coolant leak 2006

[Ghosterbear]

I have a coolant leak that "dribbles" about a shot glass of pure pink coolant after every run of over 25 miles. Coolant is under right side at rear of engine compartment (looks to be almost directly under coolant bottle).

Dealer and I have looked and cannot find where coolant is coming from, has anyone had a similar problem?

Annoying but not serious yet.

Check the small coolant line just rearward and slightly under the turbo. . it is a known issue on these trucks. something to do with a clamp that relaxes or something.

There have been several threads on this issue. Seems that there was a thread that had pics of the suspect clamp. I THINK Dodge has a different hose/clamps for this.

Go to Cummins, much cheaper.



Here is the thread.

Thanks for the reply! It sounds like that is my problem so I will check it out and replace the hose and clamps. You were right there are several threads on this issue along with Dodge P/N's.

i have stopped 4 of them from leaking by just tightning them. it will seem like you are going to strip it out but works
