"Mystery" Puddle
Well, not a puddle yet but definitely losing fluid. 2005 Ram 3500 diesel 82K miles. Fluid (does not appear to be engine oil, power steering fluid or ATF) is dripping off the backside of the crankshaft...

Either way it's leaking and needs to be fixed....Good luck and let's hope your new pump lasts more than ~80k miles.
The shop that customarily services the truck has some gadget that looks not totally unlike a kidney dialysis machine to extract old coolant, flush system with demineralized water, and add the appropriate mix of coolant called for and demineralized water. The shop owner once explained the big reason he invested in the equipment was to insure no air is in the cooling system during a purge/refill, which he said can cause major issues with the HOAT/OAT coolants in use these days. If I recall, the manual says the truck uses a HOAT coolant.
