly? (themselves and the
thermostat that controls their operation) Also did you check
condensor core for blockage of air flow through it?

are your hoses real soft? if so your lower hose could be sucking itself
shut.

also like sno man said, check the cooling fans, and go to a car wash and
make sure you get all the debris out from your condenser and radiator,
check the thermostat to make sure its opening.....a new one can be bad; a
pot of boiling water and a thermometer from the parts store works good.

Does the system hold pressure when it's hot? Do you lose coolant? I
had a tricky overheating problem on a late model Intrepid. After
replacing the thermostat, etc., it turned out to be a tiny, tiny leak
in the coolant reservoir which caused the system to lose pressure. If
the system can't maintain proper pressure, it overheats every time.
