Description of the problem	Recently purchased brand new, 2004 dodge ram 1500 quad cab w/5. 7 hemi. Awesome truck though quality is a issue. Defective coolant surge tank or possible other defective parts leading to excessive build up of pressure. End result, coolant over flow making a mess and low coolant. Have taken to authorized dealer twice within a month. Dodge service tested and confirm however, monitoring and asked for truck to be return if coolant leak is agian present. Problem is surge tank and cap have abundant residue coolant present. My answer, dugh! The system is a failure. No replacement parts were offered, dealer states coolant over flow was due to possible overfill. Funny thing is at 3k maintenance, coolant problem was addressed and service department stated on receipt overfilled and corrected. Well then 500 miles later, coolant still leaks and service department saying nothings wrong. I guess dodge truck are required to leak then. ?*ak
