Summertime runs hot

[DJMiller]

Hello All
I have a 2013 Ram 1500 tradesman 5,7 Hemi truck I absolutely love but have a problem. When the temp outside gets above 80 ( which is now in South Ga ) My truck when sitting in traffic or a lengthy drive thru will run up to about 215F open road it runs around 195-197. This does not happen in the cooler months. I recently had the water pump replaced and a new thermostat last year ( cheap one.) Anyone have any idea how to help. Thanks

You may want to go to our other site - www.ramforum.com and ask your question there. This forum deals mainly on the Ram TRX.
