Yea that's a dodge truck transmission - came in 1500 Rams and Dakotas mainly behind the 5.2L v8. Also came in some Chevy trucks IIRC (but with different specs)

Essentially the same as the Jeep NV3550 that came in TJs, except the bellhousing mounting bolts are different, as are the input/output splines. It won't fit in a jeep unless you swapped in the dodge v8 also.

 

Some one correct me if I am wrong but I do believe just do a coolant flush

 

Thanks, couldnt find much info on them online.

 

It's a renix, just to add on

 

Heater core is hidden inside your dash. The hoses for it are the two that run along the passenger side of the engine right into the firewall. To be honest I'm not 100% sure which one is hot and which is return, I *THINK* that the hot one is the one attached to the thermostat housing right beside the upper rad hose. Can't remember where the other one ends up. Anyway to flush the heater core you want to start by backflushing it - since the water pump normally will push sediment from the hot -> return lines you want to blast water in the return line, pushing things back out the way they came.

 

Unhook the two hoses coming from the fire wall a the thermostat and the tube off the water pump, pour flush in one let it soak drain it, repeat until clear. You might be better off to flush the entire system.

 

Well ill be doing my thermostat Sunday so ill do it then, thanks for the info guys.

 

Definitely flush the whole system if you are doing the thermostat .

 

I may have a lot of posts but I'm still newbie in some areas. I feel like I know what a system flush is, but could someone help me out?

 

To me it's a funny tasting fluid i get from the parts store. LOL

 

Flushing everything. Heater core, radiator, and engine block. Generally everything else is replaced at the same time (pump, hoses, tstat, housing)

I always thought that coolant was basically lime Kool-Aid lol. Sediment forms when the Jeep hasn't been offroaded enough, letting the crystals settle instead of being dissolved in the water

 

Don't they have kits for flushing?

 

Ill research when I get home.

 

They do indeed, the one I'm familiar with is an adapter you can hook your garden hose up to and some flush chemical.

 

Does anything change with me having a renix? What's it called?
