I glued screening to the fresh air vent openings. Sure did but JAG1 then helped me replace the roof on my 5th wheel. So, we helped each other out to get some major projects done.

Nice winter day today, sunny with a high temp of 81°F. Tomorrow will be in the high 70s. Still no snow.

You're correct. I just went and looked at my heat exchanger and it's the same as your son's. The part #12 (5011918AA) in your diagram is the same part number as #2 in the forum parts look up diagram. They look totally different from each other, so something is amiss there. It is available but for $546. https://www.ebay.com/itm/402108396391 Part #11 (5014171AA) in your diagram is the same as part #4 in the forum parts look up diagram. It's still available starting at $294. https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-tube-oil-cooler~5014171aa.html At those prices I'd find someone to bend me some new ones or in a pinch, get some soft copper tubing and make my own.

No, that diagram is from the 2001-2002 24 valve PDF in the website's 24 valve article section. The part that Mike refers to above is #4 (905011918AA) in the diagram.

That parts diagram does not match the parts diagram in the parts look up section for a 2001 on page 126. Where did you get that diagram? https://mopar1973man.com/external-media/pdf/2002Ramparts.pdf#view=FitB&page=107

A few years back I helped a member with a wire diagram bypassing the vent control of the AC and install a manual on/off switch for the compressor. I can dig it up if anyone is interested.

Snowpack is 141% above normal but CA is still in a drought, and they keep building houses.

There's sunshine in west Oregon?

Years ago, the rule of thumb was one weeks wages or 25% of a family income went to pay for housing. Now it takes 33% of income to do the same thing.

I would and have added one. https://mopar1973man.com/cummins/articles.html/24-valve-2nd-generation_50/53_axles-suspension-brakes/adding-inline-power-steering-filter-with-system-flush-r486/

Just went to the cheapest station here and put 4.85 gallons in a 5-gallon container @4.499/gal. There went $22.00. I looked at 12 gas stations in my area. San Marcos/Escondido, CA, and found the average price @ @4.729/gal with the low of $4.499 and high of 4.999.

And what medical school did he graduate from? I'm glad to hear that despite the governments mishandling of the situation, in that state, you and yours made it through that ordeal. October 31 my son, who lives with use, came down with the CCP virus. Neither my wife, granddaughter, nor I got it and none of us has had the jab. Now at my daughter's house, she, her husband, and two boys got it. None of them were vaccinated and none went to the hospital.

May be the heater blend door actuator is not in sync with the dash heater control and need to be recalibrated.

The coolant sensor may be bad and needs to be tested. The sensor is a thermistor and the voltage to the sensor is 5 volts. When the temperature is low the resistance increases with less voltage going back to the PCM. With an open circuit in either the sensor or it's wiring no voltage is getting back to the PCM which will give a reading of -40 and no temp gauge movement. To test check the ohm resistance of the circuit. The resistance will decrease as the temp increases.

I've used Dri-Slide cable lube with good succuss. I get it a motorcycle shop, but you might find it at a bicycle shop. https://www.drislide.com/products/drislide-bike-aid-moly-lubricant-w-needle https://www.ebay.com/itm/313724995806?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-117182-37290-0&mkcid=2&itemid=313724995806&targetid=1262779895929&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9031295&poi=&campaignid=13920181166&mkgroupid=124965446876&rlsatarget=pla-1262779895929&abcId=9300614&merchantid=459449264&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlMCOBhCZARIsANLid6aK0t8OcgblFYVA4nnZ9LnaloW0g1-EfGc00juEON_cZyKEA28uWYMaAosXEALw_wcB

At -4°, cover on/cover off, I don't think it matters; everything is cold. Cruise control cable would not affect it.

99 QCSB Laramie SLT 4x4, Skyjacker suspension lift, Cummins 24v, 47RE trans, BD Diesel Performance adjustable track bar, Redhead Steering box, and AFE stage 1 air cleaner. I didn't know, your signature says "47RE trans". You should correct it.

Either throttle cable but most likely transmission shift cable froze in its sheath cover and thawed when the trans warmed a little. Since the cove is off, pull on the cable now to see how it feels. It should pull smoothly. The next time it happens, with the engine not running, you can check it.

That's a two for. Fix leach fields and get firewood.

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I do that too along with the Critter Ridder. I use a piece of 2X4 to keep the hood open about 4". An air filter box is a critter condo. Mice and rats just love them. Over the years I've found numerus nests in them. They also use them for food storage; I even found one filled with green poison bait pellets.

The top connector has a tab you push down as you pull them apart. The bottom connector has the white lever that you pull up on; this will sperate the connector. I did a lot of rabbit hunting when I live in Rhode Island.

I feel your pain. I have an S60 Volvo in my back yard That I'm saving for my granddaughter that the rabbits were munching on. They've taken out an O2 sensor, cam position sensor, and a transmission speed sensor. Now I try to keep them at bay with a spray I get from Home Depot called Havahart Critter Ridder 3145. I spray the wires about once every two weeks. You may want to invest in a terminal removal tool set. They are less than $20 and will make the job quick and easy. There are also a few how to videos on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=how+to+depin+a+connector
