My Chrysler 300m has started over heating after driving about a mile. When started and left at idle it takes about 45 minutes to get hot. I have changed the the thermostat, the radiator, the top and bottom radiator hoses, heater hoses, flushed the engine block. I seem to have good water flow whwen running, So I don't think it's the water pump. Could it be the Cadilytic converters?
Please Help!

Retest the thermostat and bleed the system Always bleed air from cooling system after replacing coolant. Set heater for maximum heat. Remove radiator cap. Loosen drain plug and remove drain bolt (if equipped) from engine block. Drain coolant reservoir. Fill coolant reservoir to MAX mark with 50/50 water-coolant mixture. Loosen bleed bolt and fill radiator up to base of filler neck. Close bleed bolt when coolant flows out without bubbles. Tighten bleed bolt. With radiator cap removed, start and operate engine to normal operating temperature. Add coolant if necessary and check for leaks.
