Brake and Cooling problems
Two odd problems with my 01 Ram 2500 5.9L V8
1st problem: Over cooling in the winter and running a little hot in the summer. I had to tow my dad's 06 Ram Big Horn because his passenger wheel bearing went and the wheel was sorta locked got way past the half mark, on the gauge. In the winter it has very little heat. I do have a little coolant leak where that metal hose meets the water pump but I top off the fluid and both instance the fluid level were good.
2nd problem: since I got my ABS lights to go out now the pedal is acting weird one minute it will be "soft" literally next push it's hard as a rock and wonderfully touchy brakes like I like it too be. But if you hold them you will hit hear a loud click type sound and pedal will slowly go down, this happens when the pedal is rock hard. This truck is suppose to have hydraboost as it was a diesel but has the vacuum brake booster. Any ideas??

I am going to get a thermostat what's the lowest I can go with the CEL coming on? Water pump is brand new Mopar one. I want to do E-Fans but had bad luck with them towing. I am planning to install one in front of everything as a helper fan with AC like the 1st Gen durangos had.
