Sounds like either a bad head gasket, cracked head, or block. Also you may want to go to a shop and have them check the transmission and radiator coolant lines. You could have trans fluid getting into your coolant.

water pump BRG, must change pump before it starts leaking . make sure its the fan pulley that is wobbling and not another idler or adjuster pulley.

Either the filter for the transmission is plugged or the front clutch is burned. A bad torque converter can do it too.

Check to see if it is not your 'idle speed motor'. About the size of your thumb on the back side of the throttle body. Also, and I know it sounds simple, check your air cleaner.

code p0711 refers to transmission fluid temperature(TFT) sensor---range/performance problem===causes --Wiring ---TFT sensor replace the sensor.

check the codes first.

Need to know what transfer case it has. Most t-cases have synchronized gearing...meaning shift on the fly. A quick test is drive at less than 5 mph, and shift, no gear clash means you have synchros. ****This is only from 2wd to 4 high. 4 low you MUST be stopped(doesn't matter what gear its in).****

Swap and connect. *****Make sure you disconnect the battery first******

There should also be a unit called the electronic flash module / unit. It should be somewhere under the driver's side dash.. unfortunately I do not know where in particular

You need to get your tranny rebuilt. The motor that is already in your truck is set up for that Tranny so i wouldnt change it at all as it would cost alot more then you need to spend to do it. . I also would go to Mr.Transmission as they do great work on trannys.

I would start with your spark plug wires. A temp. fix would be to spray the wires good with WD-40. If it's not that it could be the distributor cap. And if all that fails then I would say the relay.

Have you run it with cap off and full to watch for flow when thermostat opens? WIth heater on as well, to bleed system properly. If your not seeing the flow at normal operating temperature when thermostat should be, or is opening, then you probably have a water pump problem.
