2013 Dodge Charger SE 87k miles 3.6 Automatic Transmission (no codes, related to the overheating) 

Started overheating Thursday afternoon, I had replaced the thermostat in February, Thursday afternoon, as I was driving down the road I live on, the car overheated, oil looked fine, not milky, fans came on, and turning on the heater full blast didn't help much.

the oil's not milky, there is no coolant in the oil, no white smoke from the exhaust,

That is not really relevant. Depending on how bad a head gasket leak is you may not see obvious visible symptoms. There are many things other than a stuck thermostat or a blown head gasket that can cause overheating, and it is all too common for new parts to be defective. (Was the replacement thermostat an OEM part?)

Have you gone through the overheating troubleshooting suggestions in the site FAQ?


@chucktobias it was a duralast from Autozone, I did replace it, with one from NAPA, it now runs 208-210, but last night, on the last leg of getting it home, it started to climb to about 216

the oil's not milky, there is no coolant in the oil, no white smoke from the exhaust, I can grab the upper radiator hose and squeeze it.
