Water pump ... My fan was coming on more frequently ... Had a leaky water pump. Replaced at 66,726 miles. Have over 68K on it now and fan doesn't come on as often.

Thanks for all the help. It turns out I need a new fan motor and assembly. All under warranty. About the OD, best to turn it off while off road?

All over drive is in all honesty is a final drive gear (aka fifth gear or 6th) and if your going that fast offroading your a mad man! Lol I am always under 20 when I am offroading so I'll stay in 2wd untel I get stuck then 4lo. 4 high is for speeds above 35 ( on slick or snowy roads ) if I understand correctly
