#18 of 66 Loosening fan clutch bolt by troll73 Sep 21, 2007 (6:33 pm)
Let's say i'm facing the front of the engine, with my wrench on the fan clutch bolt itself. Do I need to turn the wrench clockwise, or counterclockwise? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
#19 of 66 Thermostat by-pass hose by duffy65 Jan 15, 2008 (1:40 pm)
My 95 5.9 liter takes forever to warm up. I have replaced the thermostat 2 times with new. Has cummins thermostat in it now. Can I valve off the 1/4 inch by pass hose to keep water in the engine till the thermostat opens without doing damage?

Replying to: duffy65 (Jan 15, 2008 1:40 pm) My 96 Cummins also ran pretty cool in the winter, and never overheated in summer. Keep in mind, Dodge put a HUGE radiator in for the Cummins, same one they used with the V10. You may want to consider plugging in the block heater, or getting a winterfront for the grille.   kcram - Pickups Host Replies to this message: duffy65 (Jan 15, 2008 3:59 pm)

I have a full size 1990 dodge p/u with a 318. I changed the thermostat but still have a problem.   When I am driving at highway speeds the temp is normal and the heater blows hot air.   When I stop, it immediately goes almost all the way to the H and the heater starts blowing cold air. If a go back to highway speeds it reverts back to normal.   In town it is more hit and miss...it seemes to like not stop and go driving. I can't think of what else would cause both symptoms to occur.   Help the brain dead pls Replies to this message: titanium29 (Feb 21, 2008 3:22 pm)

Replying to: dshulters (Feb 20, 2008 5:28 pm) Water pump and/or plugged heater core/plugged radiator? When you fall back on the rpm's in city stop and go driving, it sounds like the hot water isn't getting pushed through your heater core and radiator. Sounds like either the water pump isn't pumping, or the water flow is impeded in the radiator or heater core...heater core would be my last bet, since it overheats...
