My 1995 dakota is overheating, replaced water pump, thermostat, fan. What to do????

Water pump, thermostat, clogged radiator core, bad fan, blown head gasket.

Any of those can lead to overheating.

check the blades on the water pump

Check the operation of the cooling fan
The water pump impellers could be worn down
Your radiator could be clogged up and need cleaned out

the engine is a V8 4.7 liter

Cooling fan , relays , coolant temperature sensor, if all this checks out then its the water pump.

Yes, It could affect the cooling fan. R&R the alternator. Good Luck, Ned

1. Is fan turning when engine runs?
2. Is belt in place to turn the water pump?
If so, sounds like most likely a thermostat problem, thermostat is normally located at the end of the hose that runs from the radiator to the top of the engine, or more appropriately, the water pump.

Need a new electric fan.

Check to see if there is water in the oil...If there is water in the oil then it could have a head gasket problem..Did you ever replace the thermostat? If it is stuck then it would also cause overheating...Excessive exhaust backpressure because of a clogged catalytic converter could also cause overheating..Also check belt tension and condition. A loose belt that slips may prevent the water pump from circulating coolant fast enough and/or the fan from turning fast for proper cooling...Another thing it could be is a faulty Water pump -- Any wobble in the pump shaft or seepage would call for replacement. In some instances, a pump can cause an engine to overheat if the impeller vanes are badly eroded due to corrosion or if the impeller has come loose from the shaft. The wrong pump may also cause an engine to overheat. Some engines with serpentine drive belts require a special water pump that turns in the opposite direction of those used on the same engine with ordinary V-belts... Also check the Fan -- With mechanical fans, most overheating problems are caused by a faulty fan clutch, though a missing fan shroud can reduce the fan's cooling effectiveness by as much as 50% (depending on the fan's distance from the radiator) which may be enough to cause the engine to overheat in hot weather or when working hard.
