hemi 5.7
Well, where do I start. I have a 2017 longhorn Laramie, 5.7 hemi....love my truck. BUT......in February of this year after many of my coworkers kept telling me they smell antifreeze around my truck. I checked coolant and it was somewhat low....only 25,000 miles on it. So like a dummy I decided to add coolant ..I added wrong type of coolant, so before I started it up I called dodge and they towed it to the local dealership, they flushed and did pressure tests ....did not find anything. Charged me 120 for flushing out system, they kept telling me there was no issues....I am losing coolant some way I told them, he just kept saying there was no issues. Well, about two months went by, small drops on driver side near radiator and strong smell of antifreeze I decided to take it to a different dealership, they did pressure tests again nothing but they thought it was a hose , tightened clamp, a few months later, smell and drops come back, took it back in September, pressure tests nothing again, but replaced radiator cap.[emoji848] two days later small drops , driver side ...look down by radiator above drain (pics attached ), coolant on frame and side of radiator, so they replaced radiator last Tuesday, two days later same damn thing same area! What the hell! I am not a mechanic but this is old ! HELP!cc25151a9743f79ff5281e9f56a870ae.jpg
