we just rebuilt an engine several months ago and just replaced radiator and water pump and we test it to see if it still overheating, it still does alittle bit but it still getting too hot slowly, so what you suggest i should do? we checked transmission, it still in a good shape.

Did you check the thermostat, hoses, gaskets? Maybe water level in the radiator?

My parents bought a new motor home in 1977 on a dodge van chassis with a 360 V8 it overheated on every hill from day 1. The dealer couldn't fix it when it was under warranty what I suggest is adding an axillary radiator available after market like through J.C, Whitney or pep boys.

Worn fan clutch, dirty AC condenser radiator, broken/missing air dam (front air scoop), engine running too lean, timing too advanced would be a few things to check.

i'd imagine if it is a 1977, it probably has a fan clutch on the cooling fan. if so, i would absolutely replace that. they are like 15 bucks, and that sounds like exactly what your problem is. it's working enough to kinda cool it, but not enough to fully spin the fan as it is supposed to
