Sounds like you may have a leaking heater core. A pressure test on the cooling system can determine if there is a leak in the system

Might still have air in the system. Im fairly new to the ram 5.7 myself so i cant give advice on how to properly purge the cooling system of air.

as for the smell, maybe your smelling coolant cooking on the engine from when the pump was replaced? Worst case as noted above your heater core has a small leak.

make sure you’re checking the radiator and the overflow tank. The dash has to be removed to change the heater core. If you replace it, you may as well replace the blend doors and evaporator too.
