I have a 97 Dakota with a V-6, 5 speed. Winter is coming and this truck hardly gets warm enough to defrost the windows. I had the cooling system flushed, new antifreeze and 195 degree thermostat put in last year and it made no difference. Doesn't matter if you run it for 15 minutes or for an hour, the temp guage never gets above about 150 or 160 degrees. I have covered most of the radiator with cardboard and it didn't help much. Any ideas, anyone else have this problem? I drive it to work, and in the winter I start it about 10 minutes before I leave and still have to scrape the windows. Even in the summer, air conditioning on and running 75 down the highway the temp guage stays about the same place. Help, I freezing, Chris
