Ram 1500 Overheating

10

Asked by Msheldon713 May 28, 2019 at 11:58 AM about the 2011 RAM 1500 Tradesman

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2011 Ram 1500 V6 that just started overheating.  I
had this problem in the past and replaced the water pump
about 3 years ago. All of a sudden it started again. I
changed the water pump again (under lifetime warranty),
and the thermostat. After filling the fluids back up and
checking it, the truck ran at a normal temp until I kicked on
the AC then began to overheat again.  I tried to run the
heater and the air came out cool for a bit then just stopped
blowing.  What should my next step be?

Please someone, I have a family member in critical condition out of town and can not take the drive until this problem is taken care of.

I'm having same problem w/2015 . I took it to a mechanic and he said that I was having computer problems and when it does that it caused the fan not to run as hard and then the engine will overheat so my opinion is to take it in
