OPERATION
COOLING SYSTEM
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature. It allows the engine to reach normal operating temperature as quickly as possible. It also maintains normal operating temperature and prevents overheating.
The cooling system also provides a source of hot water (coolant) for heating the passenger compartment and cooling the automatic transmission fluid (if equipped). The cooling system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water
pump to circulate coolant throughout the system.
• When engine is cold the thermostat is closed. The cooling system has no flow through the radiator. The coolant flows through the engine, water pump, and heater.
• When engine is warm the thermostat is full open. The coolant flows through the engine, radiator, heater, and
water pump.
All engines utilize an ambient overflow bottle for coolant recovery/reserve.
An optional factory installed maximum duty cooling package is available on most models. This package will provide
additional cooling capacity for vehicles used under extreme conditions such as trailer towing in high ambient temperatures.
HOSE CLAMPS
The spring type hose clamp applies constant tension on a hose connection. To remove a spring type hose clamp,
only use constant tension clamp pliers designed to compress the hose clamp.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTICS (OBD)
COOLING SYSTEM RELATED DIAGNOSTICS
The Engine Control Module (ECM) has been programmed to monitor certain cooling system components:
• If the engine has remained cool for too long a period, such as with a stuck open thermostat, a Diagnostic
Trouble Code (DTC) can be set.
• If an open or shorted condition has developed in the electronically controlled viscous fan clutch circuit, a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) can be set.
• If fan speed is not detected a DTC will be set.
• Coolant temperature sensor circuit problems can set a DTC.
If the problem is sensed in a monitored circuit often enough to indicated an actual problem, a DTC is stored. The
DTC will be stored in the ECM memory for eventual display to the service technician. (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS
CONTROL - DESCRIPTION).
ACCESSING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES
To read DTC’s and to obtain cooling system data, (Refer to 25 - EMISSIONS CONTROL - DESCRIPTION).
ERASING TROUBLE CODES
After the problem has been repaired, use the DRBIIIT scan tool to erase a DTC. Refer to the appropriate Powertrain
Diagnostic Procedures service information for operation of the DRBIIIT scan tool.
COOLING SYSTEM - TESTING FOR LEAKS
ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT METHOD
A leak detection additive is available through the parts department that can be added to cooling system. The additive is highly visible under ultraviolet light (black light). Pour one ounce of additive into cooling system. Place heater
control unit in HEAT position. Start and operate the engine until the radiator upper hose is warm to the touch. Aim
the commercially available black light tool at the components to be checked. If leaks are present, the black light will
cause the additive to glow a bright green color.
The black light can be used in conjunction with a pressure tester to determine if any external leaks exist.
7 - 8COOLINGDR
PRESSURE TESTER METHOD
The engine should be at normal operating temperature. Recheck the system cold if the cause of coolant
loss is not located during the warm engine examination.
WARNING: HOT, PRESSURIZED COOLANT CAN
CAUSE INJURY BY SCALDING.
Carefully remove the radiator pressure cap from the
filler neck and check the coolant level. Push down on
the cap to disengage it from the stop tabs. Wipe the
inside of the filler neck and examine the lower inside
sealing seat for nicks, cracks, paint, dirt and solder
residue. Inspect the radiator-to- reserve/overflow tank
hose for internal obstructions. Insert a wire through
the hose to be sure it is not obstructed.
Inspect the cams on the outside of the filler neck. If
the cams are damaged, seating of the pressure cap
valve and tester seal will be affected.
Attach pressure tester (7700 or an equivalent) to radiator filler neck.
Operate the tester pump to apply 103.4 kPa (15 psi)
pressure to the system. If the hoses enlarge excessively or bulges while testing, replace as necessary. Observe the
gauge pointer and determine the condition of the cooling system according to following criteria:
Holds Steady: If the pointer remains steady for two minutes, serious coolant leaks are not present in system. However, there could be an internal leak that does not appear with normal system test pressure. If it is certain that
coolant is being lost and leaks cannot be detected, inspect for interior leakage or perform Internal Leakage Test.
Refer to INTERNAL LEAKAGE INSPECTION .
Drops Slowly: Indicates a small leak or seepage is occurring. Examine all of the connections for seepage or slight
leakage with a flashlight. Inspect the radiator, hoses, gasket edges and heater. Seal the small leak holes with a
Sealer Lubricant (or equivalent). Repair the leak holes and inspect the system again with pressure applied.
Drops Quickly: Indicates that serious leakage is occurring. Examine the system for external leakage. If leaks are
not visible, inspect for internal leakage. Large radiator leak holes should be repaired by a reputable radiator repair
shop.
INTERNAL LEAKAGE INSPECTION
Remove the engine oil pan drain plug and drain a small amount of engine oil. If coolant is present in the pan, it will
drain first because it is heavier than oil. An alternative method is to operate engine for a short period to churn the
oil. After this is done, remove the engine dipstick and inspect for water globules. Also inspect the transmission dipstick for water globules and transmission fluid cooler for leakage.
WARNING: WITH RADIATOR PRESSURE TESTER TOOL INSTALLED ON RADIATOR, DO NOT ALLOW PRESSURE TO EXCEED 145 kPa (21 PSI). PRESSURE WILL BUILD UP QUICKLY IF A COMBUSTION LEAK IS
PRESENT. TO RELEASE PRESSURE, ROCK TESTER FROM SIDE TO SIDE. WHEN REMOVING TESTER, DO
NOT TURN TESTER MORE THAN 1/2 TURN IF SYSTEM IS UNDER PRESSURE.
Operate the engine without the pressure cap on the radiator until the thermostat opens. Attach a Pressure Tester to
the filler neck. If pressure builds up quickly it indicates a combustion leak exists. This is usually the result of a
cylinder head gasket leak or crack in engine. Repair as necessary.
If there is not an immediate pressure increase, pump the Pressure Tester. Do this until indicated pressure is within
system range of 110 kPa (16 psi). Fluctuation of the gauge pointer indicates compression or combustion leakage
into cooling system.
Because the vehicle is equipped with a catalytic converter, do not short out cylinders to isolate compression leak.
DRCOOLING7 - 9
If the needle on dial of the pressure tester does not fluctuate, race engine a few times to check for an abnormal
amount of coolant or steam. This would be emitting from exhaust pipe. Coolant or steam from exhaust pipe may
indicate a faulty cylinder head gasket, cracked engine cylinder block or cylinder head.
A convenient check for exhaust gas leakage into cooling system is provided by a commercially available Block Leak
Check tool. Follow manufacturers instructions when using this product.
COMBUSTION LEAKAGE TEST - WITHOUT PRESSURE TESTER
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If the solution is clean, drain the coolant into a clean container for reuse.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE CYLINDER BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN RADIATOR DRAINCOCK WITH
SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
Drain sufficient coolant to allow thermostat removal. (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ENGINE/ENGINE COOLANT THERMOSTAT - REMOVAL). Remove accessory drive belt (Refer to 7 - COOLING/ACCESSORY DRIVE/DRIVE BELTS REMOVAL).
Add coolant to radiator to bring level to within 6.3 mm (1/4 in) of the top of the thermostat housing.
CAUTION: Avoid overheating. Do not operate engine for an excessive period of time. Open draincock immediately after test to eliminate boil over.
Start engine and accelerate rapidly three times, to approximately 3000 rpm while observing coolant. If internal
engine combustion gases are leaking into cooling system, bubbles will appear in coolant. If bubbles do not appear,
internal combustion gas leakage is not present.

PRELIMINARY CHECKS
ENGINE COOLING SYSTEM OVERHEATING
Establish what driving conditions caused the complaint. Abnormal loads on the cooling system such as the following
may be the cause:
• PROLONGED IDLE
• VERY HIGH AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
• SLIGHT TAIL WIND AT IDLE
• SLOW TRAFFIC
• TRAFFIC JAMS
• HIGH SPEED OR STEEP GRADES
Driving techniques that avoid overheating are:
• Idle with A/C off when temperature gauge is at end of normal range.
• Increasing engine speed up to 2000 rpm with transmission in park or neutral for more airflow is recommended.
TRAILER TOWING:
Consult Trailer Towing section of owners manual. Do not exceed limits.
RECENT SERVICE OR ACCIDENT REPAIR:
Determine if any recent service has been performed on vehicle that may affect the cooling system. This may be:
• Engine adjustments (incorrect timing)
• Slipping engine accessory drive belt(s)
• Brakes (possibly dragging)
• Changed parts. Incorrect water pump or pump rotating in wrong direction due to belt not correctly routed
• Reconditioned radiator or cooling system refilling (possibly under filled or air trapped in system).
• Service to electrically controlled viscous fan clutch
NOTE: If investigation reveals none of the previous items as a cause for an engine overheating complaint,

WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE RADIATOR CAP WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM HOT AND
UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT OR HIGH PRESSURE STEAM CAN OCCUR.
The coolant reserve/overflow system provides a quick method for determining the coolant level without removing the
radiator pressure cap. With the engine at normal operating temperature and idling, observe the level of the coolant
on the external level indicator on the side of the coolant reserve / overflow bottle. The coolant level should be
between the MIN and MAX marks. If the coolant is below the MIN mark, add coolant (Refer to LUBRICATION &
MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION) to the bottle until the level reaches the MIN mark. Do Not Overfillthe bottle by adding fluid above the MAX line. This may cause coolant to spill onto the ground during subsequent vehicle operation.
COOLING SYSTEM CLEANING/REVERSE FLUSHING
CLEANING
Drain the cooling system and refill with water. Run the engine with the radiator cap installed until the upper radiator
hose is hot. Stop the engine and drain the water from system. If the water is dirty, fill the system with water, run the
engine and drain the system. Repeat this procedure until the water drains clean.
REVERSE FLUSHING
Reverse flushing of the cooling system is the forcing of water through the cooling system. This is done using air
pressure in the opposite direction of normal coolant flow. It is usually only necessary with very dirty systems with
evidence of partial plugging.
REVERSE FLUSHING RADIATOR
Disconnect the radiator hoses from the radiator inlet and outlet. Attach a section of the radiator hose to the radiator
bottom outlet fitting and insert the flushing gun. Connect a water supply hose and air supply hose to the flushing
gun.
CAUTION: Internal radiator pressure must not exceed 138 kPa (20 psi) as damage to radiator may result.
Allow the radiator to fill with water. When the radiator is filled, apply air in short blasts. Allow the radiator to refill
between blasts. Continue this reverse flushing until clean water flows out through the rear of the radiator cooling
tube passages.
REVERSE FLUSHING ENGINE
Drain the cooling system. Remove the thermostat housing and thermostat. Install the thermostat housing. Disconnect the radiator upper hose from the radiator and attach the flushing gun to the hose. Disconnect the radiator lower
hose from the water pump and attach a lead-away hose to the water pump inlet fitting.
CAUTION: On vehicles equipped with a heater water control valve, be sure the heater control valve is
closed (heat off). This will prevent coolant flow with scale and other deposits from entering the heater core.
Connect the water supply hose and air supply hose to flushing gun. Allow the engine to fill with water. When the
engine is filled, apply air in short blasts, allowing the system to fill between air blasts. Continue until clean water
flows through the lead away hose.
Remove the lead away hose, flushing gun, water supply hose and air supply hose. Remove the thermostat housing
and install the thermostat. Install the thermostat housing with a replacement gasket. Refer to Thermostat Replacement. Connect the radiator hoses. Refill the cooling system with the correct antifreeze/water mixture (Refer to
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION). Refer to Refilling the Cooling System.
7 - 20COOLINGDR
CHEMICAL CLEANING
In some instances, use a radiator cleaner (MoparT Radiator Kleen or equivalent) before flushing. This will soften
scale and other deposits and aid flushing operation.
CAUTION: Follow manufacturers instructions when using these products.
DRAINING COOLING SYSTEM - ALL GAS ENGINES
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE CYLINDER BLOCK
DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN RADIATOR DRAINCOCK WITH SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN
OCCUR.
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If solution is clean,
drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.
1. Attach one end of a hose to the draincock. Put the
other end into a clean container.
2. DO NOT REMOVE THE RADIATOR CAP when
draining the coolant from the reservoir/overflow
tank. Open radiator draincock and when the tank is
empty, remove the radiator cap and continue draining the cooling system.
3. If draining the entire engine, remove the cylinder
block drain plugs (1).
REFILLING COOLING SYSTEM - ALL GAS ENGINES
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. In
order to maintain the required protection for these components and cooling system performance, only use the
appropriate fluid (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES - DESCRIPTION) when servicing the
vehicle. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% distilled water to obtain
a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE CYLINDER BLOCK DRAIN PLUGS OR LOOSEN RADIATOR DRAINCOCK WITH
SYSTEM HOT AND UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM COOLANT CAN OCCUR.
DO NOT WASTE reusable coolant. If solution is clean, drain coolant into a clean container for reuse.
Clean cooling system prior to refilling. (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
1. Install cylinder block drain plugs. Coat the threads with MoparT Thread Sealant with Teflon.
2. Close radiator petcock.
3. Fill cooling system with the antifreeze mixture (Refer to LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE/FLUID TYPES DESCRIPTION).
4. Fill coolant reserve/overflow tank to MAX mark on bottle.
5. Start and operate engine until thermostat opens (upper radiator hose warm to touch).
6. If necessary, add antifreeze mixture to the coolant reserve/overflow tank. This is done to maintain coolant level
between the MAX and MIN marks. The level in the reserve/overflow tank may drop below the MIN mark after
three or four warm-up and cool-down cycles.

4. Remove radiator pressure cap.
REFILLING COOLING SYSTEM - 5.9L DIESEL ENGINE
Clean cooling system prior to refilling (Refer to 7 - COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE).
1. Close radiator drain plug.
CAUTION: Due to the use of the one-way check valve, the engine must not be operating when refilling the
cooling system.
NOTE: The diesel engine is equipped with two one-way check valves (jiggle pins). The check valves are
used as a servicing feature and will vent air when the system is being filled. Water pressure (or flow) will
hold the valves closed.
2. Fill the cooling system with a 50/50 mixture of distilled water and antifreeze.
3. Fill coolant reserve/overflow tank to the FULL mark.
4. Start and operate engine until thermostat opens. Upper radiator hose should be warm to touch.
5. If necessary, add 50/50 water and antifreeze mixture to the coolant reserve/overflow tank to maintain coolant

TENSIONER-BELT
DESCRIPTION
Correct drive belt tension is required to ensure optimum performance of the belt driven engine accessories. If specified tension is not maintained, belt
slippage may cause; engine overheating, lack of
power steering assist, loss of air conditioning capacity,
reduced generator output rate, and greatly reduced
belt life.
It is not necessary to adjust belt tension. All engines
are equipped with an automatic belt tensioner. The
tensioner maintains correct belt tension at all times.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to check belt tension
with a belt tension gauge on vehicles equipped
with an automatic belt tensioner.
OPERATION
The automatic belt tensioner maintains belt tension by using internal spring pressure, a pivoting arm and pulley to
press against the drive belt.
REMOVAL
3.7L/4.7L ENGINE
On 3.7L and 4.7L engines, the tensioner is
equipped with an indexing tang on back of tensioner and an indexing stop on tensioner housing.
If a new belt is being installed, tang must be
within approximately 24 mm (.94 inches) of indexing stop. Belt is considered new if it has been
used 15 minutes or less.
If the above specification cannot be met, check for:
• The wrong belt being installed (incorrect length/
width)
• Worn bearings on an engine accessory (A/C
compressor, power steering pump, water pump,
idler pulley or generator)
• A pulley on an engine accessory being loose
• Misalignment of an engine accessory
