Got it figured out. It was one of the rubber hoses that attaches to the housing which the cooling pipes run into ($14 part). Mine has the upgraded aluminum coolant pipes and was not the source of the leak (fortunately). Part comes tomorrow so hope to have it back together for a run tomorrow. Anyone know what ft-lbs the intake is torqued at?

Thanks for the info / suggestions. Tore things apart and the source is a leaky hose behind the motor. It is the furthest left one of the three that are together extending from under the intake manifold. Need to get a replacement at the dealer or online. Also found some loose fittings that will get fixed. Can anyone share the torque values on the bolts that hold the intake down?

Just hit the 60K mark. Doesn't the turbo have an electric water pump (no pulley)? Just getting into it now and have the bottom pan off to get up in there for a closer look.

My 05 CTT recently had the coolant pipes changed from plastic to the updated aluminum ones. Today after about 5 minutes of driving I smell coolant and the low coolant level warning light comes on. I turn around and park it for the rest of the day. Trying to pinpoint where he leak is coming from, I take off all the plastic housing around the engine bay so I can see around as it warms to operating temperature. As it was running and warming up I smelled very faint signs of coolant, when all of the sudden I hear brief buzzing noise and coolant starts to leak pretty fast out the bottom of the engine bay. I cannot see where it is coming from but my guess would be near the rear of the motor, hard to tell which side but it smelled stronger from the passenger side (right). My guess is the water pump, and when it turned on that was the buzzing noise I heard? It happened about 5 or so minutes during warmup at idle. Any thoughts / suggestions on what this could be are appreciated. Pump should be fairly easy to replace if that's the issue?

Under full acceleration I regularly see 0,7 on mine (05 model). If yours does not hit 0,7 maybe your diverter valves are not working properly? I think 0,7 is the factory max...I could be wrong though.

Mine was recently replaced. The receipt says it's a dry battery rated at 110A - part # 955-611-110-20 and price was $247 USD. The battery looks to be twice the width as a normal battery, but the same height and depth. Maybe a yellow-top Optima battery will suffice? Should be able to do something like this yourself.
