1994 ram 2500, cummins/automatic.
i believe i may have a failed coolant inlet :confused:
the symptoms:
low coolant. i noticed my coolant tank was empty, but not presently leaking. i topped it off and no more leaking. i started the engine and let it run for about 5-10 minutes with a rod against the pedal to raise rpm.
when i came back it was leaking from the end of the lower radiator hose/coolant inlet.
it does not appear to be coming from the hose it self, but at the end of the hose there is a steady seepage.
im thinking maybe a cracked tube that only exposes it self as the metal warms up?
so any tips to help find the crack? i dont have access to dye penetrant.
also wondering how much that piece costs from cummins?
