RE: [Chrysler300] thermostats





Dave,

 

Rebuilt engines are tight and therefore tend to run hot, especially with your foot on the brake at a stop light.  I also expanded my radiator from 2 row.  With the old 383, no hot engine.  With the newly rebuilt 413 (0.040 over), I am running hot too.  I have only driven it about 5000 miles in the last 4 years since it was rebuilt.   I do not remember my new thermostat temperature, but it should open way before the temp gauge gets into the upper limit.

 

Regards,

Mark Lindahl

    question came up. I am running a 160 thermo with new 4 core set up.

Is there a difference running a 180, will the 180 close and reopen?

Should there be a 195?

 

And does the 4 core 64 have a 13 # cap?

 

What about the head gasket, as mentioned by another member?

Will check fluid level after cool down.

 

thanks,

Dave D.
