Greetings to you Rammers out there! I've got a question about coolant and I'm really interested to hear your opinions; I brought my 2003 Ram 1500 overseas here to Ukraine for work. There's not such a large choice of coolants for American cars here, but not too bad. How important is the choice of coolant for the 2003 Ram (4.7L)? Any opinions?

Cheers

 

i have the 3.7 v6 which is a 4.7 v8 with two cylinders missing and on my cap it says special engine coolant required see owners manual see if yours does if not then i would not worry to much hell if u can get it get evans waterless coolant works with anything

 

You can put any kind of coolant you want in there as long as you flush whatever you have in there out. You don't need a synthetic(dexcool). You can use green basic but you cannot mix the 2.

 

Thanks for your help, fellas. One more thing; what about my choices of power-steering and transmission fluids...?
