My money is on the short turbo coolant line under the intake manifold. That rubber hose can only last so long under the heat and pressure; eventually, it leaks onto the V of the motor, and initially, the leak is slow enough that the coolant boils off. At some point, it will leak worse, and...

Is the fluid leaking oil or antifreeze? I suspect that your leak is the turbo coolant hose that is located right above the intake manifold. This would account for the coolant smell, and you wouldn't necessarily see the coolant leaking because it sits in the V of the V6 and boils off. I replaced...

Thanks for weighing in. I thought of that solution, but figured I would have to ground the plug, and then there would be a red-hot plug sitting on the motor. How did they ground the plug and keep it from catching the motor on fire?

Thanks, I'll look into that as a quick fix. At least that way I only have to look at a CEL during the cold months.

I removed my glow plug #4, and although I was able to remove the plug, the tip (the part that glows) of the plug stayed inside the motor. I realized this when I inserted the new plug, and it wouldn't go in far enough to reach the threads. I'm now getting a P0674 code for a faulty glow plug. I...

I'm starting a new thread on what seems like a pretty common issue. I replaced my air intake while I had it off to repair the turbo coolant hose. I used an aftermarket intake which had the new sensors on it and moved the swirl vent control motor from my factory intake to the new one. The motor...

Thanks for your write-up on repairing the turbo coolant leak about two years ago. I'm going to fix mine, and I'm wondering if you would have done anything different at this point. Did the oven cleaner or any of the manifold cleaning cause any issues?

This is not meant to be a wise guy answer but, as far as I know, that is the message I get when my DEF is getting low. Filling the DEF should make it go away.

Definitely not an expert here but I seem to remember my "service electronic throttle" message came on when my Tone Ring went bad. Has yours been updated? There was a limited recall.

Before paying for an ABS module (expensive) I would do some more research or get a second opinion. My dealer told me I needed a new module, after reading up on the trouble code causes, I pulled the front wheel speed sensors, this is very easy to do. One of them was faulty and I replaced it, I...

Good luck with it. Also, I was able to use the manual override to put the truck in neutral. I don't think the electronics have anything to do with the override, it's a mechanical release. You might not have pulled the lever out far enough.

I had a similar issue happen to me while driving in very heavy rain. There are a couple of large wiring harnesses running along the frame of the truck on the driver's side. Beneath the passenger compartment are a couple of large connectors on these harnesses that secure to the frame with some...

Regarding the Z46 recall (High-Pressure Diesel Fuel Pump), it has been an open recall for almost a year now and RAM has not developed a solution as of June 2023. I'm concerned, as all owners are, that if the HDFP fails how does it get repaired and are additional repairs that are required by the...
