I'm not sure what part you think is going to crack? The black adapter? It's not welded, it's basically screwed together and sealed over the bead on the water neck with gaskets and RTV. See here for how it installs. Generally most all radiator water necks are either welded or brazed to the tank...

Barely... I look at it and think, OK I need to tackle this before it gets any worse but then I just don't. Bad! Thanks as always. My neighbor who like me is a car guy has been bugging the crap out of me about it. "Did you fire it up yet?? What are you waiting for??? Come on already!!" I get it...

OK first updates of the New Year. I have been getting some of the engine bay stuff completed a little at a time but things are moving along at a good pace. Feels like the point in a big puzzle where the pieces start falling into place a little easier than they did at the beginning. After a lot...

Like everything in modern life, selling parts is not the same as it was however many years ago. I usually do OK vending at Carlisle but that's a bit of a unique situation where people are (mostly) looking to buy. I bring things I believe people will be interested in and price them to sell. I...

The one that exploded on me had two tubes. One of the tubes was open at the bottom, but extended almost to the top of the tank. The other was shorter and was connected to the radiator overflow hose. The problem with the tubes is that they’re smaller inside diameter than the radiator outlet...

That's been my experience as well. Better safe than sorry though. I don't want to leave any coolant on the ground if I can help it. This is the aftermarket one I forgot that I had. The reason I remembered I had it is because there are two holes next to the radiator where it used to be. As soon...

Prof., thanks for all that but like I said in post #11 I'm going to stick with the smaller aftermarket one I already have. Years ago when I first bought my Duster it had the tank seen in the lower right of the pic below. I might still have that thing somewhere but even if I did it wouldn't go...

After working as a tech I really should know this stuff! I have not thought about cooling systems for what seems like years. Regardless, I think I got this straight now. The ones that are 'sealed' are probably better described as pressurized remote fill tanks. They have to be installed above the...

I need to get some sort of overflow tank for the cooling system on my Duster. These tanks get called all sort of things - coolant recovery, coolant expansion, catch can, puke tank, etc. I'm not 100% clear on what each style does. I also want to confirm how to set it up properly. My preference...

Thanks Joey!

Alright that did not go over well. I apologize if what I said upset some people. 3D printing and retrofit EFI probably do share some similarities. I can easily see Megasquirt DIY types in particular getting involved with 3D stuff. In my mind converting to EFI is more accessible to most...

I agree. Let’s be honest - 3D printing has very little if anything to do with performance and/or drivability. It’s a safe bet to say that putting your foot to the floor and having the engine and car do what it’s supposed to do is far more important and satisfying to car guys than making...

No argument here.

That might make sense eventually but for now the priority is to get the forum added.

Joey asked me to sell the idea to him so I did my best. I believe most of what I’ve already said here is valid. I truly believe that if we start a dedicated EFI forum it would be the only Mopar-specific one that I know of. I’m sure there would be a decent amount of Google search traffic from...
