    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Man I'm not as tech savvy as you but it sounds like your damn sure on to something here. So I'm assuming the water pump bore needs to be filed down or opened up more to accommodate a 5.7 thermostat and simply wire a load resistor to the ends of the pencil heater wires?? Can the water pump be...

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 hemi water drain plugs on the block

    My concern is getting as much of the cleaner out as possible. I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving any type of cleaner in the system because I am about to make 800 mile drive shortly after the flush. All I can find about block drains is that the driver side plug is a pain in the ass to get to.

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 hemi water drain plugs on the block

    Can anyone tell me where the water drain plugs are located on my 6.4? I want to do a complete flush but I keep hearing that the driver side plug is a P.I.T.A. to get to. My plan is to run cascade through the system to try and clear as much junk out of the system as I can. Shop put green coolant...

    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Man I wish I would have signed up for these forums sooner. The good thing is I tied into the fan connection so one day when I have the time I can plug it back in and try this. That makes all the sense in the world now. The mechanics that I talked to all couldn't figure the low side fan out and...

    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Ok so it only takes about a mile down the road for it to get warmed up. It really doesn't take long to get to a operating temp. And after it hits 210° or 212° it drops to about 197° then back up. Longest I've drove it was about 1.5 hrs since I've done all the work and after its been running for...

    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Jetrinka. Thank you your awesome. Thats the kind of feedback I need and thays exactly what I was thinking. I know the fans aren't supposed to be on all the time but I had to install an aftermarket fan controller because 2 mechanics and the almighty dealer couldn't figure out why my fans weren't...

    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Yes. I did try that and it would never get up to temp. I drove it down the road and even cut my fan controller off so the fans wouldn't kick on and it still wouldn't reach temp. It was cool outside but even still I havent hit operating temps in over a week since I replaced the thermostat. I am...

    2018 Ram 2500 6.4 hemi thermostat issues

    Ok guys and gals forgive my ignorance but I'm hoping someone here can help me out. My truck lost a fan back in August (of course it was August) and it overheated on me. Long story short I trailered it home and started going through it. My water pump is good, new thermostat, new coolant temp...

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 cooling issues.

    Yes that was my experience. And im like you those temps are crazy to me. I've run equipment my whole life and 185 to 200 is fairly normal so I have had a hard time getting used to this. My main concern is the hoses and the components getting hot. I recently replaced my upper hose because it was...

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 cooling issues.

    Yea bro and that does make me feel a lot better. I guess what has me worried is the unknowns. Stop leak in the system. But you guys telling me that those temps aren't too bad makes me feel 10 x better. Especially in 30° temps. What's odd is I noticed my truck seemed to get to 185 190 quicker on...

    I'm going to take you guys word for it. Just not a fan of all that heat.

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 cooling issues.

    No the fans apparently quit working while I was hauling my camper. After hauling it home I tested the fans and realized they weren't working. 220 isn't that hot but when I'm unloaded and its in the 50's and 60's that kinda concerns me as to what it's going to do when I hook up a 8k camper to the...

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 cooling issues.

    Yes sir it is. Worse invention ever made. I want to just replace everything at this point. But I may try to do a chemical flush first. Its not running too bad now.

    2018 ram 2500 6.4 cooling issues.

    Yea I've had a motorad and a mopar. May not have been the thermostat at that point though. I was chasing all kinds of issues. I had to do a head job because it overheated and when the mechanics dug into it they found a ton of stop leak. They said the other owners must have dumped at least 2...
