Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) looking for overflow valve repair kit part #

[Cooker]

Bill,



I think what Pete was doing was trying to prevent outside viewers, ie. non-TDR members, from benefiting from such useful advise. Therefore creating an opportunity where paid membership was necessary to reap the some of the benefits of the TDR.



bighammer, please correct me if I am wrong?

 

[bighammer]

Oh well

what and where is the OF valve? I looked at the engine diagram on dodgeram.org and dont see it.





help the newbee out



I am down a few mpg but it may be from shoving my #10 forward

This picture is from the front of the engine.

The oil fill spout is the large object far left center.

OF valve

Freebmw;

If you remove the valve, stuff a rag in the area UNDER the valve to catch the washers that are there. they get lost VERY easily, and are essential for sealing. if you check the spring-- and stretch it, do it very easy, just MASSAGE it, to . 550" not more. just a HAIR over 1/2"OK??????

just my penny's worth.

Marv.

I've got one of those new valves, & it works fine as far as I can tell, It came to about $25 with shipping. It looks a little different, It's a one piece unit, no way to stretch the spring, but hopefully it won't need it for a while. I threw my old one in the glove box just in case.

 

[illflem]

You can't take the newer ones from Bosch apart to stretch the spring either.

Thank you,

I sent a check to the above address and it came back checked "No Such Street".



I double checked the address. It's the same as above.

 

[Cooker]

Hemi,

That is the correct address. Sometimes the USPS makes a mistake.

 

[HEMI®Dart]

I resent the check in a new envelope and it came back again marked: No such number.

 

[Cooker]

Hmmm... I looked up the address last time you had this problem and it was correct. You might try giving them a call on Monday to see if somehow there address is listed wrong

 

[bighammer]

Wrong "city"

I dug through my files and found his business card. The address is:



1286 N. Cedar

Mason, MI 48854



The posted address is from my internet search. Mason and Holt are next o each other and it was my mistake for assuming the net was right. Sorry guys, I screwed up.



(yes, he is real and does exist)

 

[Cooker]

I'll take some of the blame too. Sorry Hemi.
