See that is odd......from what I have read online, the 5.9L 3/4 Ton Rams
seem to run warm all the time, maybe there is a weight factor between the
Durango and the Ram? Still it couldnt be that much of a weight difference.
Anyways, with the auto transmission being a failure prone part in the Ram
world, I figured once I find a Ram I would have the tranny fluid serviced
with the 100% fluid replacement service(along with new filter of course). I
found one person online who actually did install an electric fan on the
tranny cooler with a cab mounted auxil. switch. As far as a cab mounted
auxil switch for a radiator electric fan, I dont know if it could be done. I
mean there would already be the large stock belt driven clutch fan, so
clearance between this fan and the radiator might be a problem. Since the
tranny cooler is mounted infront of the radiator, the only auxil. tranny
cooler fan I could put on would be infront of the tranny cooler, so it would
be a 'pusher style' fan, rather than a puller.........and I dont know if
this would be 100% effective in trying to cool the tranny fluid. It may help
out somewhat, especially at lower speeds, just not sure if it would help
that much. Any thoughts?
