Don't know wtf happened today but my husband is now telling me this is why mopar is better then my F...ing Obvisous Retarded Decision that left me Found On Road Dead. What an ***(lol) Any suggestions??

Welcome to MF. With the smoke and burning smell of plastic, my guess is the radiator fan motor went. That would also explain the car overheating. Check and see if the fan motor runs.

Check the wires goin to the fan. But even if the fan is not working it would only over heat while idleing or driving slow. Driving down the highway at 55 there should be enough airflow over the radiator that the fan wouldnt be needed.
Take your husbands credit card and buy all new stuff then you wont be left with
Mostly Old Parts And Rust....lol

Thanks guys so I had to order a new motor and fan blade the plastic blade melted onto the post of the motor. Also melted the casing of the wiring harness. Luckily I know how to do wiring work and pep boys had both the fan and motor in stock. It will be nice to get her up and running today.
