Hi I am new to the news DML Digest, but have been
reading it for several months. I would like to give a
little praise to both the DML and my dealership for my
recent service. I got my recall notice and after
reading the DML members who had treppidations about
what was done, I made sure that befor I took my DAK in
that I marked certain areas so that I could tell if
the service was really performed. It was and as a
matter of fact the braking is much better, as they
bled the entire system, and reajusted everything. Now
as to praise you people of the DML. I had the rattles
and pops that had been discussed by the membership,
and upon telling my service rep that I saw the
possible causes on the DML, he did not hesitate on
writing down these as the source of the problems. They
replaced my cat, and tightened up a mess of bolts in
my suspension. It feels like the day I drove it off
the lot. My dealer is Tempelton Dodge in Tysons Corner
(Vienna) Virginia.

180 Thermostat & 4.7LI finally got around to putting
in that 180 thermostatin my '00 4.7 Club cab. After a
relatively easy timeremoving the 2 8mm bolts on the
housing, and leavingthe hose attached, it all came out
smoothly. As wasposted earlier, you have to notch the
thermostat toaccomodate a "bump in the inner groove of
the gasket. Also i drilled a small hole in the
thermostat itselfin a spot corresponding to the check
ball hole in theold gasket. It all went back smoothly
and I toppedoff the fluid and threw in a bottle of
RedLine waterwetter and warmed her up. It felt more
powerful inall respects after warm up. Tried to be as
objectiveas my seat of the pants driving would allow.
Justfelt like someone gave me about 10 horsepower!!!
Drove it this morning and this afternoon and now I
amthoroughly convinced it 's the real deal!!! Just

Quiktruk99@aol.comSubject: DML: Polished Magnum V.C.
installSpent a couple of hours putting on the new
covers today, and boy, do they look great! Old ones
came off fairly easy, just grabbed all the loom trees
with pliers and yanked 'em out, only buster was the
back upper stud on drivers side, loom tab did NOT want
to come off, so I broke it off, since I wasn't
re-using the tabs anyway. 11mm socket took care of the
bolts & studs. Wrestled 'em out without removing
anything but the PCV & brake booster hoses. Gaskets
pulled right off intact. Replaced the vaccum plug on
the small nipple under the PCV one on the right side,
as the factory one had stretched & was dripping
oil.Didn't use the grommet for the 2nd oil filler
hole, went & bought a cap at K-Mart, so now I have a
filler cap on each side. Right side PCV relocates to
the front on the Magnum covers, but just flipped the
hose around & it reaches. Replaced all the loom trees
with Moroso wire separators, used only one old stud
(for the heater hose holder) and RTV'd the grommets
for the PCV & breather onto the covers. Used GunTite
loctite on the baffle screws, hope that holds. Fired
it up, and NO LEAKS! They seem to quiet the engine
down a bit, maybe the thicker aluminum. Didn't bother
with the 3923s, gonna wait 'til I get some s/s braided
plug wires to go with my shiny new covers.

100%... I have had 2 Jensen amps for my first system,

For subs alone I have had a Kraco 10, 2 no-name 8's, a
