Transmisssion Fluid on Radiator 2017 Ram 1500 Lone Star 3.6L
Hello,
My 2017 Ram 1500 Lone Star 3.6L is mixing Trans fluid with coolant. I replaced the Radiator (new one) and transmission fluid, but problem persist. Is there a way from the engine (seal, gasket, etc) where the coolant can go into the trans and vice-versa? In others car that I had the transmission had a connection to the radiator, but when I changed the radiator there is no need to lose the transmission fluid lines on this truck.

Nope, Radiator is the only place where they get together. Likely need to flush the trans, as just dropping the pan only gets about a third of the fluid. Keep in mind, water in the trans fluid breaks down the adhesives that hold the clutch material to their backing.... so, leave it to long, and its going to be rebuild time.
