Bought this 2019 Ram 1500 Classic 4x4 from a local dealer at 54500 miles. I drove the truck for about 700ish miles before bubbling sounds started coming up that was not there before when idle. Temps jump from 198/208 to 220-230 within 3 minutes if idle and bubbling starts. Now just driving and parking it'll bubble. I took it to a dodge dealership who said it was normal then took it to the dealer I bought it from they also said it was normal so I decided to do a coolant flush and used Mopars Purple OAT coolant and their coolant flush cleaner they had per trucks manual. I also burped/bled the system as well and had no issues until 200-250 miles after this coolant flush in which the sounds started again. Please see the videos below. I also took it to firestone this most recent time who did a pressure test and said everything looks good and that the Bubbling sound is normal and can be common in cars. I've driven plenty of vehicles and put on near 1k miles on this truck before this started and I've never encountered this; so I don't believe this is normal. I've topped off coolant and check everyday to see if it'll take more and it isn't. I'm lost, is this normal?
P.S. I've went through multiple forums about this issue and it seems common issues if this isn't normal are head gasket (haven't had any sweet smells, or white smoke), air in system (have burped/bled multiple times no more air comes out), bad thermostat (when turning on heat temps drop from 220-230 to 198-215), bad pressure cap (already replaced).
