New to site, new to Mopar overheating issues

Lot's of good info here. IMO, first would be to verify that it's truly running hot. If not, change sender and retest. If it is running hot, I'd start by installing a new 180 degree thermostat and flushing out the block and radiator. If the cooling tube openings in the radiator have any crust on them, pull the radiator and have it cleaned (rod and repair) and flow checked. If the radiator shop says it looks sketchy, have a 3 row core installed. Ditch the flex fan regardless, and get a 7 blade rigid. I've seen those flex fan blade fatigue and grenade, sending shrapnel in all directions, including up through the hood. You don't have A/C so it shouldn't need a shroud. Doesn't hurt to have one though. Helps cooling in traffic. I've also seen mismatches on water pumps and it's pulley. They made 6 vane and 8 vane pumps. A/C and non-A/C. They spin at different rates. Having the proper flow is most important. There's always the possibility that the engine was bored beyond safe specs, or, there was a bad core shift. Too thin cylinder walls can result. In that case, it will never cool properly. Naturally, finish up with a good 50/50 antifreeze.
