I don't see any coolant leaking anywhere and I used an overflow tank full in about 2500 miles? thinking maybe the EGR cooler failed again. Anyone have that happen to them? thanks

Yes. Replaced in Texas when the tone ring failed.
Came back home to SC and was losing antifreeze, somewhere but not showing up anywhere.
Dealership in SC replaced the EGR but the loss of antifreeze continued. Finally after 3 more trips to the dealership they finally said the head was blown and block was cracked.
Engine replaced at 97K miles

Did you have any change in the oil level? I'm hoping its EGR, much simpler repair. I'm still fixing the def system from the exhaust bolts breaking and melting the def line and injector. Bought a cheap injector on ebay but it was defective. So I bought a new injector from RAM , just have to install it. Ram wouldn't cover it under warranty cause the mechanic put down bolts corroded. Love the truck but hope the problems don't keep piling up.

Did not have any oil leak that showed up nor oil level dropping but after having 8 excellent oil reports from Blackstone, the last one, that I think may have convinced both the dealership and the warranty people showed lots of antifreeze in the oil. I always have my oil analysis done at each oil change showing the type of oil, Rotella and the milage per change. I think that was very instrumental in getting a new engine.

Note: I always change my own oil and fuel filter. Easy to do and know it gets done correctly.

Haven't had my oil tested, I forgot to check it to see if it was high. Needs to be changed so if it's not high or discolored maybe I'll get it tested. Just waiting to get back to Florida where I left my truck.
