6 common questions answered
What are the signs a 2019 Ram 3500 needs a coolant service?Common signs include a higher-than-usual temperature gauge, a sweet smell, a puddle under the front of the truck, or rusty, cloudy, or low coolant.
These signs can indicate depleted coolant protection or a leak. The cooling system is under pressure and hot after running, so checking it should be done cold. A service visit can test the system and identify whether maintenance or repair is needed.
- Temperature gauge running higher than usual
- Sweet smell or coolant puddle
- Rusty, cloudy, or low coolant
What is included in a coolant service on a 2019 Ram 3500?It includes draining and refilling the coolant, pressure testing the system for leaks, and inspecting the hoses, cap, radiator, and water-pump area.
The refill uses the type and concentration the manufacturer specifies for this vehicle. The pressure test helps separate a service that is due from a leak that needs repair. The inspection also checks the components that contain and regulate coolant flow.
- Drain and refill with manufacturer-specified coolant
- Cooling-system pressure test
- Inspection of hoses, cap, radiator, and water-pump area
How often should the coolant in a 2019 Ram 3500 be changed?The manufacturer publishes a maintenance schedule for the 2019 Ram 3500, and that schedule settles when coolant service is due.
The published schedule calls for cooling-system inspection every 10,000 miles and coolant flushing or replacement every 150,000 miles. Coolant condition can also be tested during a service visit between those points. A pressure test helps determine whether a leak changes the recommended next step.
- Cooling-system inspection every 10,000 miles
- Coolant flush or replacement every 150,000 miles
- Condition testing during an intervening service visit
What kind of coolant does a 2019 Ram 3500 use?The manufacturer specifies the coolant type for the 2019 Ram 3500, and that specification should guide the refill.
Coolants are not interchangeable, so choosing by convenience can provide the wrong protection for the system. Colour is not a reliable guide to what is in the bottle. At service, the refill should use the manufacturer-specified type and concentration for this vehicle.
- Follow the manufacturer’s coolant specification
- Do not treat different coolants as interchangeable
- Do not use colour alone to identify coolant
Can I just top off the coolant in a 2019 Ram 3500?Topping off restores the coolant level but does not restore the additive package or explain why the level dropped.
A level that keeps dropping points to a leak rather than normal consumption. The system should be checked cold because it is under pressure and hot after running. A pressure test and inspection can determine whether the vehicle needs scheduled service or leak repair.
- Adding coolant restores level only
- Depleted additives are not restored by topping off
- Repeated level loss calls for an inspection
