Its pretty easy to tell when that happens, your radiator isnt up to par for cooling, or your not moving enough air in at idle. make sure you have a good clutch fan or a a straight fixed fan (witha shrowd and properly spaced), not the cheapo flex fans, that pull no air, and fly apart decapitating nice fellow Mopar guys!
 Also going from like a 3 row to a 4 row will not help cool as much as going to a wider/taller same row radiator. Think about it what will cool faster a 5 gallon bucket of water or a 5 gallon 1inch pan of water say 577 inch by 577 inchs? the one with more surface area........By the way for all you number guys, there is 231 CI in a gallon correct?

No problems...
Don't post much, but had to when I know the answer.
I've got a 383 with 26" 3 row radiator, clutch fan and 190 degree theremostat. Everything stock. It can be 100 degrees outside and the mechanical guage never gets past 195. 6 packin is right - make sure the radiator is big enough as well as clean, good fan and you're ready to go!! Good Luck.
