Parts for 440 Dodge overheating	Bruce	8-16-01
I was having problems with my 440 Dodge running hot. I could not find the Stant thermostat that was recommended and found out it is no longer made. I did find that Mr. Gasket makes a Hi-Flow stat #4367 that any parts house should be able to get. I also replaced my water pump with a Miledon #Mil-16260 Hi-Flow pump, a reasonble $69 from Summit racing 1-800-230-3030. Replaced the flex fan with a fixed Mopar original fan and now run 180-190 range instead of 220+.

GOOD MOVE , those flex fans are there for drag racers that DONT want the load from the cooling fan and flatten out under load . Not what is wanted in a loaded RV slogging up a hill. Try using 70% distilled water and only 30% antifreez , if this will still give enough cold weather protection. Water cools much better than antifreez so the more water , better cooling. 30% antifreez is for the corrosion inhibitors ect in the antifreez. FAST FRED

I had the somewhat teh same problem in that my Travie was running over 200F, so I installed a four row radiator core, dumped the flexfan for a stock fan and thermo clutch from Dodge, and found that Discount Auto had a pump with the eight vane pump impeller for $14.95. It was a lot more vane area than what I removed. Does anyone know if the impellers are the same on the Miledon and the Discount Auto pumps? The engine is lots coller now, as I have to be going up a long grade to see 200F now, even with a 4,000 lb. toad.
