You are absolutely right about the electric fan. Many don't notice when they are bad on the models that also have the mechanical fan. I like your beer truck in the background too. Your 09 is in great condition.
How much life u get out your battery???? Interstate last me just over 6 years. Just had it change compared to auto parts batteries that last 4 years Thanks to watching 👀
@@DanielGarcia-zz9eg the most I've ever gotten out of a battery is 3 years but I live in Florida and that's the most I've ever gotten out of any battery in any car because it's so damn hot down here. I also run power inverters and stuff off my truck quite a bit so they have a rough life too. The AGM batteries would just suddenly die and they were nearly impossible to jump off lead acid batteries will at least give you some warning.
Newer trucks 5th generation run about 200 to 205. They run a bit hotter. On my 09 I noticed for over 14 yrs it has always run 195. One day I notice when at the drive thu it was getting hot. I call the dealership and they told me 205 is normal. Idk about that. Then I notice I haven't heard the fan turn on in awhile I do have the 22 model which I'm guessing the classic has the same engine, just different body style and 205 is normal. 212, I would check that coolant and see if that fan comes on. Just to be safe. My uncle had a 4th Gen, never check the coolant and ended up getting a new engine. Little things that we miss or never check could cost thousands

I also never use agm batteries. I use lead acid on my ram and get a lot more time out of them.
