So I’ve replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator and fans on my 17 charger rt, worked fine for a month or two but now have the same problem over overheating while the car sits at a red light or comes to any stop, not sure what could be causing the problem. I have a comp cam , headers , TB, cai, 180 thermo and tune from jay Greene. Don’t notice any leaks under the engine but where the intake manifold and heads meet there’s small brown and yellow build up on two sides. If anyone has had this problem or know anything that can be causing this? Don’t want to take to dealer yet if it’s a small issue. Normal coolant temp sits at 185 running but sitting slowly goes past 220+, will come back to normal driving.

How is that Mishimoto Thermostat?
I remember reading over at the Lxforums that it tends to fail close?

Hemissary over there is the equivalent of what Ddaddy was to us over here...needless to say I'd bank on his advice..

Avoid Mishimoto
I used to be a supporter of Mishimoto but out of 4 products I have bought from them, three have been defective/had issues. 1. Thermostat #1 - Used for three years no issues. I changed it as part of preventative maintenance. 2. Thermostat #2 - Failed after two months, was partially stuck closed...

Watch those 180°F Thermostats Boys!
Went out to Evadale raceway to try out my freshly tuned 2015 Scat Pack after a JBA long tube headers and high flow cat install. Run was not what I expected. Maybe it was the failure of my Mishimoto 180°F thermostat. Got it all on video. Nearly killed my car. Yes I did not immediately notice it...

180F Thermostat FAIL!
Watch out for MotoRad 180F thermostats! They go by many brand names and prices! I'm not saying they are faulty or unpredictable, just that my experience with the MotoRad was not good. Also the build quality IMHO is not even close to the new MishiMoto I installed to replace the MotoRad...
