Re: [Chrysler300] over heating 392

Hi David
How come you're not running a thermostat? With a thermostat installed, would
it allow the water a little more time in the radiator to cool down rather
than having the water circulate through the motor
continuously...........possibly preventing the overheating problem?

Not sure if I'm correct here or not......anyone else agree/disagree?
