Dodge 2004 Ram Pickup 3500 - Manual (Page 345)

NOTE: Mixing coolant types will decrease the life of the
engine coolant and will require more frequent coolant
changes.
When additional coolant is needed to maintain the
proper level, add the recommended concentration of
antifreeze and water to the overflow bottle. Do not
overfill.
NOTE: Failure to follow the antifreeze concentration
and replacement recommendations, or failure to use
antifreeze formulated to prevent corrosion of all cooling
system metals, may result in radiator plugging, overheat-
ing, or cooling system leaks such as in core hole plugs.
WARNING!
Never add coolant to the radiator when the engine is
overheated. Do not loosen or remove pressure cap to
cool an overheated engine. The coolant is under
pressure and severe scalding could result.
Recommended Engine Coolant
Refer to Recommended Fluids, Lubricants and Genuine
Parts for the correct Fluid type.
