An opposite rotation electric mounted on the outside of the radiator?

Wish I did. I've wondered before myself. Got a "high flow" style here for a /6 that I can't use for it. (Won't fit the /6 head) But have some v8s here that I'll use it in instead.

You're looking to set this up backwards. You don't size a thermostat to go with whatever switch you have, you buy the switch based on what thermostat you use. Id never run a 160 stat in anything

I've used a couple of flow Kooler ones and so far so good. I made the mistake of replacing the original 8 vane wp on my 78 318 with a 6 vane version and right away I noticed that my engine was running noticeably hotter as soon as I bolted the 6 vane version on and filled it up. I then re...

I'm fuzzy on a bodies particularly, but what's the advantage of an aftermarket system vs retrofitting your car with parts from a car originally equipped with factory AC? I've never dealt with an aftermarket ac system besides a couple of "dealer installed" retrofits that were already in place...

This on our recently gotten Durango. My wife drove it to work yesterday and on the way home the blower motor started making a helluva noise. I get the keys and go chk it out, it's a vibration and rumble like I've never seen a blower motor make. It sounded like something was self destructing...

If aftermarket much prefer mechanical gauges, over electric ones

I wanted to try putting the sensor bulb for a mechanical water temp gauge in the block drain on an 01 360 mag, this engine is still in something that came with the EFI, beer barrel intake and all .. In this case I ran across a different reason it wouldn't work/I dunno what year they moved the...

Once the fan is on and the hose you won't see those numbers anyway

One of the 3 heater boxes 1 that I had ended up as a "donor" heater box, between the 3 of them I have just enough good usable parts to get 2 good functional clean and leak free units. Between the 3 that I had, 1 had a cracked box from rough handling/disassembly, 1 had a cracked top around a...

I ALWAYS prefer copper over aluminum for radiators, heater cores etc. Especially if the aluminum is capped by plastic tanks. When I redid the heater box for my D150 (put factory ac plenum in place of factory non ac system) I couldn't find copper, American or Canada made replacement / so since I...

Lots of 318s came with solid fans. My 78 fury is among them. And looking in the FSM for that car, it even lists that as an option on some. Do I like it? no. But that's how some came from the factory.

On my 78 Fury,I had to replace the water pump a few years ago, under 50k miles "first time around" the odometer. Age got it not miles. Anyway the first thing I noticed when I took the original one off and took the replacement out of the box was that the original had 8 vanes, the replacement had...

A few years ago I had to replace the heater cores in both of my Dakotas within a few months of each other. You know the old, "replace everything while you're in there" thing..... Well I didn't care about the AC on the 92 as the compressor was shot anyway.... It was basically an idler for the...

I'd go with the 134 for freon. On the expansion valve setup most moparts used that setup, there were a few that didn't, but they are much newer. Cars like the 2010s avenger and I believe some of the 97-02 trucks used orifice tubes but we're "captured" meaning that to replace the tube, you had...

Im putting "factory" ac on an 85 D150 that originally came without ac as we speak. Junkyard, swap meets, craigslist, and ebay have been my go to's. I still need a condenser and a drier, but the ac part of the project is on hold because of some needed bodywork I have to do before I put the ac...

Really?

No upholstery shop in the area. Tried hobby lobby and nothing. Lowe's, Menards, 2 different mom and pop hardware stores, zip. I ended up going with something from McMaster Carr, $77 for 2, 12x12 squares, $10.some of that is shipping,.... Ridiculous for as little as foam weighs.... But got tired...

Ive been trying to decide on something based on what I'm looking at from mc master carr. They ship real quick, and have always done me good, just they have too many to pick from . I have the door in my hand with a tape measure it is 1/4" on each side of the metal core door in the unworn section.

Doesn't need to be "concours" by any stretch. Just needs to work. This foam is hardly seen, especially when it's in "max" a/c position. When in regular a/c position and maybe for "heat"/"vent" /"defrost" might be slightly visible thru the grate in the plenum at the far passenger side. Never...

Yup. Flat foam about 1/4 - 5/16 thick. I already have a spray can of that glue .. use it all the time around here for different things

What hardware store foam? The 1" wide stuff? I just got back from Menards they didn't have anything wide enough to cover this door. Anybody familiar with Reflectix? I do have a partial roll of that here from a past project

I GOT a "MEGA" HEATER KIT FROM DMT for this truck already, their site specifically says they don't carry a kit for the doors within. Says he gets asked this all the time. Right in the site with the description of what does come in the kit.. For $80 though you'd think that would be enough...

I have a Mopar on for the recirc door 4163715 in case someone might have one (or 2!!!!) laying around collecting dust????

Working on my 85 d150. Adding ac to a truck that came from the factory without. I have 3 factory ac plenum boxes apart. All have bad foam on the recirc door. Other doors within are fine. I found a PN for the original recirc door, but every place I look it shows "discontinued". What kind of...

Ok next question What is the white pastey grease they use with the capillary tube where it piggybacks the main line set?

Have to pop the CD I have of the factory service manual back in the computer when I get home, I thought it showed both the low pressure cutoff switch and the cycling switch on that one.

This isn't an a body but I typically get better results here, there aren't any D150 sites that compare to what this site is to an A body.... I'm adding factory AC yan 85 D150. I have most all the parts off of multiple donors of 80s factory ac equipped trucks. Just missing a few things, have...

I thought there was a sanden that was the same as the c171 mount wise and hose wise. Though "most" besides the c171 that I see only have 1 port each for suction and discharge, not 2 ea/ like factory Mopar c171s did. I had a 83 d250 (never was a /6 truck) that had "dealer air" and it had the...

Re read what I the guy above me had written. I quoted the guy and eliminated all of what he wrote before and after that statement, in my post. I know they never put that engine in those cars. It surprised me to see someone post that, I was just making light of it.
