Overheating Engine

First thing I would change the oil because you got the engine hot. If the lifter ticking does not go away you might have a colapsed lifter. It could take a min or two to pump back up if not then you have to replace the lifters. Good luck

Engine Cooling problem
2003 Dodge Ram V8 Four Wheel Drive Manual

i need to know the proper procedure in bleeding the cooling system

Dodge Ram 1500 4.7L, 2003. The engine is constantly overheating, due to pressure getting into the system. Changed the fan clutch, (It was broken), and solved the cooling problem, but there is still pressure in the water system, and, due to using 98% antifreeze, can't be from evaporation; leaving something -else- to cause pressure. No water in the oil, or vice versa, no burning oil, or even excessive bubbles in the water system; and yet, the water is still being forced out from the overflow. Radiator cap is new, too, and no visible damage on the gasket. Any ideas?

Check your radiator. I recently had the same issue. I change the thermostat, fan clutch, temp sensor and water pump and my truck still ran hot. Pull drain plug and see if there is a trash build up in radiator.

I have 2003 dodge ram 1500 4x4 with a 4.7 engine, 5 speed manuel tran. The truck is over heating the water pump, radiador, clutch fan, termastat all working. Can't drive the truck more the 4 miles.

Have an 03 dodge 1500 with the 4.7L in that is overheating but it is not the thermostat and it is not making oil and I cannot find where it is going what are my possible causes and solutions I pulled the thermostat off and tested it it still opens and you could fill oit with antifreeze and 10 miles down the road it would over heat and it have almost no antifreeze in it

My truck ran hot. So I was told the water pump was bad. I replaced it along with a thermostat. Then the radiator cracked the next day. So I replaced the radiator aND coolant sensor. It's still running hot after the new parts and bleeding. Idk what else to do.
