I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good Dodge forum?

I'm looking for some technical help with a '95 Ram.

 

what kind of help ?

 

We don't have any specific questions right now, but are working on my Dad's Ram, so may have some any time.

Initially we were trying to diagnose why it was not starting when the engine was warmed up. Unfortunately, when we tried testing it, it started leaking anti-freeze before getting up to operating temperature. At the time it looked to be coming from the water pump, but this was more of small stream of coolant, and not just the weep hole on the pump.

My Dad took the pump off today, but is not so sure that it was the source of the leak. Going to look at hoses and things around the pump, and replace any that look questionable as well as installing a new pump.

Then we'll see where we are.

Paul feel free to message me if have any questions.

 

Your water leak looks like the pump, but isn't, it'll most likely be the timing cover gasket. I have also seen the corners of the intake leak, but the cover is more likely. As far as te no start when hot, make sure you are still getting spark.. Dodges tend to eat coils like candy.

 

I agree, moparts.com . I'm a member there. Great group of helpful, knowlegable guys.

 

Picked up the parts today (bypass hose, timing cover gasket and oil pan gasket) and have the pump and gasket from a couple of days ago, so hopefully can get them installed this week then get back to troubleshooting the initial problem.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions.
