yes the stooooopid fan from the junkyard....the motor on it is crapping out so i need to throw my clutch fan back in till i can get a new fan, which wont be long i hope cause i like the efan, along with that im gonna order yes order my 180* stat cause noone locally carries it....the lady at napa said they dont offer it cause thats old school and the computer would shut my truck down if i let it run that cool....where the hell did she learn that....so i now have to wait...i hate waiting....friggen great start to the weekend...

 

Do you have any advance nearby, I know both napa and advance near me carry the 180-stat that fits most 4.7's, stant part number 45358 or napa number 530080.

 

ty for those numbers...

 

advance has it for 8.99

 

thanks again chambers i ran and grabbed one, at advance along with a gasket 1.99, a jug of a/f for 9.99 ( man that stuff went up since i last got some), and a tube of gasket maker for the housing, do i need this housing gasket maker ?....i dont want it leaking either....

 

Here is a link to the DIY I found those part numbers in http://www.*********.com/forums/showthread.php?t=262077 put "dodge talk" in w/ no spaces where the *'s are. You should drill a bleed hole in the new t-stat and make a notch for the gasket, it's explained in the DIY. It's a good cheap alternative to the Jet, throw it in some boiling water to make sure it opens before you put it in. You shouldn't need the gasket maker and should be able to reuse the gasket off the original t-stat. Good luck.

 

Kay thanks I'll have to check it out hopefully I can log in as I'm on temp vaca from there for stupiness

 

Don't expect NAPA to be even able to spell "truck". The one here wanted to tell me there was no 5.7L Hemi -- it's a 4.7L

 

We have a DIY in our FAQ section for the 180* t-stat install and another thread there with a bunch of brand and part #s for thermostats...

Is it definitely the used e-fan that is causing the issue?

 

yes hammer on the other site we are a member on "sem" i asked you about the fan there, i jumped out and it was off i spun it once and it started running so i think the truck moving makes it spin and helps it along....but anyway i may look into a new fan and want something i dont have to worry about and would like a local purchase got any ideas?.... i have a murrays speed and custom around me....
