They sure seemed to! I'm thinking its a bad fuse relay or ground, but I'll need a multimeter to confirm that. They just quit working out of nowhere..
Why haven't you driven the Ram again? Trying to save it?


You might hook those fans up directly to power and see what happens.

Couldn't afford it at my old job.. Insurance + gas + it consistently asking for new parts was somethin i just couldnt afford on $10/ hr. Tried to sell it, couldnt, so I parked it. Usually run 2-3 times a week so it don't just sit. And ya haha if i couldn't find a bad fuse, relay or ground was gonna do that

What about your possible new job at Savage? What position would it be?

2005 jeep liberty renegade 3.7 4x4 , was getting 23mpg on stock height and tires 225/75/16, put a 3inch lift and 245/70/16 a/t tires and went down to 20mpg, then installed some copper stt 245/75/16 tires (heavy) now getting 18 mpg and the tranny barely can hold O/D gear, in uphill is almost impossible to hold 3rd gear, it quickly downshifts to 2nd to keep speed, feels like no power in 3rd gear, sometimes on highway acts like if it forgets to shift from 3rd to 4th and when finally it goes to 4th the rpms keep bouncy a few hundreds rpm for a little bit, 42rle 148k miles, was scared to post in the wrong section so i told myself, post in the OT that way you are not guilty from.....going off topic

^^^ Time for gears or a V8 swap. Cooper Stt are nice tires you will like them.

it has 3.73 gears, and is pretty fast, i think a V8 won't fit in there, only complaint is on the acting shifts, suspecting the torque converter is slipping

I've been thinking about getting a set, my local shop has them for $178 each in a 35". It's not my preferred size, but you can't beat the price. I've heard their treadlife is up there with Toyo's and their pattern is similar as well. That being so, I could probably have the money by next Friday. Should be fun.
