I would suggest doing the few simple things like the full flush and coolant change. Go 70-80% water, 30-20% dexcool and the appropriate amount of "water wetter" or "purple ice" for the complete mix, drop in the OEM thermostat, verify that you hydraulic fan turns on at both low and high speeds...

If your engine is operating in the 190-210 range. That is completely normal and in the design range for an all aluminum engine with this type of output. If it can run more towards the 190 end and you can keep intake temps below 104 deg., it will keep making great thrust! ;) Cheers!

Don't stick your head in the sand Shorty. The SRT-10 radiator is WAY oversized. Your issue is elsewhere. Maybe even a simple full system flush with higher water content will solve it. KISS method.

Shorty's information states he has rising temperatures at highway speeds. Especially above 70 mph.

2nd sway bar?

Shorty, mileage is not the issue unless you have not kept up on maintenance. GO BACK TO OEM THERMOSTAT and slow down flow through your radiator. Hot engine bay does NOT help your situation. Put the block off panels back on and regain "diffusion" cooling... (this is where the air SLOWS down...

Too much misinformation here in this reply. The good news is that you retained your grill block off panels. VERY HUGE in many aspects of performance!! Oil weight however, is determined by the OEM based off engine clearances and DESIGNED oil FLOW for the engine. If your "package" is as you state...

Shorty; I have a few questions.... Are your Headers coated? Did you remove the grill block off panels? Are you STILL running 15W50 oil? Do you know your coolant mix ratio? 1st. thing, a 170 thermostat does NOT make your overall package run cooler. It could cause the opposite. It will stay...

In addition to ALL the good suggestions in this thread, be sure to inspect the rear leaf spring bushings. The rubber will rot and cause slop. If so, the springs will not be able to keep the rear axle perpendicular to the chassis. In my experience, there was TOO MUCH rear steer even in my low...

After reading all this and so many posts like it, I am so glad I sold mine. I really enjoyed the truck. However, the looming costs and headaches of part replacements was something I was not interested in. Especially when it comes to parts that are no longer available. What a shame. Good luck...

This is an excellent explanation re; headers for our trucks. IMO, you would need to change the camshaft to work together with overall cylinder pressure and the chosen header. Otherwise, the stock manifolds are excellent. Especially if you massage them and have them jet hot coated.

Have you tried to talk w/ Torrie at Unleashed?

This company will not be close. HOWEVER, they will make you U-bolts that will be stronger and to your specification. Then you could have them shipped. OR, find a similar company close to you..... http://www.valleyspringservice.com/index.php?main_page=index Good Luck... Cheers!

Unfortunately, most of these trucks were "rode hard and put away wet". Ignorance on oil and oil level, causes for cavitation, dry starts, improper warm up before high RPM use and over revving are many reasons why second and third owners like yourself have these issues. Besides the fact that the...

I have never had an oil consumption issue with my engine. Like Rottenronnie stated, many usage and maintenance factors. I have been very meticulous with oil and changes. NO dry starts and have the Monster RX catch can. Funny it never gets much oil in it ;)

I can still get the Scorpion Zero's at Tire Rack and Discount tire?!?

PRICING UPDATE !! If your interested in my truck, you also know what it is and that it is a clean, well maintained and properly driven example you will find. The choice mods just make it even better overall (see signature). Come and see it and take it home. I will not take a dollar less than...
