Unhappy Water in system

Hi

When I start my Dodge Ram 1500 I can hear like something is sucking water under the dashboard. The noise is coming from passenger side.
I also think that the car have been flooded.

How can I remove a water from my car parts?

Thank You

And you might have a leak some where, and air is getting in the system. Check the fluid level, top it off if needed, and keep an eye on it for a week or so and see if it's getting low again.

https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...-bleeding.html

found these two threads sounds like the culprit.

not trying to be rude, but do a little research on here first. I've learnt my lesson on these forums about that. Usually you can find what your looking for

Thanks for the replays.
I did the search but all the time it says "No result".
I will try to bleed the cooler system. I will replay if it helps.

Thanks One More Time

Ok guys more questions.
1. I try to bleed the radiator system. I took off the radiator cap then start the car. What I saw is that I can't see any coolant inside the radiator but there was enough in the coolant tank. Is that because I have opened the cap first then start the car? Or there maybe some other reason?

2. All the time while I'm driving I can hear a noise coming from around the engine,sound like turbo or supercharger. Like the truck sucks a lot of air from somewhere. Is that a intake gasket?

Thanks for any help

um you need to put some coolant in the radiator.....it should be completely full, the tank is only there for expansion
