Is there any way I could check to make sure that is what’s wrong?

Brought it to the shop it was the turbo cooling line and a slight leak in the radiator both replaced but my coolant is sitting low after topping off once with a whole gallon it was full when I picked it up I made sure to check it’s not overheating but it isn’t staying up to the full line I’m wondering if they didn’t pressure test it before they released it back to me

EGR Cooler?
Agreed if you can't see the leak or fluid it might be the EGR cooler.

A knowledgable service department at a dealer would know this...

What is the function of the 3 way valve for coolant going to the transmission?
got code the other day, so I purchased one to install.
Assuming the transmission needs coolant to keep temperatures down, so here is my question.
Why not delete the 3 way valve, and just put in a 3 way tee. That way the transmission can get coolant all the time? Would that be a problem? My transmission temps never has gotten any hotter than the radiator temp.
just wondering if someone could explain this for me.
thank you,

I believe the EGR cooler failure is a recall Item on the Ram 1500 eco diesel. So even if you are out of warranty it should be replaced by dodge at no cost to you. Call them CFC canada of the dodge affiliate
