383 Cooling Problems - Solved

["Dennis C." <dennis.2914@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am seeing questions about cooling problems again now that we are back 
into Summer.

I did a long post months ago talking about everything I tried, water 
pump, shroud, thermostat and electric fan without any improvement.

I finally went to U.S. Radiator and bought a copper 4-row radiator from 
them that solved the problem.  I am running cool with a stock fan and 
without a shroud. I am running a 180 degree high flow thermostat. (I do 
not have A/C)

I live in Yuma where normal summer temperatures are 110+ in the summer.

The radiator I got from U.S. Radiator looks stock except it does not 
have the top tank Mopar part number or other data.

I am not suggesting this is the solution for anyone else but it did 
solve my problem.
