I have heat issues.. on a hot summer day i need to drive with ease.. or it will throw some water out the radiator hose.
Its always been like this since i got it 5 years ago, but this year its worse. The weather is not warmer either..

Last week i changed the coolant, it was a bit dirty and i think it helped a little.
The radiator is the original 22' inch and looks bad inside. Tried to clean it, but it didnt help much.

Today i changed the waterpump house and waterpump wich i got from 440source, i hope this will help some until i get a new aluminium radiator.

Its nice to work on the car and do this kind of uppgrades.
-Sorry for my english, trying my best without any help from google.

You may want to read this topic tread about overheating, the 440source water pump and housing are a poor design, I recently discovered this myself, based on the information here.

If the radiator looks bad, it may need to be replaced as well. I have a 22" one too, I got a Champion radiator that fit my budget and has worked for me so far. Good luck!

The 440 source pump & housing is VERY old info that they corrected the casting 8,10 years ago.

To be fair your English is better than most on here!

.....That is funny, sad and true all at the same time.

If we could only get people to understand these main grammar miscues:

1. There, Their, They're
2. Then, Than
3. Two, Too, To, 2
4. Would've (would have) instead of would of.


Another major plus, although not grammar related, is to get people to take sideways(landscape) picture/videos.

Yes. I agree. Vertical/Portrait format sucks for anything but a picture of a person or a landmark like the Washington Monument or the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
Other mistakes:
For Sell.
For Sail.
Fore Sell.
I want to SALE this car.
Needs restored.
This site has some decent spelling and grammar compared to another forum I frequent...One that caters to the Darts, Dusters and Valiants. GREAT people there but some really slept through their schooling!

You missed out my favourite and one of the most common speeling misstacks on here! Breaks instead of brakes...as in discs and drums etc!

Instead of grammar and spell check how about etiquette. The topic is about Chargers.

Finally got the 15 x 8 Ram Charger wheels painted to match the car and 255/60-R15's mounted. Drives like a different vehicle compared to the bias ply redlines. Now has the 60's stock car appearance I was looking for. Matching the paint for the rims to the 37 year old paint on the body was a bit of challenge. An optical scan for a paint formula finally did the trick. I am quite pleased with the results.
You know you are vintage when someone says, "Back in the day", and you can dispute their facts.

Who in their right mind would say

"The science should not stand in the way of this."? 

Science is just observation and hypothesis.  Policy stands in the way.........

Or maybe it protects us. 

I suppose it depends on the specific case.....

Swapped the 3.54 for a 4.10.   

Needed to swap diff shims but had no press to install bearings.  This worked nice  :coolgleamA:

Took it to the "Last Cruise at Dukes".  Duke's is a legendary car cruising spot in Bridgeview, IL (SW suburb of Chicago).  It was a blast.  HUNDREDS of cars flooded the area last weekend.

It must have been a great car show to see newer Rams and New Chargers and Challengers there. :brickwall:
That is why I don't bother. Either way, glad you a good time. Honestly.  :2thumbs:

I truly believe that it is the love of your car. So bring what ever you have to a car show. I like the nice cars. Work in progress cars are great to see. You get to see how people do different things. Other people think those cars shouldn't be aloud at car shows. A lot of people do not realize this is how the nice cars start.

Ghoste

I agree.  Too many car show snobs out there and a lot of times all it does is to discourage people from the hobby.

 Car shows should be for Classic cars. (30 plus)  :Twocents:
