Honestly man I'd say no. Dissimlar metal should hold it quite well. Fan bolts I would though.

I was yacking with rodney about it on the phone and decided to not put it back on.

If anything, given they're dissimilar metals, I'd say put some anti-seize on them.

I just sold it last November Jose. I had it for 4 years but with both my vehicles being 4x4 diesels I got tired of going everywhere in a truck and paying fuel prices. It was a great truck it rode better than the Ford and got better mileage. One of the trucks had to go and I have to much time and money in the Ford. For the 1st time since 1985 I now own a car.

And I broke a T-stat bolt.

I got everything sealed up and didn't have enough coolant in the system and over presureized it and blew the seal on the T-stat housing.

Pulled it to re-seal it, shoulda replaced bolts to begin with, and now I gotta find a way to get the mfer out.
