Try bleeding air from system like this remove cap from overflow tank fill with antifreeze to full mark leave cap off and start vehicle and let idle you will notice level in tank start to rise this is normal once thermostat starts to open level in tank will drop add more antifreeze to full mark then put cap back on.

    There is a skid plate under my 2009 charger and the dealer removed to see if that was making the noise I was hearing. And now I am having overheating problems. Could that be why I’m overheating?
