On a 5th gen RAM Dually 6.7 Cummins

Oooook, first off I would like to thank everyone who helped or commented/contributed to my last dilemma where my truck was in limp mode, it actually turns out my transmission was the issue….
ANYWAY, now I am having an issue where the coolant reservoir burps out coolant at high rpm when downshifting, it won’t do it in park at high rpm but only when driving, so here’s what’s been done
Coolant riser delete
Rebuilt 2018 motor with rebuilt flat tappet head
New Suncoast Transmission
New T-4 Smeding Turbo
Metal upper radiator tube conversion
New billet high flow water pump
New Mishimoto Radiator
New fan clutch and fan
Fleets rear of block coolant addition
New reservoir and cap
All new hoses
I’ll include some pictures here below shortly….IMG_2216.jpegIMG_2215.jpegIMG_2220.jpegIMG_2217.jpegIMG_2218.jpegIMG_2219.jpegIMG_2222.jpegIMG_2221.jpeg

I’m not sure what a “rebuilt flat tappet head” entails, but hopefully they checked the unit for cracks.

Last truck I drove that did this, ended up having multiple hairline cracks that ended up venting into the coolant passages in once the truck got hot enough.

Does it still have Cummins on it anywhere ?
 
Test the coolant for exhaust residue, but it sounds like a HG or head issue.

No 5th gen Cummins yet.

Also, I’d ditch the Cat oil filter for something that says Donaldson or Fleetguard. And if your fuel filters say cat, you need to change those out too. It’s been a long long time since cat was the preferred secondary filter, and never as a fuel water separator on these engines
