    Dodge Ram 1500 Truck overheating
    I have a Dodge Ram 1500 Truck 4x4 that is overheating. It has a small hole in the radiator that shoots water out when the gas is accelerated. When it overheats after only going a short distance it shuts off. Also had brake work done on passenger side caliper replaced and brake shoes. Trucks feels like brakes are locking up and holding it back. When it overheated I touched the tires and hub on that side and it was to hot to touch where the driver side was only warm. Any suggestions? Thanks

    . Replace radiator.
    . Clean and lubricate caliper pins with silicone grease. Calipers are likely binding and no longer "floating." You always service both wheels, when doing brake work; therefore, you need to get the driver's side brakes replaced.
    . Change brake fluid.
