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). >>
My dad's put about 150,000 on his 96 3500 Ram Van and his only cooling
problem was losing an expansion plug.. we never had it even warm up any
extra running a CGVW of around 25,000# . The tranny was acting up a little
bit around 50-70K miles. but changing the fluid to synthetic fixed that..
and it's been fine ever since.
