Are you losing any coolant? Did you have a pressure test? Do you have a tranny cooler? If so, how about your tranny and what about it's fluid and level. How about the crank oil and rear end fluid levels. Has your gas mileage dropped? Are you sure that the new thermostat is opening? And, with that running temperature is your electric fan coming on?

I fixed the problem It was a cloged rad. Dealer said they flushed it then they said they sent it out to a rad shop to be tested. Said it was all ok Well i replaced it and it runs normal now. I took the rad apart and found half of the tube were blocked. Never takeing my truck to Youngs Dodge again PS I did get a refund for the work they did
