What to do if your 300m engine overheats?
He’s worked on 300M cooling systems before. When I turn “ON” the heat and crank the fans wide open, the temp will drop BUT not near the normal operating temp. The lower radiator hose still stays cool enough to touch. When I turn “ON’ the AC, the temp drops beautifully to normal operating temp.
Why does my 300m engine get hot when I run a / C?
Also, the rad is a cross-flow design, meaning the coolant moves from side to side as it is cooled. The fact that one fan blows cooler air than the other is also normal. When you run the A/C, the condenser, which sits in front of the rad gets hot. The air passing over the condenser then passes over the rad.
Why is the thermostat on my Chrysler 300 overheating?
If the hotter air from the condensor and radiator combined are hot enough they might get the coolant warm enough to open the incorrect thermostat, that makes some sense. Where did you get the thermostat?
What should I do if my car heater is not working?
A little test you can do is leave the can running, stationary at home and take a look at your temperature gauge that should be in your dash. Once you see it get to the middle turn on your heaters and see if you’re getting heat. If you are getting heat, your thermostat needs changing.

Why does my car overheat after 3 miles?
It is overheating in a strange way. After driving 3 miles it begins to overheat. Sometimes it will overheat, then quickly drop back down to normal temperature, but then overheat again. When going up any grade it definitely overheats.
