Are you looseing water from the radiator? If not, water out of the tail pipe can be thought of as a normal happing.
Otherwise, head gaskets sound like a possible thing. |

yes, i'm loosing water from the radiator, its going out the tailpipe and into the crankcase. I was hoping to not pull the heads and if i do i hope there not busted.
i was hoping chrysler had a weak spot in this motor , maybe bad intake gaskets or something. i'm usually not that lucky. thanks |

My memory is a bit foggy, but a friend of mine had a similar problem on a new Ram and I think it turned out to be a cracked head. He was under warranty so It was replaced free. Try checking around to see if that model was prone to that failure. Posting in the truck forum might get more responses about your particular truck. Also, a compression test could give you some more insight.
Another thought is that it could be an intake manifold gasket leak, which would be much easier to fix, but seems less likely they would spontaneously go bad. |

If theres water in the crankcase, are you not gonna pull the motor anyway? I know it would be a lot of work, but it would be the right thing to do, to be on the safe side. Just a thought

I would say a head gasket. I've had 2 go on my 4.7L Dakota, and I've only got 40k miles on it.

Even though the 4.7 and the 5.9 are different animals to a point , i have heard head gaskets were a problem area as of late. Like said befor about the intake gasket, that could be a area to look as well.
Keith is right about the truck forum. |
