2015 RAM V6 Penstar , Drove home tonight and heard a bubbling sound in the cab,popped the hood and you could hear it at the radiator, overflow tank was filled almost to the top
(When cooled back to normal level )
Started truck back up temp hit around 220 and NO fan and Active Air shutters were still closed !
I my ride to Mass. yesterday it did stay in the 210/225 range but never heard the bubbling sound !
To dark now to check the fuse, any ideas on anything else to check ?

Thanks

I'm guessing bad thermostat if it was bubbling over. Kind of strange the fan wouldn't come on . Maybe a sensor?

Thanks for your reply! It did not bubble over but you could hear it in a few seconds after shutting the truck off ! The overflow tank was expanded close to the top. Went down after cooled off ! Does the sensor control the fan and shutters ? The shutter was closed and did not open ! I will take it to the dealer (I do have extended warranty but looking for opinions to see if I get BSed by the dealer lol.. So far they have been good

Dropped my truck off at the dealer today :O And go figure the ride over was normal and the Active air Shutter was opened when I checked :O So when they said everything worked I knew i was not being BS lol There is a update for the temperature module or whatever you call it lol And since the temp did go up to 230* they recommended replacing the thermostat ,and guess what they have to order the stat :O, Glad I have a warranty, So pick it back up tomorrow and will see if all goes well
