    Gremlin in the radiator?!?!?

    I did make a video, but you can't hear the noise in said video! So I didn't post it. In regards to coolant & oil temps. Yes, I am accustomed to seeing them change/track in unison. Just not so dramatically, that is my concern.

    Engaging/dis-engaging 4×4, max speed???

    I've never encountered "a loud clunk" while engagin the 4wd. Again, I do not have an "auto 4wd" option on my electronic knob shifter. Mayb I should amend my original post. I have no questions on "when" or "how" to use the 4wd options. Just curious regarding the speed at which owners are...

    Research "Timbrens". That's what I believe they are. Congrats on the "new to you" truck.

    Bolt size?

    Question, so does that mean my 17' Ram 1500 SLT, 5.7, 6-speed, 4×4, CC, Shortbed, has the same thermal management unit? I do have a "temp gage" as part of my cluster. Or is it a component that's needed only for the 8-speed trans? Thanks.
