Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 136,000 miles

IT'S LEAKING AGAIN!!!

If I get it replaced again it will be the third one, and the last time it was the seal on the thermostat. I'm tired of taking the truck back to the shop for leaking antifreeze.

problem #1

Ram 1500 SLT 5.7L Hemi

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles

My water pump started leaking, not from the traditional locations, but rater, where the pump attaches to the engine. The entire 0-ring style gasket was compromised and coolant was passing right by it. After changing out the pump, the gasket was dried out and beginning to crumble away. The pump is fine, so now I have a spare.
