Reference this thread, there's some comments about the heat issue and engine design that play a factor in the high temps we see.
And please do chime in with any ideas that you may have to correct these issues.

Ridiculous huh?
You know what I don't understand about the rebel? For completely purposeful use of the "offroad" designed truck why did they not at least have the option of a inner bumper mounted winch like the power wagon?
Well I stand corrected. Here at my "local(ish)" dealer, they have a rebel on the lot with none other than the v6

You have to do a little digging in the 3.0L section and or Dodge section but everything is there.
They also have a replacement oil filter housing only about 30$. Good deal.
One for my old Mercedes was 5 times that!
Just found a great deal on our fuel filters! only $22 on sale! Cheapest I've found anywhere else was $36+ and the dealer is $40+
So everybody stock up now. :)

So if I replace it I have a spray in liner on the...
Sold my 2001 Mercedes Benz CLk320 outright with 135k miles and bought the ram a month later. Absolutely love it.
Never reset the trip A and look at this mileage!!! Hand calculated works out about the same. Almost 500 hours.
Topper with kennel and two big dogs in back. Couldn't see too well to notice. I don't use any one method I've never backed into anything before like this but too late. Oops is all I can say
I know I almost put the receiver I had in straight onto the pole. I'd have been happier. Wasn't going fast at all but using mirrors not camera.... damn park sensors didn't go off till it hit.
No it's gonna get fixed. But I had high deductible when it's my fault. I'm sure like a 3k insurance job.
Priced out parts it's not bad at all. I expected much worse. Only 270 for a painted bumper from Dodge, 479 for a painted to match tailgate from eBay, new emblems and a tailgate cap probably...
