Is the 054 a larger capacity radiator than the 965 or should I just get the 965 re-done and re-install? I could use more cooling capacity in really hot weather, but mostly never had a problem with the 965. Also, will the shroud on the 965 fit the 054? Any help or recommendations will be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Mike

All four of the corbin hose clamps just fell apart in two pieces without applying any pressure to the pliers. No clamp load was holding those hoses in place... Is that typical, or were they defective? I think they came from Year One about 20 years ago.

It just sprayed all over the radiator making it look like that was the problem. Reassembled everything with new clamps and all is good! Great day for driving the Charger in Michigan!
