    Orange sludge under radiator cap

    Think I found the hose, it's labelled RAD. So do you recommend removing the green arrow clamp (hose goes horizontal with the ground forward towards the grill) or the blue arrow clamp (hose is going up towards the roof) in order to drain some fluid to make space for the RMI25 in the rad and to...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    Thats a huge part of why I picked the LTs. 40% more tread for 17% more cost, for me.

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    Tell me more please. put them on backwards meaning putting the cone against the inside of the wheel? Is that how it works/what you mean? Truck came with P rated. Bought new P rated Cooper discoverer AT3. They had the bad shakes at 70mph although very smooth up until 65. I returned those and...

    Been looking for pick & pull type yards within 150 miles of me and little exists, and unfortunately somehow no rams at the 3 places I found.

    Orange sludge under radiator cap

    RMI25 arrived today. So the radiator is full (see fluid under the cap) The overflow is on the min side between min and max on the dipstick. So You would recommend dumping as much as can fir into the overflow? Since the radiator is already full? Not sure which hose to disconnect at the bottom to...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    I called up the original tire shop that mounted the Coopers. I asked him about the driveshaft and U-joints, he said he checked both of those when he replaced the brakes and rotors all around and there was no issue with them mechanically. I mentioned I'm tempted to just trade the thing in and he...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    Not sure I mentioned a wheel problem. The original tire shop mentioned they have trouble balancing Rams because the wheels use a plastic cover and they are hesitant to tighten the balancer too much and crack that wheel skin. But no wheel issues I'm aware of, and the road force balancer didn't...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    No noise in rear end. With the new set of Cooper tires the front end was shaking badly at 70mph, felt mostly in the steering wheel. With the new Falkens that is mostly gone in the wheel and is now felt in the seat. So there was a change from one set of tires to another, and neither front nor...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    Literally all articles and forums posts I can find online talk about tire balancing being the culprit for shaking in the steering wheel and seat when at specific speeds, such as a band of highway speeds like mine (70-80 for example). So I truly can't understand how it can be this bad after...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    They said they did a road force on the rear tires since that's where I'm feelings the shake. 6# and 26# was the result which he said is "exceptionally good ,and fine, respectively". And that there's nothing left to do for the tires. He recommended a mechanic take it up to speed at 75 to feel it...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    That's great. The shop said they will do a road force balance for me, but all that does is "put a drum against the tire and give you a number in pounds that will tell you if something is basically out of round." So it doesn't sound like it is a different balance job than standard? I'm confused...

    Orange sludge under radiator cap

    I don't know. How would I get the block to drain? Like if I drain the radiator and fill it, drive it around, drain and fill it... etc? Is there something I need to do, turn on, etc?

    Orange sludge under radiator cap

    I dont trust anyone either, because I pretty much have disappointing service experiences from everything from cars, to medical, to contractors. So is a "petcock" the drain at the bottom of the radiator when I see people drain the whole radiator on videos? Would using that hand siphon pump from...

    Ordering Falken Wildpeak A/T3W's, P or LT?

    Got the truck back with the LT wildpeaks. The ride is definitely rougher than the Cooper P tires, but not extremely so. The tire shop filled them 50psi in front and 45 in rear (max 65psi for reference) and said thats what both the shop owner and tire tech run theirs at, with the same tires...

    Orange sludge under radiator cap

    Well, here it is. So theres clearly some contaminants still in the system, although its far better than it was when I first opened the cap. I have about 100 miles on the truck since the coolant flush and fill. I was told they filled it with Mopar 10 year OAT. if thats true, it went in purple...
