Over heating problems

[charliechuck]

2005 Dodge ram 2500 cummins around 130000 miles

Problems:
Mild over heating temps around 210-220
Leaking water or what looks to be water right when shut off

Possible Fixs:
Water pump???

Noticed when I was driving home today that my truck was running a little hot. When I stopped to get some food noticed what looks to be water coming from the front area of the engine, I got under there and could not see exactly where it was coming from. My first guess is water pump. Anybody else agree or disagree?

The waterpump on my cummins went out, and it would only leak when it was not running.

Pretty common for the water pumps to leak. I do a lot of them here at the dealer.
Remove the air filter housing,pop off the belt, remove 2 water pump bolts and you're done. Be careful and bleed the system well or it will overheat again.

Easy job to do yourself.
