    Great video. Other than the sound, what other issues made u make this repair?
    I have a 2022 ram 3500 as well and I keep losing coolant with no visible leak. After about 3-4 hours of driving the temp starts to climb. I’d stop and have to add coolant. Went through 2 jugs of coolant on a 4 hour and 40 minute trip yesterday. Did you have a similar issue?

      I apologize for the sound! I never got into the UA-cam thing enough to justify better equipment.
      I had a very similar issue! Not even white smoke or white residue on the tail pipe. Just losing coolant. My mechanic friend told me the 2 most common issues for it would either be a head gasket or the EGR cooler and considering I was half way across the country I took the risk buying the EGR cooler. It worked and I had the truck for another 40,000+ miles after I did the fix with no issues at all. Customer service at bullletproof is phenomenal and I would happily do business with them again!
      I hope this helps you

      @@phirstplaceg1515 it only made a sound because I didn’t replace the gasket between the exhaust and EGR cooler. Once I changed that it was all normal

      The piece of plastic you are talking about at 0:48, mine seems to be two separate pieces, one of which was broke into 2 giving me 3 total pieces. I’m considering using jb weld as none of the dealerships near me seem to have any of the replacements in stock. Any insight you can offer?

    Hey how much you spent in you new EGR and what brand is it?

      It’s a bulletproof EGR cooler. It was $1300 and the gaskets were about $100. I think it was $150-200 or so to have the cooling system flushed when I finished

    How is this upgrade going?

      I just got rid of the truck with about 40,000 miles on the new EGR cooler. 0 issues. And the truck had no further issues after this
