I just purchased a 2001 R/t and it had a problem with heat cooling down when at idle. Some on this forum had the same issue took it to the dealer and they replaced the Tstat. The used dealer I purchase from said this model if known for air bubbles because the radiator sits low. I took it back and they purged the air and it works like new. You might try that before you change the stat or worse. Good Luck.
