Need more information as in how long after starting the engine does it indicating hot, can you see steam venting from the radiator or hear water boiling, are all visible v-belts in place, is the engine running smoothly or not, when was it last serviced - timing can be out, is there anti freeze in the radiator water and if so in the correct ratio. More info please.

My chevy impala keeps running hot eventhough the radiator and the fluid isn't getting hot. But after running for a short period of time or trying to drive for a short period the car runs hot and c

I would start by checking the fluid to make sure it's at the proper level, Then check to see if the thermostat is opening like it should. If you have good flow and you get heat inside the car but the car still overheats I think I'd be checking for blown head gaskets and head warp.

2004 dodge durango keeps running hot..i keep adding coolant then it stop for couple of days then start running hot again

If yo keep adding then you're obviously losing antifreeze somewhere. If it's not dropping on the ground then I'd say you have a blown head gasket and it's going out the exhaust. If you keep running it hot and it is a blown head gasket, sooner or later you'll warp the head or crack it, then you'll really be outting out the money for a fix.
