Have you checked the computer for trouble codes ?

Broken Radiator Trans CoolerHope you can save the trans,don't count on it

Usually a leaking head gasket if its not transmission fluid.The gasket can leak oil into the coolant without leaking coolant into the cylinders.You might also want to check and see if you have an engine oil cooler running thru the radiator.

Yes it can.

Check the engine

You didn't mention your engine size so I'm just going to go with the most common (2.7 liter). If you look on the right (passenger) side of the vehicle about a foot behind the headlight along the frame where the A/C line is attached. I happen to have one here at my shop and guess I can shoot you a picture if you need it. You can reply here or feel free to email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to send you a picture. Thinking the picture below will help though but if not I will send. Hope this helps....

please see the diagram attached and test. Otherwise you must RUN the scanner/computer for easy diagnostic and fix it.God bless you

I would need to know what the actual trouble code is to comment.

A code 455 most likely one or more of the following has happened
a loose or bad gas cap
a non-conforming gas cap
other leaks or damage pieces in the evap system

Inspect the evap system for cracks or breaks in lines listen for vacume leaks or strong gas fume smell and fix all lines you find that are damaged ..I know you say you put a new gas cap but make sure it a conforming cap..Hope this helps

Very easy one hour job for most DIY's.Disconnect the negative (black) cable from the battery, then remove the positive (red). Unbolt and remove the upper support rail for the radiator.

Loosen the lower mounting bolt and pivot bolt on the alternator, but do not remove it. This relieves tension from the belt. Remove the belt.

Disconnect the electrical connectors. The battery line is connected with a nut.

Unbolt and remove the alternator. Install the replacement using the reverse procedure. Torque the battery cable nut to 85 in-lbs. (7 ft-lbs.) and the mounting and pivot bolts to 40 ft-lbs.
