Hello from Minnesota! 99 Ram
Howdy,
I've been a member for a few months now just havn't gotten a chance to do a proper intro(minus pics of my truck). I am the proud owner of a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4 auto with the lovely 360 c.i. magnum V8. No fancy mods other than true dual exhaust with a 18" glass pack on each side, no cat. She has began to have a belt squeal, Anti-freeze is getting onto the belt surface. I replaced the water pump and ever since it has been doing it. Just wondering could it be the little hose between the waterpump and somewhere under the acc mounts? I did not replace that. Here's to many info filled posts (I hope)
Also in case I didnt set my signiture yet I'm located in Thief River Falls, MN (70 miles from Canada) so if anybody is up north and needs some help lemme know!
Thanks,
Mike

Welcome Mike
There is a by-pass hose above the water pump and under the a/c bracket. You could also have soft/freeze plugs leaking too. you need to pressure check the cooling system and seeif can find the leak.

As of late I have been moving a 22X30 Garage, and havnt been able to work on my baby as much as I'd like too. So I have no answer yet, but as soon as I figure it out I will post a detailed write-up of what was wrong, and how I fixed it. I replied to my other thread but I must have forgot all about this one, haha.
Thanks, Mike
Thanks, Mike
