Another radiator leak thread, this the season
Be careful. In the parts look up the diesel shows only one radiator, part #52030191AB. The gas engine section shows one without cooling line fittings and three with the fittings; all with different part numbers than the diesel radiator.

Wonder if anyone will bite
Kelly Blue Book is just a guide and not the Bible of what a vehicle is worth. Like now, when the cost of fuel goes up no one wants a gas guzzler. I remember with the last OPEC oil embargo, 1979-1980, you couldn't give a new Cadilac away but the Blue Book said they were thousands Everyone wanted one of those little Japanese cars; Datsuns and Toyotas. I saw it twice, new Caddys on the side of the road burning most likely for the insurance money. Then there are vehicles on the show room floor that sell for more than the monroney label. So, a vehicle is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Winter weather - What do you see where your at?
It's not winter yet. Eleven more days to go. Sunny and warm...stay away, don't come here. It doesn't snow at my house.

Radiator leak
Why not, people here in the states, collect and drive the British Hilman vans. There not cool like a V12 XKE or a Jenson-Healey but as we say in the car biz "there's an a$$ for every seat". My work vehicle is a 1990 Astro van EXT van, 4.3L, auto and has over 350K miles on it. Since the van is all most 32 years old, I'm driving a classic.

Melted battery terminal
I'd put my money on a bad/loose connection. That type of connection cause high resistance and high resistance causes heat. The higher the resistance, the more currant to overcome it, the more heat.

It's Getting Worse Out there......
It's called Annett's Mono Village located 13 miles west of Bridgeport, CA on the eastern slopes of the Seirra Navada mountains at 7100 feet. I've been camping and fishing here, with a group of people, since 1994. When I found out that Jag1 comes here the same time as us I invited him to join the gang. We have a great time fishing, hiking, target shooting, metal detecting, sitting around the campfire at night tell tails. Anyone is welcome to join us. https://monovillage.com/ A view from the campgrounds On the other side is Yosemite National Park

2012 Range Rover...... not foreign to me but a right POS
Yes, now I know who it is. She's no twit. She's making a living on the Eco bandwagon.

2012 Range Rover...... not foreign to me but a right POS
Same thing here. In California we pay the highest gas tax and fees at $1.19 per gallon and now the local county government wants to charge 4-6 cents a mile use tax and increase the sales tax 1.5% over the next 3 years to fund their mass transit. Yes, they want us out of our vehicles. Who's the Hobbit schoolgirl?

When Biden Talks about Global Warming...
The Communist Chines are doing it. They jumped ahead of the U S and got the rights to mine rare earth elements from the governments of third world countries. They have zero concern about the environmental impact. They will use and do whatever is needed to make the most money to fund their GDP. That's why here in California there are rolling blackouts, The Government asks us to "Flex your power" and turn off appliances, air conditioners, and car chargers during high demand times. It's close to the same thing they do in a third world country. You and I will contribute like good little cogs. It says so in the New Gree Deal. Drive the tractor and trailer into a compony charging station that is strategically located along the trailers route. Remove the depleted tractor, attach a fully charged tractor and repeat at next station. It will be like what the Pony Express did with horses.

We need to explore the realm of space so that Mars can be colonized, then the human race can be saved when climate change wipes us out. The weather on Mars is lovely this time of year. In space no one needs a vacuum cleaner.

It's Getting Worse Out there......
When the people unite and tell these Progressive/Marxists, parading around as Democrats, "no more" and vote them out. Anyone who voted for Fool Biden and Chuckles Harris should be ashamed of themself for being duped by the Democratic prelection propaganda. They didn't tell the truth then and, surely, will not now. But wait! Is that a glimmer of hope on the horizon? Yes, we're saved. The price of gas dropped 2¢. What did you except when you have a couple of clowns as "leaders of the free world".

It's Getting Worse Out there......
It's okay...the corn was grown in Iowa. That question got me thinking. If the first Chinese Communist Party’s Coronavirus, AKA CORVID-19 virus, was the Alpha (Α) variant and then the next that we were told about was the Delta (Δ) variant and now we have the Omicron (Ο) variant What happened to the other 12 Greek lettered variants. Does the World Health Organization deem them not a problem and if so, why not? My research did find that the Omicron variant was supposed to be the Xi (Ξ) variant, but it could be mistaken for the Chinese Communist Party’s president Xi Jinping and they couldn't have that.

It's Getting Worse Out there......
It's hard to believe that this is in The Smithsonian's new FUTURES exhibit that asks "when we'll see 'single global government'". https://justthenews.com/nation/culture/smithsonians-new-futures-exhibit-asks-public-when-they-think-well-see-single-global I wonder if they will have a contest naming this new "global government" and what would the prize be; a small concrete module with a light bulb and running water? I'll make the first naming submission, "Hand Basket", because at this rate our government is going to hell in one.

Cleaning and reusing injector lines
But do they make a better product? Maybe. It is still best to do research and get recommendations like what is found here.

It's an AUKEY Dash Cam 1080P FHD from Amazon but they don't have it any more. I'm thinking about getting another one that will record both front and rear.

I've been using a dash cam for over 10 years. I'm on my third one. It's cheap insurance.

You can try Google "2002 dodge ram 2500 diesel fuel lines". Here are a few places that have them; didn't see them at DAP. https://www.scheiddiesel.com/engines/dodge-cummins/dodge-5-9l-cummins-98-02-24-valve/fuel-lines/ https://www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2002-dodge-ram_2500-quad_club_cab/fuel/fuel_lines.htmlhttps://puredieselpower.com/dodge-products/2nd-gen-24v-98.5-02/injectors-and-fuel-system-3/fuel-related-parts-2 https://www.ebay.com/p/1127609779

Another new guy from Mtn Home
The fuel pickup sits just off the bottom of the tank, so if full or at 1/8 the pump is always sucking off the bottom.

Parking brake cable help
2001.5 and older have drum brakes; 2001.5 and newer have disk brake pads with separate parking shoes. If you go to Rockauto you'll see both rear drum and rear disk brake parts listed for the 2001 Ram trucks.
