After having lifter failure on my ram 2500, my dealership installed a new 6.4 engine. It seems like they didnt bleed the cooling system correctly or check the heater.
My oil temps climb to 238 while my coolant temp stays under 220. Also my heater blows cold, the heater lines on passenger side are cold. Radiator upper hose is hot, and i hear gurgling when i turn off the truck.
Can i bleed the air like an older chevy ls1 by removing the coolant resivoir cap and turning the heater on? Im hesitant to try this without advice as i read that it is supposed to be vaccuum filled?
This is super annoying on a new engine, but the dealership wont call me back (been over a week) or work friday-sunday. Its been 2 weeks and no one has asked how their engine repair is going. Bizaarre..
>>How is this possible? Thermo must be totally wrong. Or the coolant sensor is in a bad spot.
