Dodge Ram Truck 1500-2500-3500. Manual - part 229
CAUTION: Do not use coolant additives that are claimed to improve engine cooling.
Do not remove the radiator cap to add coolant to the system. When adding coolant to maintain the correct level, do
so only at the reserve/overflow bottle. Remove the radiator cap only for testing or when refilling the system after
service. Removing the cap unnecessarily can cause loss of coolant and allow air to enter the system, which pro-
duces corrosion.
WARNING: DO NOT REMOVE OR LOOSEN THE RADIATOR CAP WITH THE COOLING SYSTEM HOT AND
UNDER PRESSURE. SERIOUS BURNS FROM THE COOLANT OR HIGH PRESSURE STEAM CAN OCCUR.
