2005 dodge Dakota 199009 miles 4,7 v8 so I just replaced my lower radiator hose and was wondering if it’s supposed to be cooler than the upper the old was kinked pretty and she was running slightly warm “on the middle line “ I just bled the system of the air and drove it around and running at the temp it should so is it normal for that hose to be slightly cooler or am I tripping because it is a brand new hose that is thicker and hence forth why I’m not feeling the heat

2005 dodge Dakota 198k miles Slt 4.7 v8 magnum I’m in need of a spare tire and went to the pull and save and actually found a regular OEM rim with a tire on it which was no good but I need the rim went to put it in the towage and the flat thing was way to big for the hole so I returned it like a dummy when I could of just strapped it in the bed with a chain and lock . Are there other options i can use for a spare rim and tire 🛞

So I’m replacing the valve cover tomorrow and I have a snapped bolt 2nd bottom toward the back of the engine I do have a cheap extractor kit to attempt to get it out with it being a tight and REALLY WOULD RATHER NOT pull the head off due to money and not that mechanical enough to pull the head off my question would be if it’s not leaking from that bolt could I just leave and still intsall the new cover ?
