overheating
2001 G/C 4.0L is running hot. Water pump was replace about a year ago, I replaced thermostat today. With radiator cap off the water just gushes out. Im not sure if its the radiator or water pump. Any ideas, looking for some assistance. Thanks.

might also be an air flow problem, check to see that the fins are not all clogged up. Don't know these truck to much but do know Dodge is stingy on putting enough radiator in a vehicle if you don't get it with a tow package.
Durango have a terrible small rad if you don't get one with the aluminum one.

yeh, I replaced the hoses, and I dont see any fluid coming out of the water pump weep hole, if I was sure its the radiator I would pull it and have it flushed. Im just not sure.
