Has anybody heard of this happening?
Today I was driving to Kissimmee and on the way up there I was going to pass two vehicle's in front of me and as I was just about at the rear of the car in front of me they pulled out in front of me forcing me to take the shoulder which was grass, sandy but very rough so rough one of my bed lights popped out of its hole.
As I was driving I smelled coolant once for the whole ride to my destination, but on the way home I smelt it once again but didn't think running off road would of done anything major, it wasn't till I stopped at the last stop light from my camper that I seen steam coming up from the hood, and I checked my gauges and it was only reading 223 f and it would fluctuate but never got hot according to the gauge and once I got home I shut it off and popped the hood to see a little coolant on the pass side inner fender well then checked underneath and the under carriage was wet from all the coolant I was loosing.
So checking the cap on the reservoir it says to use OAT COOLANT MS-12106.
My neighbor was nice enough to take me to Autozone but the only bottle that had that MS-12106 label was a GM orange coolant and I didn't feel comfortable putting that in.
So would anybody know what brand coolant I can substitute for the Mopar coolant for right now? I want to fill it up and drive it to make sure the engine was not overheated. I'll have to call my local Ram dealership to see what they think about the heater hose popping off, but at least I can drive it to them if I had to if I can find a substitute coolant.
