Bought a 2006 dodge 3500 diesel new. Truck has 78,000 easy miles on it. Started running hot a few days ago so I flushed radiator. When draining radiator I noticed coolant on ground was PINK. I checked transmission stick. Fluid was also PINK. Went straight to Dodge dealer. I was told the Transmission coolant box had failed internally and mixed the two fluids. Service manager stated the only fix was a COMPLETE transmission overhaul, new water pump and complete flush of engine coolant system. Cost between $5 and $7 thousand!! Drive train warranty is 5 years/100,000 miles so two years over but well within mileage. Has anyone heard of this type of drive train failure? I don't see how this should happen with only 78,000 miles.
