My first thought is to re-core. Was the radiator cooling well? Is the core bad or maybe just a seam in need of re-soldering? I have had several re-core jobs done with excelent results in all cases. I have usually added an extra row of tubes when "in the business", just for insurance. Lindsay

While I am familiar with the term "rodding" a radiator, I've never seen it done. What does the tool look like? Is it an actual rod, or a type of brush, or what? Thanks Lindsay

Not to start an argument, but why do you say this? Thanks. Lindsay

Notice that the loop (circled in yellow) is kinked closed. If these are connected and allowed to flow free, it will/can rob flow in the cooling system and can lead to overheating. DAHIK Lindsay

If you were satisfied with that shroud for 9 years, maybe you can repair it. First, why did it "melt"? Is this the result of another problem? Is it actally melted or warped? Regardless, could you straighten it ,perhaps while still attached to the rad (for support and shape reference), using a...

There is no water control valve. Temperature is contrplled via a damper in the heater box. If you have not already downloaded a FSM and parts book, they are both available for free download @mymopar.com . Personaly, I have paper copies of these, but find the downloaded versions very useful. Some...

The word "permanant", in this situation, refers to the fact that Ma Mopar was filling our cooling systems with glycol based coolant. In years prior, antifreeze was alcohol based. The alcohol would boil out and leave the system unprotected. Glycol does not boil out and is therefore "permanant"...

I have had good success with adding an extra row of tubes in the rad core. This adds cooling surface and allows more time for the coolant to cool. If flow remains constant through the engine, then the extra row of tubes allows the flow in the tubes to slow. More time in the tubes= more temp...

Thanks! As to your #2, I agree that it probably was "done right"- they didn't try to just mak it look good- no paint at all!! LC

I bought my 66 Fury in 1991. The PO gave me a spare water pump he had.The car had been stored for 8 years. The pump appeared to be rebuilt and never used- the seal and impeller looked new. I installed this pump in 2018 when the seal failed in the old pump. The pump is working perfectly, but it...

My vote is for a recore. I've had at least a half dozen over the years and zero problems. Consider adding an extra row of tubes for good measure. well worth the expense IMHO.
