All applications have a fan shroud, automatic trans mission oil cooler and air seals.</font></p> <p>The Maximum Engine Cooling system consists of a greater heat-transfer ability radiator, oil-to-air transmission oil cooler in addition to oil-to-water.</font></p> <p>A Coolant Reserve System is used on all models to provide reserve volume for normal losses plus adequate volume expansion for the coolant when hot. The reserve tank stores coolant and provides a convenient method for visually check ing level and adding coolant when needed with out removing the radiator cap.</font></p> <p>All Chrysler-built rear wheel drive vehicles provide cooling system corrosion protection with antifreeze to -35�F (-37�C) at time of manufacture. It is recommended that the coolant be changed initially after 3 years or 52,500 miles, (84,000 km,) and then every 2 years or 30,000 miles (48,280 km) to insure adequate protection (also, add soluble oil, 1/4 of 1% by volume on change). All vehicles must be protected at all times by coolant concentration of 50% minimum and 65% maximum (Glycol) for boil protection in warm climates and freeze protection in cold climates.</font></p> <p>Mopar, Prestone II, PEAK, or antifreeze containing Alugard 340-2 corrosion inhibiters required with materials used in the cooling system.</font></p> <p><b>CAUTION: AVOID MIXING BRANDS.</b></font></p> <p><b>Air Seals<br> </b>Most models are equipped with air seals. These seals are designed to direct fresh air through the radiator and to prevent hot recirculating air from going through the radiator a second time. These seals are required to prevent overheating under some operating conditions, excessive air conditioning head pressures, poor air conditioning performance and excessive temperature of several under hood components which affects their endurance life. It is therefore important to maintain these seals in their proper attachment. When seals are removed for other reasons, they should be replaced in proper position. Seals should be so positioned that they <b> do not</b> touch exhaust manifold.</font></p> <p><font color="#FFFF00">PRELIMINARY ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEAT DIAGNOSIS<br> Establish what �driving� conditions cause the cooling system complaint, such as:<br> 1. AFTER PROLONGED IDLE, HIGH AMBIENTS, A/C SYSTEM ON, SLOW TRAFFIC, TRAFFIC JAMS, AFTER HIGH SPEED:<br> Consider idle duration, see owners manual: �Starting Procedure� section for engine idle duration. Driving techniques that avoid overheating in slow traffic and in traffic jams.<br> (a) Idle with A/C off as much as possible.<br> (b) Increase engine speed temporarily for more air flow and coolant flow.<br> 2. TRAILER TOWING:<br> Consult owner�s manual�Trailer Towing.<br> 3. AIR CONDITIONING: ADD-ON or AFTER MARKET:<br> A maximum cooling package should have been ordered with the vehicle if add-on or after market A/C is involved. If not, maximum cooling components should be installed for the model involved per manufacturer�s specifications.<br> Further diagnostic checks should not be required.<br> 4. RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:<br> Determine if any recent service has been performed on the vehicle that may affect the cooling system such as engine adjustment (wrong timing), brakes (possibly dragging), changed parts (possibly wrong), recored radiator or cooling system refilling (possibly over-filled or trapped air).<br> If investigation reveals none of the above as cause for overheating complaint refer to the following symptoms chart.<br> SYMPTOM and ACTION<br> (See Preliminary Chart FIRST)<br> Glowing Engine Warning Light Normal with temporary operation with heavy load, towing a light trailer, high or High Gage Indication�Without outdoor temperatures, and/or on a steep grade.<br> Coolant Loss Consult �Engine Overheating Diagnosis� if none of the following conditions exist.<br> �Gage or Sending Unit Faulty.

Either the Borrough�s gauge or torque methods can be used. The preferred method is to use the Borrough�s gauge since it will provide more accurate results.</font></p> <p><b>Borrough�s Gauge Method<br> </b>The belts may be adjusted by measuring the tension of the belts with a Borrough�s gauge. Check the tension of the belt in the middle of the span between the two pulleys (arrows Fig.<a href="image/working/0701.jpg">1</a>) with Tool C-4162. The correct tension is 120 lbs. (530 N) on a new belt and 70 lbs. (310 N) on a used belt. A belt is considered used after 15 minutes of running time. Belt tension must be read on the gauge after tension has been ap plied to the accessory and mounting bolts tightened to the specified torque.</font></p> <p><a href="image/working/0701.jpg"><img border="0" src="image/0701_small.jpg" alt="FIG. 1 - Accessory Belt Drives, Points of Measuring Deflection" width="100" height="110"></a></p> <p><b>Torque Method<br> </b>Some belts may be adjusted to the specified tension by use of a torque wrench. Alternator belts are adjusted by using Tool C-3841A. The tool should be hooked at the heavily ribbed section of the alternator to prevent damage. Other accessory belts may be tightened with a torque wrench using the square holes in the brackets.</font></p> <p>To tighten belts by the torque method, loosen all adjustment bolts and apply specified torque to the accessory (see Specifications). Initial orientation of the torque wrench should be approximately vertical to obtain proper tension unless otherwise specified. Tighten all adjustment bolts while torque is applied to the accessory. Use an extension where it is required to obtain clearance for the torque wrench.</font></p> <p><b>CAUTION: Do not run engine when making belt adjustment.</b></font></p> <p><b>Accessory Tensioning<br> </b>Prior to tensioning any accessory, all bolts for sliding or pivoting adjustment for that accessory should be loosened. Bolts should be tightened to proper torque while tension is applied to the accessory. It may be necessary to repeat this procedure several times to obtain the proper belt tension.</font></p> <p>On power steering pumps, tensioning is accomplished by inserting a 1/2 inch drive torque wrench into the square hole and rotating until proper belt tension is obtained.</font></p> <p><b>CAUTION: To prevent damage to power steering pump, do not pry against pump.</b></font></p> <p>Alternator belts may be tensioned by carefully placing a bar between the alternator brackets and alternator and applying tension on the alternator housing.</font></p> <p><b>CAUTION: When applying tension with a bar, special precautions must be taken to prevent damage to the alternator. The bar should contact the center of the alternator housing at the stator support.</b></font></p> <p>Air pumps are tensioned by pulling on the pump by hand.</font></p> <p><b>CAUTION: To prevent damage to the air pump, do not use a bar to tension the belt.</b></font></p> <p>Air conditioning compressor belts are tensioned at the alternator.</font></p> <p><b><a name="CAP">RADIATOR</a> PRESSURE CAP</b> (Fig. <a href="image/working/0702.jpg">2</a>)</font></p> <p>Radiators are equipped with a 14-18 psi (97-124 kPa) pressure cap as standard equipment on all models.</font></p> <p><a href="image/working/0702.jpg"><img border="0" src="image/0702_small.jpg" alt="FIG. 2 - Radiator Pressure Cap, Filler Neck" width="100" height="67"></a></p> <p>The system can operate at higher than atmospheric pressure which raises the coolant boiling point allowing increased radiator cooling capacity. The cap contains a pressure relief spring loaded valve that opens when the pressure exceeds 14-18 psi (89-124 kPa) (Fig. <a href="image/working/0702.jpg">2</a>). There is also a vent valve in the center of the cap that allows a small flow through the cap when below boiling temperature but is closed by an increase in flow as the boiling point is reached.</font></p> <p>This valve also opens when coolant is cooling and contracting allowing coolant to return to radiator from coolant reserve system tank by vacuum through connecting hose. If valve is stuck shut the radiator hose will be observed collapsed on cool down. Clean the vent valve (Fig. <a href="image/working/0702.jpg">2</a>) to ensure proper sealing when boil point is reached.</font></p> <p>There is also a gasket in the cap to seal to the top of the filler neck so that vacuum can be maintained for drawing coolant back into the radiator from the coolant reserve tank.</font></p> <p><b>WARNING: THE WARNING WORDS �DO NOT OPEN HOT� ON THE RADIATOR PRESSURE CAP IS A SAFETY PRECAUTION. WHEN HOT, PRESSURE BUILDS UP IN COOLING SYSTEM. TO PREVENT SCALDING OR INJURY, THE RADIATOR CAP SHOULD NOT BE REMOVED WHILE THE SYSTEM IS HOT AND/OR UNDER PRESSURE.</b></font></p> <p>There is no need to remove the radiator cap at any time <b> except</b> for the following purposes:<br> (1) Check antifreeze freeze point.<br> (2) Add antifreeze to lower freeze point.<br> (3) Refill system with new antifreeze.<br> (4) Conducting service procedures.<br> (5) Checking for vacuum leaks.</font></p> <p><b>WARNING: IF VEHICLE HAS BEEN RUN RECENTLY, WAIT 15 MINUTES BEFORE REMOVING CAP, THEN PLACE A RAG OVER THE CAP AND TURN IT TO THE FIRST STOP.

The plastic tank has a filler opening and a cap and an overflow open to the atmosphere, With this system the radiator is normally completely full. When coolant in the engine expands and is forced out of the radiator, it overflows into the reserve tank. When the engine cools down the coolant contracts and vacuum draws coolant from the reserve tank back into the radiator thus keeping it full.</font></p> <p><b>Testing Coolant Reserve System<br> </b>With coolant in the reserve tank at the proper level and radiator cap installed, open the radiator drain cock. Coolant should be drawn from the reserve tank into the radiator. Do not leave drain cock open to drain reserve tank and allow air into system. If test does not draw coolant from the reserve tank, check for plugged coolant reserve tank nipple, kinked overflow hose and for leaks at the radiator filler neck and overflow nipple, radiator cap and reserve tank tube.</font></p> <p>It may be necessary to pressure test the radiator cap and cooling system to locate a leak. The upper gasket seal can be checked by removing the hose at the filler neck. Pump air into the cooling system. The top seal in the pressure cap should relieve at 10 to 18 psig (16-124 kPa) and hold at 8 psig (55 kPa) minimum.</font></p> <p><b>Checking Coolant Level<br> </b>Do not remove radiator cap for routine coolant level inspection.<br> The coolant reserve system provides a quick visual method for determining that the coolant level is adequate. Simply observe, with the engine idling and warmed up to normal operating temperature, that the level of the coolant in the plastic reserve tank is between the minimum and maximum marks. When additional coolant is needed to maintain this level it should be added to the plastic reserve tank. Use concentration of 50% minimum and 65% maximum ethylene glycol type antifreeze such as Mopar, Prestone II, Peak or those formulated with Alugard 340-2 and water. Antifreeze should be provided for and checked in both the radiator and the reserve tank.</font></p> <p><b>Refilling system<br> </b>Add antifreeze coolant (not less than 50% concentration, described in �Checking Coolant Level�) to the radiator until completely full. Start engine and run until the upper radiator hose feels hot. Stop engine and add more coolant, if necessary, to completely fill radiator. Add antifreeze coolant to the reserve tank up to a level between the max. and mm. marks. To maintain this level, it may be necessary to add coolant to the reserve tank after two or three warm-ups because air is generally trapped in the cooling system as the system is filled. Be sure that the heater valve is in the wide-open position when refilling the cooling system. Antifreeze protection should be checked after mixing.</font></p> <p><b><a name="TESTCAP">PRESSURE</a> TESTING RADIATOR CAPS</b></font></p> <p>Dip the pressure cap in water and apply cap to end of tool. Working the plunger, as shown in (Fig. <a href="image/working/0704.jpg">4</a>) bring the pressure to 15 pounds (104 kPa) on the gauge. If the pressure cap fails to hold pressure of at least 14 pounds (97 kPa), clean any deposits on the sealing surface of the vent valve and retest before replacing.</font></p> <p><a href="image/working/0704.jpg"><img border="0" src="image/0704_small.jpg" alt="FIG. 4 - Pressure Testing Radiator Cap" width="100" height="116"></a></p> <p><b>CAUTION: Tool C-4080 is very sensitive to small air leaks which will not cause cooling system problems. A pressure cap that does not have a history of coolant loss should not be replaced just because it leaks slowly when tested with this tool. Add water to the tool, turn tool upside down and recheck pressure cap to confirm that cap is bad.</b></font></p> <p>Replace cap if it fails to hold pressure. If the pressure cap tests properly while positioned on Tool C-4080, but will not hold pressure or vacuum when positioned on the radiator, inspect the radiator filler neck for irregularities that may prevent the cap from sealing properly.</font></p> <p>The vent valve at the bottom of the cap should hang freely. If the rubber gasket has swollen and prevents the valve from hanging loosely, replace the cap. Hold a cleaned cap in hand upside down. If any light can be seen between vent valve and rubber gasket replace cap. <b> Do not use a replacement cap without this vent valve that hangs freely.</b></font></p> <p>Replacement cap must be of the type designed for coolant reserve system with a completely sealed diaphragm, spring and a rubber gasket to seal filler neck.

The unit allows fan to be driven in normal manner at low speeds<br> while limiting the top speed of the fan to a pre determined level at higher engine speeds. A thermostatic spring is on the front face. This thermostat senses temperature from the radiator discharge air and engages the drive for higher fan speed if temperature from the radiator rises above a certain point. </font></p> <p><a href="image/working/0709.jpg"><img border="0" src="image/0709_small.jpg" alt="FIG. 9 - Fluid Fan Drive (Cast Cover)" width="100" height="111"></a> <a href="image/working/0710.jpg"><img border="0" src="image/0710_small.jpg" alt="FIG. 10 - Fluid Fan Drive (Stamped Cover)" width="100" height="96"></a></p> <p><b>Testing Thermal Control Drive<br> </b> In case of engine overheating, the thermal control drive can be checked for operation by observing movement of the spring and shaft.

The bi-metal coil on the face of the viscous fan clutch senses the temperature of the air passing through the radiator core. Until engine cooling is called for, the fan will idle along at a reduced speed despite elevated engine speed. Only when sufficient heat is present in the radiator core, to cause a reaction of the bi-metal sensing coil, will the viscous fan clutch engage and come up in speed to perform the necessary engine cooling. All viscous fan clutches are calibrated to operate to pre-set maximum speed limitations as determined by the torque generated by the fan used with it. Once that maximum fan speed has been reached the fan will not turn faster despite increased engine speed. When the necessary engine cooling has been accomplished and the level of heat passing through the radiator core has been reduced, the bi-metal coil again reacts and the fan speed reduces to the previous disengaged condition. </font></p> <p>To check the function of the viscous fan clutch on a vehicle with an overheating complaint, it is necessary to follow these steps: </font></p> <p>(1) Prepare car for test as follows: (Ambient temperature above 70�F (21�C).<br> (a) Drill a 1/8� (3 mm) diameter hole in top center of shroud between leading edge of fan and radiator core face. Insert a dial thermometer (Tool C-4347, 0-220�F 8� (203 mm) stem or equivalent) through shroud. Take <b> Caution</b> that fan clearance is adequate.<br> (b) Install Engine Tachometer and engine ignition timing light, used as strobe light.<br> (c) Block Air Conditioning condenser with a plastic sheet-insert between vertical hood lock support and the air conditioning condenser. On non air conditioned models, block radiator air flow. Tape sheet at top to yoke and take care to insure good seal.<br> (2) Air Conditioning is to be <b> turned off</b> to prevent high compressor head pressures. Ambient temperature should be 70 �F (21�C) or more. With Air Conditioning on, high head pressure may blow Air Conditioning head gasket.<br> (3) Start engine and run test at 2400 rpm engine speed, with engine ignition timing light aimed at fan blade as strobe light.<br> (4) Within ten (10) minutes the air temperature measured on Dial Thermometer should reach maximum of 190�F (88�C). Satisfactory operation of drive requires that the fan drive engage before or at 190�F (88�C). Engagement is distinguish able by an <b> increase</b> in fan roar. Timing light will also show increase in speed of fan.<br> (5) When dial thermometer temperature reaches 190�F (88�C) remove plastic sheet from blocking air conditioning condenser or radiator. Satisfactory operation of drive requires temperature to drop 20�F (6.7�C) or more. Satisfactory operation of drive also requires that drive be heard to disengage. Timing light will show disengagement and a slowing down of the fan drive.<br> (6) Do not allow thermometer temperature above 200�F (93�C).<br> Since there is no method available to service the viscous fan drive, any unit determined to be defective must be replaced. </font></p> <p><b><a name="WATER">WATER</a> PUMP</b> </font></p> <p><b>Water Pump Flow Check<br> </b> A quick test to see if the heater warms properly will tell you whether or not the pump is working.
