Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
So...yeah! I may have mentioned this issue before but very brefely. This was not something my dad or uncle did! This is yet another great example of what "amazing" body work was done to this way back when.
Many ideas have gone though my head; replace the core support? Clean it up to make it look normal or do a tube front end? It is a tough decision. I wanted to buy a front clip from someone then decide from there but the guy who had one was in a rust to scrap it.
So I am here asking for some ideas. What does everyone else suggest?

Well the money got spent on the trucks transmission which I rebuilt in an automatic transmissions class I had. In which we all had to rebuild a transmission. |

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
I've been doing some thinking lately and have run into a minor problem. Air flow to different coolers/devices. The intercooler up front won't be a big deal, the ducting for my air filter will be fine (passenger side inlet) but what about that transmission cooler. There's no way it'll sit in the factory location. Maybe if I turn it to an angle but then what good is that.
My idea for a solution: Chrysler, as terrible as they were with transmissions made a helluva cooling setup on the automatic Cummins trucks. The cooling went as follows: trans. out/hot, heat exchanger (fluid to water/coolant cooler), to front air cooler then finally back to the trans. in/cool.
What does everyone think of this idea? Using the coolant as a source of cooling for the transmission fluid rather than an air cooler?

Did you replace the cooler lines? I remember you saying you were going to with AN fittings and ss lines. Dodge diesels have a one way check valve in the cooler system. Hopefully you didn't ruin that because that can definitely cause a transmission failure. We'll if you need a help, Paul at Proven Force knows a ton about dodge diesel transmission. He rebuilds tons of them. |

You are behind my friend! All of the lines got replaced. If it were there from the factory it is now GONE. The check valve is part of one of the cooler lines. It is near the front air cooler where the hard steel line changes to rubber. As I said, all this went bye-bye.
The truck has also been picked up two Sundays ago I believe to be fixed. I don't have the time nor do I have the patients to fix it. Besides the lack of tools, help and money; most important. |

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
Seems like a good way to raise coolant temps.
Btw, got this for you whenever you got time to grab it

It sure as hell keeps the 47RH/RE transmissions cool!
Time isn't an issue on the front end, it's the whole not having a truck thing that's phucking me. |

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
Is was simply an idea since there is nowhere else for the air trans. cooler to go.

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
Well, this is really all I have for you guys. Work hasn't been hella' busy but I have been with other stupid things. Working on other people's cars, wasting money on fixing my Colt. lol Stupid stuff.
Got everything cleared for the MAP FMIC.
I have an idea of how I am going to get this turbo onto this manifold.
Now, if only I could get this damn thing to cooperate!

Clamp a large vice grip onto it and slowly tighten the grip. That's what I've always had luck doing anyways. |

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
So since you guys don't like my idea of using a heat exchanger, what are your opinions? Or alternate options.

Re: 95 Talon TSi AWD
I finally took two hours off of work and picked up a engine lift. In a few I will be putting the engine on my stand and start the fun. If you can even call it that. lol
I just thought I'd snap a picture of the flex plate now that it's fully off of the engine. Nasty looking. It 110% explains the sound the car had.
