Cooling System: Description and Operation
COOLINGDESCRIPTION
Turbo
The cooling system consists of an engine cooling module, thermostat, coolant recovery/reserve system, coolant, and a water pump. The engine cooling module consists of a radiator (1), electric fan assembly, transmission oil cooler (3), charge air cooler (5), hoses, clamps, air conditioning condenser (2) and transmission oil lines. Turbocharged equipped vehicles utilize the radiator in-tank cooler for a power steering fluid cooler.
CLAMPS-HOSE
DESCRIPTION
The cooling system uses spring type hose clamps. If a spring type clamp replacement is necessary, replace with the original Mopar equipment spring type clamp.
CAUTION: A number or letter (1) is stamped into the tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement is necessary, use only a original equipment clamp with matching number or letter (1).
The spring type hose clamp applies constant tension on a hose connection. To remove a spring type hose clamp (2), use Special Tool 6094 (1) or 8495 (or equivalent), constant tension clamp pliers to compress the hose clamp.
