96 Dodge Ram Overheating

My brother has a 96 Dodge Ram that keeps overheating after going a few miles. He has replaced the thermastate, water pump, and clutch band. The radiator is only a year old. The water levels are fine. There is no blowed head. Why is this truck still running hot?

Over heating usually occurs when your water radiator is some how clogged. Avoid cleaning it if its old, just replace it. If your radiator is also giving bubbles while heating then your engine combustion chamber (Head Gasket) needs to be changed and you are in big trouble now. Just change it and every thing will be fine.

If all above thing seems to be fine then check your timing. make sure its not over advance.
