Default 2007 3.5 overheating

I posted about the overheating in general discussion.


I may have the engine tested by a trusted local mechanic tomorrow or soon.
I need to find out if there is a blown head gasket before i continue.


The car runs great(unless you drive it for a few miles and stuff). The engine sounds good and it seems to shift ok.
I got it up to 60 mph but then slowed to 50 because of the shaking...


So, i need to rebuild the front suspension. I know nothing about it.


I don't know about the brakes yet but she seems to have a complete set
of four 10 year old tires. I destroyed one this morning when I drove it
a mile to the auto parts shop and didn't notice it went completely flat
and came off the wheel... oops.



so now i own one new tire.



I think after the car got the 133,000 miles maybe it has been parked for a while. i just don't know yet. All the tires need replaced.


interior and exterior are a bit rough but... well maybe i'll get some photos soon.


Can I revive this old Magnum? I think so.

Check to see if there is oil in the radiator or water in the oil, if the dip stick comes out milky white you have a problem same goes if you see oil floating in the coolant. Run a compression and leak down test, They are cheap, fast, easy ways to find out if the engine needs to be opened. Lots of videos on you tube to show you how. As for over heating, the water pump and/or fans are the usual suspects.
