2009 1500 5.7. So looking ahead of time the other day to do an oil change and swap the belt since it is starting a little squeaky sound. Had the truck for about 8 months now. Saw the upper radiator hose was slightly collapsed (engine cold). Check the overflow and nearly nothing in there. I figured it sucks back what is there while cooking as it should, and there just isn’t much left in the overflow now. Pop the cap, radiator is full, can tell if it is a yellow or green color but looks like one of those two.
Reading the manual, says HOAT coolant. And reading enough to no want to mix types.
I know the previous owner said he had the radiator replaced, just never sure if a shop put in what is factory recommended or something else. I’ve sent previous owner a message to see if he knows or at least what shop did his work so I can try and contact them.
So long, but I guess the question is there a way to test what is in the truck right now. Color doesn’t seem to be reliable since all kinda colors are being used nowadays.
