What Did You Do To Your 2ND GEN RAM Today?
#1253
Put my grill back on after I gave the epoxy 24 hours to cure.
Changed my transmission filter and pan gasket. The magnet in the pan was doubled in size with deposits and the pan was full of sediment and pieces of something- cork, rubber, dirt- I'm not sure.
Checked coolant freeze protection. The coolant I drew into the tester was clear, but all the ***** floated to the top... The coolant in the tank looks orange, but it has stuff floating in it. I took off the radiator cap and the thermostat is rusty and the radiator appears to be rusted inside.
I'm a little worried about the coolant because winter is coming up and I've heard it gets below zero here sometimes. My truck has been in Texas all it's life and never below 10 degrees.
I was going to exchange the fluid in my transfer case, but I'm not sure how to remove the plugs. They appear to be large hex shaped holes- maybe a large allen wrench will work on these..? Any idea what size they are?
Also, a seal in my transfer case is leaking, about in the middle of the skidplate. How hard is this to replace?

LOL @ Twisted.
Ram1500, thanks for the info.
It probably was some generic crap.
I'll need to add that to my to fix/replace list. Damn, just when it was almost down to two pages..
Should I just drain out the old coolant and pour in new, or is there something else I need to do..?

BTW I learned a long time ago that coolant doesn't last very well past one year. To keep my cooling system clean, I drain and refill with new coolant at the start of Summer each year.
