Poking around under the hood this morning on my Ram and noticed a muddy look in the coolant bottle. Only have 38k miles on this but definitely concerned.. still in power train I’ll dump it at the dealer but curious if anyone else has had this issue.
Thanks
Merry Christmas!

When I 1st bought my truck, I noticed a bit of sludge at the bottom on the puck bottle and threw on a coolant filter. Never had a problem since, and it only cost me a cheap filter each year. I was told it was usually trash from when they made the block and sometimes they couldn't get all the trash out when they flushed the block for clean. Plus with the filters inlet coming from the 5 and 6 cylinder area of the head, it helps with move coolant movement in the area with the most heat. The only problem with doing this is the more stuff they put into the engine compartment the in newer years models. Something to think about.

I went wth a company named NUC motor sport. But they don't make for your year. My friend with a '05 Ford like the idea, and we went to NAPA, ordered the parts, made a bracket and he's running his for 8 years now, without problems.
Give me a bit and I'll get a picture for you.

Before you order one, hang in there and discuss this with others, they might have other ideas. A couple days won't hurt.

Cummins may have cheapened it's wash out procedures after sand casting. One system flush and it's over. But no worries. Better in the bottle than in the engine. Seen it many times in old Mopars.
A old timers tip: Put several ounces of concentrated Dawn dish detergent in the rad before you go to flush. Drive it around for a couple of weeks, Then flush it out. Put about an ounce of DAWN dish detergent in the rad after flushing. It keeps that stuff left suspended.
