Hey Ramracing, how do you like that Jet chip? Is it worth the $200?

only thing is i think the chip works better with auto trannys because it helps them shift faster, and also at a higher rpm , in which we both have manual trannys!

Well, sure enough, it was a clogged radiator, not the head gaskets. They still say the gaskets were bad and the heads were warped (.003") and that was a factor.

Now its throwing a "multiple misfire" code periodically. it did it once and I took it back so they could check (thats when they told me multiple misfire) The light came on again but I have not had a chance to take it back in. I will be replacing the plugs today so hopefully that will help.

Hey im new to this forum but i found this site after looking for answers to the problems with my Ram. Mine as well has started running hot have had it in the dodge place twice they have tried a new radiator cap and just picked it up today after they put a water pump on it and new thermostat still running warm they also told me now they think it might be a flow problem. This absolutely blows my mind of all the vehicles I have had I have never had one have a radiator problem with only 38k miles on it. Very dissapointed with this I have had this truck for over 3 years and never had a problem till now. Curious to see what Chrysler says tomorrow the dealer has called them for help.

Well, mine has 46k, but its probably been doing it for a while since it only did it at freeway speeds.
