Some Dodge Grand Caravan owners report experiencing engine overheating above 3000 RPM, even after a recent thermostat replacement. This issue may stem from several underlying problems, including coolant leaks from the water pump, radiator, or hoses, which can lead to insufficient coolant levels. Additionally, a faulty thermostat can disrupt coolant flow, while a malfunctioning water pump may fail to provide adequate circulation, contributing to overheating. In some cases, multiple cooling system components may fail simultaneously, exacerbating the issue. To mitigate these concerns, it is recommended that owners inspect the cooling system for leaks, ensure proper coolant levels, and verify the functionality of the water pump. If these measures do not resolve the overheating, further diagnostics may be necessary to identify the root cause.
