REMOVAL - WATER PUMP BYPASS HOSE
WITHOUT AIR CONDITIONING
A water pump bypass hose (Fig. 70) is used
between the intake manifold and water pump on all
gas powered engines. To test for leaks, (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
(1) Partially drain cooling system (Refer to 7 -
COOLING - STANDARD PROCEDURE). Do not
waste reusable coolant. If the solution is clean, drain
the coolant into a clean container for reuse.WARNING: CONSTANT TENSION HOSE CLAMPS
ARE USED ON MOST COOLING SYSTEM HOSES.
WHEN REMOVING OR INSTALLING, USE ONLY
TOOLS DESIGNED FOR SERVICING THIS TYPE OF
CLAMP, SUCH AS SPECIAL CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER
6094). SNAP-ON CLAMP TOOL (NUMBER HPC-20)
MAY BE USED FOR LARGER CLAMPS. ALWAYS
WEAR SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SERVICING CON-
STANT TENSION CLAMPS.
CAUTION: A number or letter is stamped into the
tongue of constant tension clamps. If replacement
is necessary, use only an original equipment clamp
with a matching number or letter.
(2) Loosen both bypass hose clamps and position to
the center of hose.
(3) Remove hose from vehicle.

TRANS COOLER - 5.9L
DESCRIPTION
An air-to-oil transmission oil cooler is standard on
all engine packages. the cooler is located between the
radiator and air conditioning condenser (Fig. 1).
OPERATION
The transmission oil is routed through the cooler
where heat is removed from the transmission oil
before returning to the transmission. The cooler has
an internal thermostat that controls fluid flow
through the cooler. When the transmission fluid is
cold ( less than operating temperature) the fluid is
routed through the cooler bypass. when the transmis-
sion fluid reaches operating temperatures and above,
the thermostat closes off the bypass allowing fluid
flow through the cooler. The thermostat MUST beremoved from the cooler before the cooler can be
flushed. The thermostat is serviceable.
STANDARD PROCEDURE
STANDARD PROCEDURE - FLUSHING
COOLERS AND TUBES - WITH RADIATOR
IN-TANK TRANSMISSION OIL COOLER
When a transmission failure has contaminated the
fluid, the oil cooler(s) must be flushed. The torque
converter must also be replaced. This will insure that
metal particles or sludged oil are not later trans-
ferred back into the reconditioned (or replaced) trans-
mission.
The only recommended procedure for flushing cool-
ers and lines is to use Tool 6906-B Cooler Flusher.

sion cooler line and the cooler fitting. Failure to
remove the drainback valve will prevent reverse
flushing the system. A suitable replacement hose
can be found in the adapter kit supplied with the

ing solution from cooler and lines. Turn pump OFF.
(11) Place CLEAR suction line into a one quart
container of MopartATF +4, type 9602, Automatic

(12) Turn pump ON until all transmission fluid is
removed from the one quart container and lines. This
purges any residual cleaning solvent from the trans-

TRANS COOLER - 5.9L DIESEL
DESCRIPTION
All diesel models equipped with an automatic
transmission are equipped with both a main water-
to-oil cooler and a separate air-to-oil cooler. Both cool-
ers are supplied as standard equipment on diesel
engine powered models when equipped with an auto-
matic transmission.
The main water-to-oil transmission oil cooler is
mounted to a bracket on the turbocharger side of the
engine (Fig. 6).
The air-to-oil cooler is located in front of and to the
left side of the radiator (Fig. 7).
OPERATION
The transmission oil is routed through the main
cooler first, then the auxiliary cooler where addi-
tional heat is removed from the transmission oil
before returning to the transmission.
