The life of a Magnum (and 46RE question)

Nice. Is that the computer controlled trans? If so what mods did you have to do to use the OD? I'm sending this 94 van to the scrap yard soon.

RE is a computer-controlled, RH is the non-controlled. '90-'95s had RHs as well as the later 3spd autos while '96-03s had REs in the ODs.

It was so nasty I took pics.

My mom has an 03 3.9 quad cab (because these are probably the last vehicles I will be able to work on without a theoretical physics degree, and $45,000 in software and special tools).

The day after I replaced my radiator, her's separated at the core to tank crimps.

The newer rads are pretty bad. This is where I think most of the head crack issues come from in the Mags- rads separating, draining, and people continuing to drive them.

They're the last things I really like the handling of, some of the newer stuff is actually easier to work on but there's plenty of it that even stock I do not feel handles safely and wouldn't trust anyone I'd feel responsible for to drive one.
