Yes sir I did when i got a new radiator about 6 weeks ago. Thanx for the tip though.

Thanx GW. Ran it all day today. Outside temp around 75. No water loss... . no temps above 200. Looks like you had it nailed.

HEy GW... . checked water level. It was down. Added almost one gallon to radiator and brought up the reservoir to the line. I live in South Texas and it was 70 degrees today. Was running the AC.

OK GW. You da Man. Gonna give it another hour and check. Sounds like a plan. Thanks a heap. Randy

forgot, no I do not know the TSTAT brand but it was put in by a Dodge Dealer back in Feb along with new radiator

Hey hello again GW. Yeah the water level is the first thing I checked. Pulled right over 5 blocks down. Reservoir up to the mark. Shut it down and let it cool. Then drove about one mile. Temp spiked waaay up almost to redline for like half a second... then shot back down and stayed there for 5...

PS... . was running AC this time and not heater

Hello again. Well, thought I had fixed the problem. put in a new radiator and thermostat also. Ran fine for a few weeks. Yesterday started running hot again. Took it back to shop. Mech said it was the little hose back by the turbine leaking. Put in a new one. Just left the shop... which closed...

Many thanks to all of you. You sure do a great service to people. Cant find the leak so guess will take it in to shop.

Well you guys appear to be right. Turns out I was 1 1/2 gallons low on coolant. Filled it up and checked for leaks but did not see anything. Funny though... . was at a friends house last night and he called and said he had found a puddle where I had parked and that it looked like transmission...

yes the truck does run hotter that usual. could be low on coolant didnt think of that. will check

Thanks GW. I have a 2006 2500 bought used at 41,000mph now has 55,000. Dont drive it a lot... . trying to save it. Just plain stock. Not sure about thermostat... . think I changed it but cant remember.

Searched all the forums but cant find this problem. Here's the deal. Going down the road fine with cab heater on. Blowing hot. After 20 miles or so heater blows COLD air. Engine temp gauge showing running hot. Stop. Wait. Startup and run... . back to heater running ok and low engine temps... ...

My truck is a 06 2500. Bought it used with 41,000 last year. About a month after purchase both the ABS and brake lights came on. Would drive 40 miles or so and they would come on. Other times might be 100 miles. Shut the truck off and wait a while... . lights out. Might drive another 40 miles...

Kingpin weight Well I believe you are right in a sense. You can find out the empty weight of the trailer just by weighing it. You will be unable to determine the "Kingpin" weight unless you weigh it that way. 99. 99% of people only go by GVWR rating which means squat to me. If a trailer weighs...
