Changed Trans Pan and Fan Belt
WOW, DID not know how hard it was, to chang out the fan belt. I have done it before on older 5.9 Dodge, But this 6.7. Not much Room. Glad I had the Thermo housing off putting in the 180 deg, That made...

Your heater hose clamps are outside in the engine compartment, way back and very very hard to get to. That is why I let the dealership change the hoses and flush the system. The mechanic was not real happy when he got to the heater hoses LOL. There was a some kind of insulation that had to be removed to get to the clamps if I remember correctly.

The cooling system is designed around the coolant. The coolant must accept heat from engine metal, in the cylinder head area near the exhaust valves and engine block. Then coolant carries the heat to the radiator where the tube/fin radiator can transfer the heat to the air.
The use of aluminum cylinder blocks, cylinder heads, and water pumps requires special corrosion protection. Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula MS-9769, or the equivalent ethylene glycol base coolant with hybrid organic corrosion inhibitors called HOAT, for Hybrid Organic Additive Technology is recommended. This coolant offers the best engine cooling without corrosion when mixed with 50% Ethylene Glycol and 50% distilled water to obtain a freeze point of -37°C (-35°F). If it loses color or becomes contaminated, drain, flush, and replace with fresh properly mixed coolant solution.
The green coolant MUST NOT BE MIXED with the orange or magenta coolants. When replacing coolant the complete system flush must be performed before using the replacement coolant.
CAUTION: Mopar® Antifreeze/Coolant, 5 Year/100,000 Mile Formula (MS-9769) may not be mixed with any other type of antifreeze. Doing so will reduce the corrosion protection and may result in premature water pump seal failure. If non-HOAT coolant is introduced into the cooling system in an emergency, it should be replaced with the specified coolant as soon as possible.
