I have a dodge 2003 quad cab that over heats when pulling with 4.7 motor

Answer 1

What are you pulling weight> & RPM your at> might have to pull in tow so push the button in the end of the shift selector>What is over heat 210 deg is not overheating> Check coolent> are the fins on the rad clean???  

Answer 2

have you ever changed the thermostat in it or had the system flushed out,because a clogged radiator will cause one to heat up while pulling load,id check the thermostat first in it,those should be changed at least every two years,and that one may be original,also check the cooling fan and make sure its working right,if it isn't it will run a little on the hot side when under a load,if it doesn't do this when its not under a load it could also be the water pump going bad,its just not circulating the coolant fast enough to keep the engine at operating temperature,good luck on it.
