09 dodge ram. Antifreeze all over engine
We left the house and on the way back, my 09 ram started
making a squeal noise as if it was the serpentine belt. I
seen nothing wrong, just the noise. Got home, then drove
10 miles to take my kids somewhere. Half way there, my
battery light came on. I figured maybe my belt was having
issues and messing with my alternator. Half way back to
my house, I noticed my truck running warm. Not over
heated but warmer than normal. Got 200 yards from the
house and it shot straight up to red line hot. Stayed there
for 10 seconds, then all my lights kicked on. Then I heard a
strange noise and my red line hot temp gage went from to
hot to all the way cold. Pulled into my place (only 50 yards
away at the time). Smoked rolled out from the hood and
when I opened it, antifreeze was all over the place but the
serpentine belt was still on. Also noticed where my truck
was parked right before I left, there was a bit of antifreeze
on the drive way. It was dark and didn't see it when we left.
Is this the water pump, or something with the thermostat?
