The engine's fan clutch may be bad and in need of replacing. When you began moving air will be forced through the radiator fins causing it to cool off.

I have a 2004 Dodge Durango. While driving, I lost all power to the wheels, yet all electrical and engine seemed to be operating. Pulled over, and it would not move , regardless of what gear I put it in ( N, R, D, 1, 2 ) My first guess is the transmission went out, but could there be a sensor or other cause for this. When I accelerate, I hear the engine, but still have no movement in any gear. 8 Answers
