Combination
Cooler Dodge Power Wagon M880 W200 1976 Ramcharger pick up.
The combination cooler from (for example Summit)
gives you extra cooling that keeps your engine and transmission oil at
the temperature with minimum fluctuation (Combinationcooler - SUM-G4978),
the system comes with a remote filter kit for your engine oil, it is a
good idea to order an extra remote filter kit (SUM-G4980) for your transmission,
you can put this transmission remote filter near your engine oil remote
filter.
Tip: Dodge Power Wagon M880 W200
Almost every extra cooler is mounted on your
old radiator with tie-rips, this is not a very reliable way of mounting,
in almost every case you will damage your old radiator and this radiator
will start to leak, especially when you drive in the rough terrain the
extra cooler(s) become loose, therefore make an aluminum frame connected
to and within the front end, before your radiator, now you can mount the
extra cooler(s) on this frame, in this case you can mount the extra cooler(s)
with tie-rips on your new aluminum frame. Don,t forget to put rubber cushions
between this new frame and the cooler(s).
Warning!! Dodge Power Wagon M880 W200
First read the instruction carefully, but above
all use your common sense, follow the ins and the outs of the adapter (which
leads to your remote engine oil filter) so engine out, cooler in, cooler
out, into your remote filter, out of your remote filter, and back to the
in of your engine oil adapter, the marks on your adapter are not correct
with this package , the in and out are opposite, there is an one way valve
in your oil filter, look carefully how the oil filter works, screw
the right type of adapter on your oil filter (there are more adapters in
the pakkage for other truck brands, there is only one that fits Chrysler).
There is only one hose fitting/nipple which
you are able to blow through, that is the "in"let fitting, back to your
engine, the other hose fitting (which the air comes out when you blow)
is the outlet from your engine oil, mark the fittings so you know
exactly which nipple goes to the extra cooler and which hose from the remote
filter goes back to the inlet of your adapter back to the engine, unscrew
the adapter from your new oilfilter, screw the adapter to your engine and
start to mount the whole system.
Important note!! Dodge Power Wagon M880
W200
In the most likely situation when you are turning
the engine with the starter motor, the oil pressure gauge does not indicate
the pressure (40) within 10 seconds, even though you have filled the oil
filters before with oil, in most cases there still will be air in the system,
so before you let the engine run for real, first interrupt the plus wire
leading to your ignition coil, you can do this by leading your plus wire
some where into your cabin, mount a switch to this wire and lead the outcoming
wire back to your ignition coil, if you then start the engine will not
start but the oil pump will work, this avoids any further damage to your
engine, you can also use this switch as a prevention for burglary if you
put it in a hidden place, for example under your dashboard..
If you turn the engine with the starter motor
(of course turn your new switch off, so your engine will not start, but
your oil pump will work) and your oil gauge does not indicate 40 within
10 seconds, stop starting immediately, disconnect the hose from your outgoing
fitting of your remote oilfilter, let someone else keep an eye on this
outgoing fitting by keeping a small bowl under the fitting (or for example
a plastic bag), the person in the cab turns the engine around by starting,
as soon as oil flows out of the outgoing nipple, the other person gives
a signal, stop turning around the engine, connect the hose back to the
nipple and the person in the cabs turns the engine again, in most cases
the oil pressure gauge will indicates now 40, if not, repeat the process,
cause youre automatic transmission does not have an oil pressure gauge,
also remove the hose of the outgoing nipple of your automatic transmission
remote oil filter, turn the engine again with the starter motor and check
in the same way if the transmission oil flows from the outgoing nipple
of this remote filter, then you are sure that there is no air in both systems,
turn your new switch on so that the engine starts and runs, at this moment
you can make a double check that your extra cooling systems works, check
again that the oil pressure gauge indicates 40, put your hand (beware of
the turning fan) first on the engine oil filter, this filter will become
warmer after a few minutes, let your help check this, at the same time
shift through all the gears from the automatic transmission (of course
keep your foot on the brake) so P,R,N,D,2,1 and return trough all this
shifts, repeat this process several times, now your help can check if the
automatic relocated transmission filter also becomes warm, then it is also
time to check the fluid level of your automatic transmission, keep in mind
that you need more transmission oil because of the extra cooler and the
relocated filter with the extra hoses, add the oil in small quantities
so do not overflow the system, better add three of four times a half pint
then add to much oil, during the process of adding tranmission oil to the
system keep on shift through all gears, when you also use a Deeppan (Summit:
BMM-10280) you have to be aware that you even need more oil
for the system, while you are busy to improve your cooling system,
it is a good idea to put at the same time a Shiftkit into your transmission
Summit
BMM-10225 (for 727 Torqueflite). above

This Milodon water pump is made from aluminum.
The pump features new castings and is a direct factory replacement with
OEM hose connections and bosses, this high-volume pump has a balanced distribution
design (equal flow to both sides of the engine block), and a high efficiency
impeller that increases coolant flow up to 30 percent over stock, these
features increase coolant pressure in the block to prevent hot spots and
air pockets, and improve coolant flow in the radiator, a high-flow thermostat
is recommended when using a high-volume pump (Milodon, MIL-16250). above
