So I'm having more issues with this truck I bought my son a month ago. It's the 2010 Ram 3500 6.7, 184k miles with EGR, CCV delete and 4" open exhaust. Suddenly it is having engine overheating issues and couple times my son said it got to 300°. Yes obviously that is bad, we put a thermostat in it with no change, changed the water pump and still had issues. It seemed to have air in the system and blow it out the overflow valve on radiator into overflow reservoir. I let it get cold, started engine, opened radiator cap and had to put almost a gallon of coolant in as I waited for it to bleed out allen fitting on coolant hose where EGR used to be. This was first time I bled the system with through that coolant hose and now truck holds 180° just fine and doesn't overheat.
But when engine sits and gets cold, I have to bleed it to prevent it from overheating. Not sure what is going on but I've been told its the lower coolant hose which is not leaking and appears to be fine or the head gasket.
Any help is much appreciated?
