Question - is anyone out there actually overheating???
I put a 180 thermostat on my 97 318 to run a little quicker and
marginally reduce temps, but it never overheated, even with the stock
thermostat. I'm in Dallas - the other day it was 108 degrees - NOT a
humidity index either - ACTUAL 108 degrees - my truck never overheats,
even sitting on the freeway in stop and go for an hour or more.

I don't see how they WOULDN'T work. A heat sink (sp) HAS to help. I

From: Shaun.Hendricks@bergenbrunswig.com
Subject: DML: Oil Coolers
A "third party" unit is one that is not manufactured by the owner or the
original manufacturer: thus a "Third Party". Any aftermarket part that
isn't
mopar is considered third party unless you made it.
Now, there are oil coolers and variants which use an electric pump that
activates when you open the door to your car/truck. This starts the oil
flowing in the engine even before you turn the key. When you do turn the
key,
the engine is cranking at full pressure lubrication, and not from ZERO like
normal starts. When the oil pump in the engine reaches full pressure, the
electric one shuts down and sits in "bypass" until you turn off the motor.
When you shut off the motor it turns back on and circulates the oil in the
engine for a time that you determine (usually 15-20 minutes) which lets the
motor cool down better and more evenly. When this pump system is combined
with an oil cooler, it also cools your engine faster.
I've seen kits that feature just the pump system and the pump system plus
an oil cooler. I don't recall the price being hideous either. It's just
one
of those things that I think factory's should build into the engines but
don't.

Guys, I think you're paying for some of the components of the HD service

when you bought this neat little option:

one would think that 4x4's needed some of the same components just because

Last year I went into Jiffy Lube (yeah, I know.. but I was leaving on a trip
and didn't have time to do it myself) Anyway, I figured I'd just have them
flush & refill the Transmission with Synthetic while I was there. Well, the
Tech calls me over and says they don't want to do that, cause my Trans.
cooler has a slight leak where the line goes into the Trans "radiator", this
I found very interesting, since I had been thinking about adding an
aftermarket Trans Cooler. I was not aware that the truck had one. A few
months after that, my battery started to give the signs that it was on the
way out, got it tested & decided to replace instead of getting caught with a
dead one out in the woods, it had the 750 amp battery. I've recently checked
the Original sticker from my '95 V8 SLT - no mention of the HD service
group! Where/What is the power steering cooler?.... It would be kinda nice
to find out I ended up with the HD service group w/out having to pay for it!

Subject: DML: 4X4 question
Hi guys,
I have a question that I hope someone can answer for me. How many
kilometers or miles should a new 4X4 have put onto it, before you take it
through mud, rivers, and over rocks - a heavy duty offroad run?
Jason doesn't seem to know for sure as his 4X4 was purchased used and he
already had the mileage racked on. The dealership, doesn't have a clue, as
these people only own 4X4's as a symbol and never take them offroad. What a
waste!
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Norah

Robert,
What probably occured is an air pocket when they changed to coolant. All
the voids did not replenish when refilled. When the thermostat opens up,
the coolant in your reservoir is being siphoned into the cooling system
trying to fill this void. Once filled, you will not see a drop in the fluid
level. After your engine has cooled down, check the level in your radiator.
Once you don't feel any pressure on your top radiator hose, your safe
opening the pressure cap. If any doubt, wait until the engine is cold.
Top-off the radiator if necessary. You don't mention overheating, so your
fluid doesn't sound like it is dangerously low. Just keep tabs on the level
like you should do, normally.

Subject: DML: 180 Thermostat, low antifreeze?
I had my 180 thermostat put in an a radiator flush at the dealer, who I
trust and get a good deal from. I looked under the hood after I got
home, and had a full antifreeze reservoir. Days later, it was below
add. I added. I just looked again, after a while, and it's below add
again. I can't find a leak, there's never any antifreeze where I park.
Could it be burning off somehow? If my block is cracked or something,
its time to buy that Pacer down the road I've been looking at.
Hmmmm 360 R/T Pacer! Heck yes!

Same scenario John, this kid pulls up in a ferd 150 at the
stop light. The stereo is blasting and he starts reving his motor.
This action was bad enough but the stereo was the last straw. the
light turned green and my little 97 V6 tore down the road, getting
damn nice 2nd gear power scratch. 2 truck lengths and a stop light
later the F150 was mighty quiet.
Sure do miss that V6. The Ferds and Chebbies just aren't as

I had the same problem with my faceplate.
The number on my repair ticket was # 55055665AC.
That is for the switch and faceplate assembly.

The worst part was that I sent my dad out to both Autozone and Advance for
a regular gasket for the stat . He comes back and says that they didn't
have one for a 5.9 .
After calling their various family members names , I ended up making one .
I also asked him to get some plain old RTV (I like a thin coat) and he
comes back with the Super HEavy Duty Ultra Copper Blah Blah Blah RTV . I
guess my gasket won't leak now unless I get the coolant up to about the
same temp as the surface of the sun .

You know what they say about assumptions! I never drive through brush.
And I think that you can see the billet grille quite clearly.
Think a billet grille AND brush guard are overkill? I'm making an attempt
to join to opposing truck styling trends. Well maybe not, but I think it
looks good.

Subject: Re: DML: RE: Tranny/Engine Oil cooler
I would think it would cool a little bit but how much is what i was
wondering. Do you think it would be enough to make a difference? I do have
some cooling problems due the fact that my fan is about 2" smaller than the
stuck one due to my body lift. When 4wheelin' the temp gauge usually sits a
little above half and that damm clutch fan is always on. This is in about
80 degree weather without the ac on. I've got some water wetter in there
but it still climbs up there pretty quick and the fan wont go off for hours
even after it cools down. I can live with it but i'd if theres a quick
solution i'd like to do somthing about it...

There's a guy at the local track who has an earlier ('89, I think)
Dakota with a (pre-magnum) V6. He has 200,000 on his truck which
he races almost every wednesday night. Its gone through a rearend
and a tranny (tranny was only because a bushing wore out and it
destroyed itself), but he's never had any trouble from the engine,
just the normal wear items, oil changes, etc.
It *is* showing its age though and starting to slow down, but he's
got a 340 all set to drop in if the 6 kicks the bucket. :-)

Yep, I hear there's a twin turbocharged Shelby Dakota in the Shelby
museum. Also, there was an article recently in one of the Mopar
magazines about a guy who twin turbocharged a Baracuda. I think
he may have used a Magnum crate motor for that, but I don't remember.
It was the cover story; the car is blue. I can find the magazine at
home and tell you the exact magazine and issue if you're interested,
or I could scan it in and e-mail it to you or something.
