[Chrysler300] thermostat w a/c on a 413

[Doug Mayer <mobydoug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I had a thermostat never open on an L, with A/C.  It blew the lower  
hose off at the water pump, so I drove dry 'til funny noises and smells.
Got it to a cruise-in location, let it cool.
The coupling that holds the thermostat can be removed w/o messing with  
the A/C unit--you just put on and take off the 7/16ths open ended  
wrench a lot.
Much jiggling will allow you to get the bolts out, and the cover and  
thermostat off and out.

I had a carquest brand in there, and replaced it with a NAPA w/ a  
little hole in the plate, which encourages fluid movement and opening.
Undertaking this chore w/o removing the A/C is a patience builder  
which will make you a better person.
