Why did my coolant spray out?
Why did my coolant spray out?
The spraying of coolant in the engine compartment occurs after the cooling system pressurizes. When pressure begins to build in the cooling system, coolant will be forced out much like a spray nozzle from a water hose. Radiator hoses can develop pin holes that will do the same thing.
What’s the temp on a Dodge Dakota radiator?
I let it run at idle for 20 minutes after putting antifreeze into it (the type that says it is compatible with all others) and then drove it over 30 miles, including a couple of stops along the way, and the temperature stayed just below the center of the normal range.
Why is the coolant leaking from my Dodge Dakota?
Just this weekend I trucked to the top of Wolf Creek Pass in my 2001 4.7L Dakota. When I stepped out of my truck I could smell coolant immediately and it was my car leaking it. When I popped the hood it appeared that the coolant had been spewing from the overflow bottle.
Why does my Dakota 4×4 heat up so fast?
It appeared that the anti-freeze was going out the overflow tube and maybe splashing onto the engine. What would cause it to heat up like this. Could it be a bad radiator cap or what. My 4.7 liter Dakota 4×4 just started overheating yesterday. I replaced the thermostat and that seemed to cure the problem.
Is there a problem with my Dodge Dakota?
I have a 2004 Dodge Dakota Pickup and the temp gauge is running high but not overheating. My electrical cooling fan is not coming on – relay is okay, fuse is okay, and the fan is okay. The thermostat seems ok too. Any ideas what may be wrong? Is there another thermostat I should be looking at?

Is the radiator on my Dodge Dakota working?
So far, since replacing lost coolant and getting a new radiator cap, my Dakota hasn’t overheated again and I’ve driven it several hundred miles since then. I hope it remains so, because since my wife’s 89 Jeep Cherokee failed inspection due to having a badly rusted out floor board, the Dakota is our only vehicle.
What should engine temp be in Dodge Dakota?
I recently went on a long road trip. During that time my engine temp peaked at about 240 w/ no A/C. (norm being around 190-200) Red line is 260. The first thing I changed was the thermostat. Didn’t change a thing.
