I think what you are seeing is the result of saturation of your mixture of concentrate VS waterNo, I know what's going on. It's condensation, plain and simple. I only said I have carried jugs of coolant behind the seats of every truck/vehicle I've owned and never even heard of this happening before. That's all.
All my life I have carried extra coolant in my vehicles. New or not, should a small leak occur and I don't catch it until it's down a quart I have the coolant to refill it until I can get it to a mechanic. It's happened before and the odds are it will happen again. Of course, there is nothing I can do if a blow a hose and lose it all, but I can't carry enough to cover that contingency anyway.I feel the question we should be asking is what is the reasoning for needing an accessible jug of coolant 24/7 in a new truck?
I understand what you're saying, and it makes a bit of sense, but the purple MOPAR coolant isn't ethylene glycol. Also, there are no dissolved solids as I used distilled water.I think what you are seeing is the result of saturation of your mixture of concentrate VS water
Coolant is used to manage the temperature of water and if you have been mixing the coolant the exactly same , the variable would be either the concentration of the coolant you purchased or the percentage % of dissolved solids in the water you used.

Specific gravity chart
Ok the previous chart was to give the idea of the concentrations and not an accurate unit of measurement of all coolants but the point is specific gravity is a way to measure the coolant you buy against what you’re actually gettingI understand what you're saying, and it makes a bit of sense, but the purple MOPAR coolant isn't ethylene glycol. Also, there are no dissolved solids as I used distilled water.
Here's my point again. The jug was condensing water out of the air in the cab of my truck. I ascertained that this was the cause of the water in my tray, and not a window leak. I have never heard of that happening before, and I have carried coolant behind my seat for decades. I removed the jug and set it in my garage until I could figure out how to fix the issue and in the 10 days it has been sitting there it hasn't condensed one drop of water from the air. I just find that rather odd.
I thought of that, but you would think that in 35 years of truck ownership and all of them with a jug of coolant behind the seat I would have stumbled upon that at least a few times.Maybe you just never noticed condensation on previous jugs in previous trucks?
I do as well under my rear seat because I found wetness under there but it does say not to use in a moving vehicle.
Let me ponder that.............no.This is easy to prove. Timelapse a camera of the jug in your truck and we can all watch the magic happen!
