Re: temperamental srt-6
Don't make the $175 mistake and replace your stock pump for a Johnson just yet. I did and still had the overtemp problem.
I would suggest to first separate your cooling systems so the heat exchanger (HE) isn't also trying to cool the engine coolant. It's practically free 'cept for the cost of a few hose clamps that you probably have laying around anyway.
Remove your front grille and go here... (copy & paste link) https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum/tsbs-how-articles/35362-how-super-cooler-install.html#post387956 and follow starting from step 8.
Pull off the top hose on your HE and drain in a bucket.
Run a 27", 5/8" hose from the top connection of your HE to the top intercooler connection. Plug the hoses noted in steps 8 & 10.
See if that doesn't work first. If it does you can pay me!
Note: the stock HE only holds 2 cups of coolant!!!
I have the stock pump on my roadster (with a Super Cooler) and have been driving HARD in mid 90+ degree weather without any problems!
