coolant

Hi all I just got a '24 6.7 one ton. Nice truck. Had a '98 5.9 I put 250K miles on, so I know a little. Seems to me that car manufacturers come out with maintenance schedules that will keep a car running until the warranty expires. Then there are folks like me (and a lot of you) that do...

Just bought a gem of a Ram! 04 2500 with 153k mikes in pristine condition. Been doing my routine maintenance stuff on it. This week is engine coolant week! only problem is…the coolant is red. Besides not knowing what in the world is in there, I can’t find any coolant that is red except...

Was so excited yesterday in finding the Gates belt that I forgot about coolant. What was in there was less than 5 yo and perfect but I lost a lot of it. This is just a heads up............... Zerex G05 comes in two varieties, 50/50 diluted and ready to use, and Concentrate, requiring dilution...

2017 Ram 3500 4x4 w 6.7 and Aisin. 107,000 miles. Apology in advance fir this super long post, but I want to give as many details/clues as possible. Here goes: Bought the truck last summer to haul my truck camper. Had low coolant a few times. I took it to a shop before my current trip (from...

Can I possibly receive feedback on the subject engine coolant for use in a 12 Valve Cummins?

Since I had the water pump recall done I can almost always smell coolant when I get out of the truck after driving it. I was talking to another guy who just had his water pump done recently and the same thing. There is no signs of leaks on either trucks anywhere, I even had the dealer check it...

2002, 5.9l HO 2500 4x4. 210k on the engine, Manual trans. Truck has been us d as a daily driver the last 3 years with occasional trailers, nothing over 10k pulls in the last couple years. And the family has had the truck for the last 15 years and I’ve had it since 70k Miles(2007) 2days prior...

I had to replace my water pump today on my`07 (5.9L) that has 65k miles on it. My truck has not been my daily driver since June 2014. It is primarily a garage queen these days, so I suspect the pump failed partly due to lack of use. The bearings were fine, the pump was not noisy, the pulley...

While on the way to work yesterday (9/24), I was 9 miles into a 10 mile commute when I noticed my temperature gauge was about in the red. I was driving with the windows down and there was no smell or sign of a hot engine. I pulled over, shut her down and opened the hood. None of the radiators...

This is a pretty simple maintenance procedure, but I thought I would throw my . 02 out here for everyone to read. First off the service manual has the procedure, and it really is quite simple. In addition to the coolant flush I changed the thermostat. That procedure can also be found in...

Assuming that all the cooling components are working correctly: 1. At what coolant temp should the fan clutch lock-up? 2. What is the best operating temp for the engine? Does it like it better down around 180? 3. What is the maximum coolant temp that I want to tolerate for long distances...
