Re: [Chrysler300] Help re recoring rad for 62 300

[Ray Jones <hurst300@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

What's really important is flow rate.
Size dosen't matter as much as how fast the coolant goes thru the rad. Too
fast and it dosen't shed the heat, leading to overheating. Some of the rate
is controlled by the thermostat, as well as the pump. But the rad itself is
an issue also.
So ask about flow rate at the shop.
