    Exactly what I needed to watch right now. Thanks for sharing.
    Looked this up because my 2012 Ram had started blowing cold air during fairly cold Canadian winter conditions when I come to a stop at red lights. Low coolant could be the cause, but had anybody else that reads this experienced something similar? My next step is to monitor the cooling fan to see if it's on duty cycle when it shouldn't be.
    Ciao for now

    Bad advice - Prestone recommends a different antifreeze for that engine.

      If someone needs antifreeze in a pinch, anyone will do if it’s running low. He does most likely need a full flush and drain and get the recommended antifreeze in it later though

    Wrong coolant. Only use OAT Orange coolant per the owners manual.

    Coolant level needs to be checked with the engine hot on this vehicle.

    Ouch! Very Bad Advice. Read the manual, which says Never mix different types of coolant and you have no idea what's already in there. Additionally, and likely more important, is the type of coolant recommended, ie MOPAR OAT coolant, and you have added Prestone non-OAT!! Never trust anyone who is too incompetent to read the manual!!!
