Yes the truck 5.7s and the ones in the durango can be sluggish, but the ones in the cars aren't. But obviously the cars don't count in this situation. I agree.

Is there a tech write up on the super duty trans cooler? The fluid's would worry me. I am the 5th owner of this truck and I know that it was originally from Colorado and we bought it in Houston about 4 years ago, and has been sitting up a year and a half b/c the battery, alternator, tires, registration, and inspection all went out at the same time and I have a work truck to drive.
