2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Coolant Reservoir Parts and Q&A

• Q: How to Maintain the Coolant Reservoir for 3.7L, 4.7L, or 5.7L Engines on 2005 Dodge Ram 1500?

  A: Disconnect the washer pump electrical connector before servicing the coolant reservoir on 3.7L, 4.7L or 5.7L engines. Disconnect the radiator's recovery hose first and unscrew the bolts holding the coolant container to the fan shroud to remove it. Slide the container rearwards to unlock the mounting bracket features and then remove the container from the fan shroud. When installing, put the pins through their appropriate keys on the fan shroud and push the container down onto the shroud. Screw the bolts tightly into the container; the locking pins of the bracket should be engaged at a torque of 8.5 Nm (75 inch lbs.). Once done, connect the recovery hose to the radiator and the electrical terminal of the washer pump again.
