2020 1500 5.7
Noticed coolant dripping from front drivers side. Coolant temp in the 220’s when I noticed. Crawling under it appeared to be from the drain area. Using UV there was splatter across front of the engine. Watching temps now, it doesn’t seem to have a problem getting up to 226 idling. I’ve read a lot of threads about proper operating temps, but with the coolant issues I feel it may have gotten hotter than that. Fan seems to come on at 226. Trying AC helps to cool it down. Should i change thermostat?
