Is this the Mopar warranty you're talking about? If so, just be aware that it's definitely not a bumper to bumper warranty.

It's the same on all year models. It just switches the 12V outlet from ignition power to battery power and vice versa.

Same mix, you can pour a bottle of your favorite Mopar-only-OAT-expensive-as-sh1t coolant into both tanks. But yes, they're physically completely separate.

It's documented in the users manual. Go to the index and look up the term "gullible".

And here's a pic from the RHO. Small tank on the left (well, the right side of the engine bay).

Yes, there's a smaller tank (same coolant) that feeds the intercooler. I have a TRX so the layout is different, but here's what mine looks like. It's the one on the left.

With forced induction engines, the one you really need to watch is the intercooler coolant tank. If that starts dropping, it's almost surely the I/C brick leaking straight into your intake. I'm familiar with several cases of that, and it always ends in hydrolock and a new engine.

I disagree. I keep my coolant near the max mark (when cold), and I’ve NEVER had it suddenly drain down to the min level. It’s never flowed out of my tank. Or evaporated, or otherwise mysteriously disappeared. Coolant just doesn’t do that. If it was boiling out, there would be evidence.

I think everyone has lost track of the actual question/problem. OP fills up tank to max line, and the coolant mysteriously drains off to the min line every few days. This is not normal, and it's not "evaporation". That's a crap-ton of coolant that is going somewhere. Sure, if you overfill the...

Have you checked your exhaust manifolds for cracks? https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2022/MC-10226021-9999.pdf

Just following up on this. I've downloaded almost 1,000 build sheets so far today (production from the weekend), and 100% of the trucks now have steel hoods. Except for the RHO.

I don’t have a 2025 or a 2026, but I’m active on the RHO forum. And I can tell you that the consensus is that the 2026’s are no better than the 2025’s. Same electrical gremlins.

If you don’t have external leaks and you’re losing coolant, then the most likely explanation is your engine is ingesting it (which would not be good). Ever see a bit of smoke at startup, or at any other time for that matter?

So there was a fire that has impacted Stellantis. I guess these steel hoods are a short term substitution until the supply chain recovers. The second fire happens a few days before Ram started installing steel hoods. Timeline of Events: Sept 16, 2025: Fire at Novelis Oswego plant damages the...
