I’m trying to locate my coolant leak (2014 RAM Ecodiesel, 210k, light tune and egr removed). I have the stuff dripping off the pan and the;Trans pan, but it looks like most of it is coming from the three way valve to transmission heater line. Not only is the heat shielding wrap on that line soaked but it looks like the side of the bell housing next to it has been jetted with hot coolant. Is that line a common leak point? Has anybody done a write up on replacing it?
I’ve been reading around the web and watching you tubes, it looks like the coolant leak most commonly found is the turbo cooler conveniently located under the intake manifold. Is that turbo line accessible/visible with an inspection camera?
I haven’t driven the truck in several weeks because of this, I’m going to have to fix it soon and then decide if I want to continue on with VM Motori issues or change to a different truck. As much as I love the truck it takes a whole lot of 30mpg miles to make up for a $250 heater hose or much worse. The 5.7 hemi gets close to 20 without the drama…
