2013 - 14 Ram diesel dual radiator system....question?

Recommended Posts

I am rebuilding a wrecked 2014 Ram diesel. It has the "plumbing" for the dual radiator cooling system, but the radiators, condensor, tranny coolers did not come with the truck. I find very limited info on this system online. Does anyone in the east valley area have one that I can take a look at, or is willing to post pics? I have what I believe to be the primary and secondary radiators, the condensor, and the inner tanny oil cooler. I believe there is a 2nd outer tranny cooler, going by the "plumbing". This is what I need to figure out. The dealer parts guy seems to have a hard time with it as well. Any help is appreciated.

From my research, it appears 2013 - 14 had this system. I have the primary radiator insalled. There is "Y" upper and lower radiator hoses, basically splitting the hoses into two each. One side of each "Y" goes to the upper and lower ports of the primary radiator. The other side of each "Y" reaches further forward and will attach to the secondary radiator, basically putting the two radiators in parallel. The upper tranny line attaches to the upper primary radiator as well. In front of the primary radiator, a engine oil cooler attaches to a crossmember. The secondary radiator goes on next, attached to crossmembers. The condensor goes on next, attached to the front of the secondary radiator. This is where the mystery starts. There must be a stand alone tranny oil cooler in front of the condencer, as there is a long tranny line that runs across the front to attach to something (cooler) on the left side. There also has to be a tranny line that connects from the primary radiator lower port to the stand alone cooler. I hope this isn't too confusing.

Here is some info from a document referring to the 2014:

"All Ram Chassis Cab diesels benefit from an advanced cooling system. A high-efficiency fan, dual radiators, dual

transmission coolers and a charge air cooler provide impressive heat-rejection capacity to align with best-in-class

Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR). Lower operating temperatures deliver unsurpassed performance, durability

and lower operating costs".
