man I hate those incidents that almost burn the whole truck down. It's what I fear most owning an old Dodge with it's questionable underdash wiring. WTF were they thinking?
As a younger jackass I of course had to learn the hard way how snow and ice, mud etc up in the works makes your car quit working. Now days when I see a snow bank or mud pit I'm no longer thinking wide open throttle but seeing dollar signs floating away. Gotta keep that stuff out of there, man! You got quite a bit packed in there somehow.
Oh I agree, I remember my first experience with the melting headlight switches on these things got it figured out in time though.
I'm the same way with my nice trucks, I cringe even driving my 4th gen anymore, seems the world cant allow a guy to own something nice, whether its other drivers, roads or mother nature lol, but this is the beater, figure a guy needs a part of your budget to have fun with in some way
Hey everyone! Radiator install went pretty well. I haven’t installed the E fans yet. I’m having 1 pretty big problem that’s quite annoying and I’ll add a bunch of pictures.
my lower transmission cooler line just WILL nkt connect to the pieces they sent out. I messaged the seller on EBay and currently waiting for a response. Probably respond tmr.
I thought it was connect, test drove it very very little just incase something was wrong. Luckily I didn’t go far because the line popped off and there was transmission fluid EVERYWHERE. Dropped 0RPM Shut itself off. Luckily I was still parked out front of my house.
In the event that the eBay seller doesn’t respond. What could I buy to make this work? Some DIY ****. Lol. Adapters or anything. I have a BUNCH of my seasonal work coming up and I really need the truck running. It was running normal before with the RAD leak but it began squirting fluid across the engine bay and leak just kept getting worse so me and dad decided to finally install the new one that’s been in my basement for like a month lol. Any ideas will help. Sizes. Diameters. Whatever it is.

Is the fitting the right size? I believe they are supposed to be 3/8ths..... Might try using the disconnect tool to open it up, and the push it on... See if it will lock in place.
That fitting looks like it's for a hose to go over it not the quick disconnect. Probably need something like this to run the quick disconnect.
yeah we figured that out, sadly the hard way. We just cut it and clamped it on. Running great now! My truck went from 171-175 fo 167-171 temps… normal?
got it figured out in time though.
