Re: 96 Rodeo 3.2L V6
Fan clutch might be getting weak. Or radiator is plugging up with gunk, can happen after a while.

Re: 96 Rodeo 3.2L V6
If that's your original radiator....that's most likely the culprit.
Also, how old is the thermostat? If it was replaced, make SURE it is an OEM therm and not aftermarket....if it has not been replaced...replace it.. it's very easy on the '96/97 Rodeo's.

Re: 96 Rodeo 3.2L V6
 All of those were my option that I was gonna try and do starting first with flushing the system and then replacing the thermostat and if that don't help then move on to the fan clutch, but I just needed some varification on the areas first thanks and I will keep you posted og the resaults.

Re: 96 Rodeo 3.2L V6
If that's an automatic, take heed in smelling your ATF fluid, when the engine overheats on these beasts, so does the tranny.
