ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
PEELING PAINT FROM FRONT GRILLE ASSEMBLY. ALSO AT 10600 MILES THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD. BOTH UPSHIFTS AND DOWNSHIFTS CAUSE A NOISE AND A SLIGHT HESITATION, FOLLOWED BY A VERY HARSH SHIFT. AND THE ENGINE SEEMS TO ENGAGE THE ELECTRIC HEAT/EXCHANGER FAN ASSEMBLY CAUSING A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF CAB NOISE. NO TEMPERATURE CHANGE HAS BEEN DETECTED WITH THE DASH GAUGES WHEN THE ELECTRIC RADIATOR HAS ENGAGED. VERY NOISY. THERE WILL BE A FOLLOW UP LETTER AFTER THE TRUCK IS TAKEN TO THE DEALER.
