Hi Matt, Your problem could be the temp. sending unit. I have to replace one on a 413 with ac and looks like the compressor is in the way - yuck On thermostats, I use the ones from MOPAR PERFORMANCE with the larger opening.

When car is cold, from sitting all night... It starts up fine, I warm it up for 2 minutes and then start to drive. About 5 minutes into the drive the temperature guage begins it s ascent to it's normal spot; just about a quarter of the way up from the dead cold position. Then the needle keeps going, all the way to the HOT position, where it sits for a minute...and then it creeps back down to the quarter mark. Here is what I have done to date: - Pulled the NEWER radiator and had it flushed - Flushed the block out twice - Water Pump is fairly new on the 45,000, new everything, motor - Newer Hoses are not collapsing - Heater core is clean and works - I have "burped" the radiator All I can think of is that the Thermostat is taking too long to fully open and needs to be replaced?? Who's with me? (Just a pain in having to lift up that A/C Compressor to make that change.) Thanks!
