Default Fail-safe Cooling System

This is awesome! Loss of coolant causes truck to fire on 4 even cylinders and then alternating between odd cylinders ... great read if you're like me and did not know what this feature is. I love it!!!

Yes great feature. Have it on the 2000 xlt also. I had an Intake manifold leaking about a year ago and the fail safe kicked in about half mile from the house.

Yeah, that's what the article calls it. What a 'cool' (pun intended) feature!
