DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION - COOLING SYSTEM FLOW
3.7L/4.7L ENGINE
The cooling system regulates engine operating temperature.
It allows the engine to reach normal operating
temperature as quickly as possible. It also
maintains normal operating temperature and prevents
overheating.
The cooling system provides a means of heating
the passenger compartment and cooling the automatic
transmission fluid (if equipped). The cooling
system is pressurized and uses a centrifugal water
pump to circulate coolant through the system and a
coolant deaeration and reserve system that utilizes a
pressurized degas bottle (hot bottle).
An optional factory installed maximum duty cooling
package is available on most models. This package
will provide additional cooling capacity for
vehicles used under extreme conditions such as
trailer towing in high ambient temperatures (Fig. 1).

system uses a coolant recovery / reserve system that
utilizes an ambient overflow bottle.
An optional factory installed maximum duty cooling
package is available on most models. This package
will provide additional cooling capacity for
vehicles used under extreme conditions such as
trailer towing in high ambient temperatures (Fig. 2).
