[busa2009]

i randomly just checked my coolant overflow tank and the stick had some weird substance on it not for sure what it is...Its def empty wondering what type of coolant is needed for this truck cant find it i use to know but forgot im sure you cant mix colors though..........

I know mixing green and orange coolant will cause issues similar to this. The coolant in my ecodiesel is purple/pink depending on if it is hot or cold. Not to sure about the hemi. I think it is called OAT coolant.

Also, there is no dipstick on my overflow reservoir.

what do you think of that sludge that is on the coolant stick?

I don’t think it is normal and would probably do a coolant flush or visit your dealer if it’s still under warranty. I’d think powertrain warranty would cover this but who knows.

I went thru this earlier this summer. This is the way it was explained to me at the dealership. The 19 Hemi's and beyond use a 10yr/150,000 mile antifreeze. Mopar part # 68163849AB
The previous years used a 5 yr/100,000 mile antifreeze Mopar part # 68051212AC
The auto stores I visit knew nothing about the difference, didn't stock the newer stuff.
Do not mix the two. They are not compatible.
I don't know anything about the eco diesels and their cooling setup.
Be sure and ask the right questions of the right people and double check the part numbers to be sure.
Whatever that sludge is, it definitely does not belong there.

Mine has it, and I'm at 61k. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the astronomically high temps these run at.

Dealership refused to flush or correct this. They said it’s maintenance and I have to pay for them to remove sludge. Let me know if they cover it for you
