2005 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 QC - Ok I am not sure how to put this. My Truck is having a throttle problem when I take off it back fires and run sluggish but after a few min. it starts to run right. But it seems to be getting worse can anyone help me out with this issue? I'm also loosing water somewhere do to I'm having to put water in it about every other day.

 

Moving this to Third Gen Ram section for ya. Welcome to DF!

 

Start by pressurizing the coolant system. You can rent the tool at autozone, o Reilly’s etc. I just replaced my water pump and now have to tear everything down again because timing cover is leaking now. (Which is why I bought a double roller timing chain and gasket set)

You could have a bad water pump, radiator, coolant hose, timing cover, head gasket( which could cause the sluggishness)...could be numerous things so start by pressurizing system and find leak before you drive it much further
