Our listings show that the 2000 Ram 2500 with the V10 requires our 3/4 unf-16 oil filter adapter. The product number is GS-AF2."

For one, the stock temp gauge is very slow reacting and not very accurate. I often see a 20 degree swing on the Glow Shift that barely registers on the stocker. It never hurts to monitor your engine more precisely.

Glow Shift has an adapter that goes in the upper radiator hose. Probably the easiest way to do it.
