Thanks for the add! IMG_1203.jpegI just picked up this 2004 5.7. I have a rough idle, and it doesn’t like to stay running. I have a p2305,2311,and p2317 code. I’ve replaced all plugs and two coils that seemed to be bad and still can’t figure out the rough idle or codes. Freeze plugs are good. Cylinder 4&6 was plugs were clean compared to the rest. Any insight?
These are the only code I have. Battery had been unplugged for a few months before I got it.

Also it has coolant literally pouring from the exhaust without the engine running. Could it be a plenum? Or am I looking at something like a cracked block or head? also theres no coolant or water in the oil.

it does have the newer style of coils on it as well.

If coolant is coming out of the exhaust thats it you need to pull the cylinder heads have them checked for cracks/warp or just replace them they are not hard to get since its a older ram nothing else can cause coolant to come out of exhaust like that I would stop running it.

Going by the area the coolant is leaking from,it looks like it's leaking from above your header.
Check the heater core and the hoses going to it on the firewall

Should show up in oil or oil in coolent if cylinder walls or pistons have any cracking.
