you should put some info about swapping on a magnum head from an 01 RT in the performance section.

There is a how-to forum on here already, but you have to PM Amanda to get it posted I think. Right now there aren't any in there for neons, so maybe we should start getting some over there, and then I can post a sticky about it and link to the threads. What do y'all think?

RE: 1st gen faq's up top
it would be nice to have it, just as the recent added ones you've done, a lot of that probably has already answered questions that people are affraid to ask because of the repetiveness of the topic coming on after doing a search

OK, on the overheating issue, let's get some ideas. Possible problems are:

*Low coolant
*Defective radiator cap
*Clogged radiator
*Bad Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS)
*Bad thermostat
*Radiator fans not working properly
*Headgasket leaking

Anything else?

I will also note that coolant should be mixed 50/50 with DI water and NOT TAP WATER. Tap water will boil off and leave deposits in your radiator, that can lead to corrosion and/or clogging of the radiator.
