95 dodge v10 new t/stat & radiator, overheats, hot upper hose cold lower hose, wont circulate er
SOURCE: dodge ram cooling system
first, try sqeezing the hoses several times too get any air out of them. second, you may have put the thermostat in backwards, so it is not going to open and let the coolant flow thru.you could ruin your engine instead of your radiator. good luck

Dealer only place to get the whole 3 piece radiator hose assembly for problem you describe. Not bad price.I know this from my experience. Trust me I searched everywhere. T-stat located where diagram that was sent. $60.00 for part

it is not safe to repair this part, if it fails and you loose your coolant the engine is ruined very quickly from overheating, replace it.

Replace the bad radiator hose first. Â Second- get you special formulated anti-freeze dye from the auto store and pour it into the radiator. Â Third- make sure you got all the air pockets out of your system, cause the coolant system won't work with air pockets in it. Â Fourth- Check for leaks by looking for the colored dye. Â If it's not the radiator hose, then could possibly be a pin hole in your radiator. Â Would suggest replacing all the radiator hoses at the same time while you got the coolant system disconnected, cause you don't want to have to come back and replace another hose in a few months.

SOURCE: 2002 dodge 1500 Changed radiator, thermostat, and hoses. No heat
Why was radiator replaced?Did it have heat before ? If it was plugged, the heater core may also be plugged. Try flushing it with a water hose in both directions. I dont know why the botton radiator hose would be cold, the radiator should be a uniform temp and the air coming through the radiator should be HOT, when the engine is at operating temp. What condition was the old coolant? if it was rusty, the water pump may have lower flow than normal.
