3.1L V6 are famous for bad intake manifold gaskets that are made of plastic. See if you can find the source of the leak and how bad. Too much leaking could cause overheating problems. A bad water pump will also cause problems. btw, I blew my engine by not getting the intake manifold gasket repaired in a timely fashion. IF you have the money I would get it changed to avoid problems down the road.

How do you fix overheating on a dodge Ram 250 van?
I'm not a mechanic but, I had to replace my radiator to fix the overheating problem on my 1994. That was the last thing I replaced after replacing the water pump, thermostat, and replaced my fan with a clutch fan. have not had anymore problems with it overheating once the radiator was replaced. Flush the coolant first then replace the radiator. Hope this helps.

Why is your 1995 Chevy Monte Carlo ls overheating problem?
Check your coolant levels and make sure it is up to level and decent looking...Coolant (in this case) should be a nice Lime green. Engine Thermostat is probably the most likely cause of overheating...It should be replaced if you haven't already.
