Traded my 01 ram 4x4 sport off road edition 5.9 4.10 gears 153,000 miles dash cracked to hell put new skin over it, piece of overdrive snap ring in tranny pan , rear end clutch pack falling apart , heater core leaking,bad slop steering, for a 99 Durango 132,000 mi 5.2 4wd silver 3rd row seat mint interior new tires had it a day and water pump leaking at weep hole,and small hairline crack on radiator so I said ef it and did new water pump, radiator,timing chain,hoses, idler pulley, battery and alt flushed heater core and clutch fan,Taylor wires cap, rotor, champ iridium plugs, now i know what been done to it........so just thought I'd say hey to the d side of the forum oh yeah was title for title at dealership

 

Basically got it for the wife and kids little more family friendlier also have a nib Detroit locker thaw was gonna go in the ram if this rear goes out I'm happy with the trade been reading on here for info

 

 

I'd figure so, when wife gets back from movies with kids I'll take lots o pics
The t chain had 1/2 inch slop also tested and put in 180 tstat 100 deg outside ac on still runs c-hair below 210 or straight up 210 from searching this is normal I hope

 

Speaking of photos... unlike your present sig shot, maybe get one with less sky and ground (so it doesn't needlessly lengthen threads, I have sky and ground where I live, seen that part) and maybe all of the truck, without the grill clipped off?

 

^^ it's not that big of a deal


With it being that hot with the a/c on and just the mechanical fan that sounds normal for idling, but it should go back towards 180 while driving. In 2000 they added an auxiliary electric fan to help with the a/c so that the temp wouldn't be so high while idling. I went ahead and replaced my mechanical fan completely with a high flow electric one.

This is where mine normally sits (I have a 180 thermostat too)

 

Yes it drops while driving I searched for e fans and sounds like the Taurus ppl like ,because I was just going to spend the money and be done with it since I had it all tore down think summit had a 3700 or 4000 cfm single fan a
lot of dual fans were to big for or our rads

 

I went with the taurus fan and a dakota digital controller for mine.

 

Oh Wait... that might be too big of a pic...

 

What do you mean Dakota digital controller? I'm planning on doing the Taurus Efan swap and get rid of the mechanical one as well, would rather use a controller than a switch that I have to manually switch on

Ps: sorry to thread jack
