RE: Rads, trans coolers,temp?

[SB <polecat2@xxxxxxxx>]

I always try the cheap and simple fixes first.  I got a hot running 
Mopar to cool down by switching to a smaller water pump pulley, as per 
Don Dulmage.  Worked like a charm, and got the pulley for free.

Amazingly, I have also cooled hot-running Mopars over the years by 
installing a 16 lb radiator cap, and nothing more.  This only worked on 
two or three cars, but when it worked it completely solved the problem.  
Cost about six bucks each time.

I think fan shrouds are effective.  What car manufacturer didn't use 
them?  I have found they help the most when I also seal the radiator to 
the support and the hood, as Chrysler often did with A/C cars.  You want 
as much incoming air as possible forced through the radiator, as you all 
know.
