Absolutely the best comment!Tell us how you really feelDamn that was funny,best comment of the day
They are all making $hit products plagued with problems. They aren't being held accountable by the consumers. People just "forget" that a brand screwed them long and hard and go buy another because of some misplaced brand loyalty. Quality is a thing of the past. Product integrity died with it. If I thought I had an alternative to this RAM that was better, it'd be down the river already. I've been through GM, Ford, and Toyota.
In that scenario it absolutely makes sense to put cooling into play for all fluids. I've even seen brake fluid exchangers that impart cooling (race cars). But a half ton pickup? HARD PASS.
That inline 6 was/is a beast. They run forever and ever with basic maintenance. I've seen them well into the 300k range running just about everything "as built" from the factory.
Those were actual coolers,this isn't a cooler,it heats the diff fluid,it's not designed to cool the fluid.
It is a heat exchanger. It will heat the diff fluid when the temp is below the coolant temp, and it will help to cool the diff fluid if/when it rises above coolant temp. I'd be curious to see what the inside of the diff cover looks like to get an idea of how effective it might be as a head exchanger.
They claim it as a heat exchanger,but i'm like you,i'd like to see the inside of the cover,as i doubt it has a big enough surface area to actually reduce the diffs temps.Throw in the fact the engines thermostat on paper should be keeping the diff at 203 or higher,which is a bit on the high side for diff fluid in my opinion
I don't care what anyone says those 351w's were bulletin proof in 90's fords, oh Canada. I had 3 and my top vehicles ever up there with my ram.
The 80's and 90's roller cammed 302's were another bulletproof engine.
My brother had a regular cab shortbox 89 with the 4.9/300 six with a 5 speed in it,he couldn't kill it as a kid,and he tried,lol. He'd probably still be driving it,if it hadn't be totalled when somebody ran into it while parked on the street.
That's the upper end to be sure, and not something I would ask to have on my truck. So glad mine doesn't.
I'm waiting to see if the rear end warrenty claims increase because they're heating the fluid,lol

Hi @JHoward,
