Getting warm when driving

What is your question?

I have an 05 dodge dakota 4.7. When I'm driving it gets warm(gage read 3/4 the way). It was doing this before I put a new radiator, water pump, fan clutch and thermostat. After all that it is still doing it. I have burpt it. No air in system. But at idle it goes to normal temp. What else am I missing? Oh and no leaks that I see.

Hello, it still could have an air pocket in the system. I know you have said you have "burpt it" -- but sometimes air pockets are elusive. Have you checked the actual engine coolant temperature other than what the gauge is saying? Use this link to find some shops near you that can help with your concern: www.repairpal.com/repair-shops
