    I need some advice.
    My 94 lebaron convertible (3.0 V-6) was losing water I changed the water
    pump (complete both front and back from Mopar) and replaced the water tube
    in the V of the block. When i did this Zi found a previous owner had taken
    out the thermostat...i replaced it as well. The car runs very nice and on
    temp most of the time except when the ac is running. Im thinking the
    electric fan isnt pulling enough air...I have plenty of water and coolant.

    All suggestions would be appreciated

    thanks

  2. I assume this stopped the water leak?

    When you had the coolant drained did you throughly flush the system
    including
    the radiator? There are of course, power flushers, but a garden hose
    running full
    can backflush a cooling system and radiator if you flush them separately.

    One thing that happens with slow coolant leakers and lazy owners (like the
    prior owner) is instead of putting in a 50-50 mix of antifreeze and water
    when
    the coolant level is low, they just keep topping off with plain water.
    After a
    while there isn't enough antifreeze left in the system to carry enough of
    the
    rust preventatives, and the system starts to rust internally, and all the
    rust
    flakes off and settles in the low spots in the system and it starts getting
    plugged
    up.

  3. Check to make sure that the electric radiator/condenser fan comes on *each
    and every time* the A/C compressor cycles on. If not, find and fix the
    circuitry problem.
