Why does a 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 V6 leaks coolant at an alarming rate after the truck has been driven and the engine has gotten hot?

There is more pressure in the cooling system when the vehicle is warmed up. It just forces the coolant through the the hole or crack that is there already. Check around hose, water pump, and radiator for the most common places. Good luck.

MID 128 PID 111 has to do with the engine coolant level in the Volvo. It is a code that can be gotten when the check engine light is flashing.

two easy answers are: 1. the coolant isn't at its' proper mixture (ie. too much water, or not enough coolant) 2. your radiator has gotten too plugged up to allow the coolant to pass slowly enough through to cool the engine, the coolant is being force through 10 ports fast instead of 50 ports slowly.

Where is the engine coolant temperature sensor in a 1999 Audi A4 1.6L and how to replace it?
You should have gotten a letter from Audi about an extended warranty. The sensor is now covered for 10 years/100,000 miles for a falty sensor. This sensor (if malfunctioning) will cause the MIL to light up by "sensing" that the engine coolant is a couple degrees above what it should read. No Idea where it is but you shouldn't have to worry about replacing it yourself.
Why is there dirty oil in my coolant resivouir?
If there is oil in the coolant reservoir that means that the oil has gotten into the cooling system. The most likely place for oil and coolant to meet is at the cylinder head gasket. I hope this isn't the case because it's a very expensive repair.
What is wrong when low coolant light is on and the car seems to be overheating but the coolant tank is full on a my 1995 Pontiac grand am se Ijust replaced the radiator a week ago waterpunp a month?
maybe the thermostat You might have air stuck in the system causing the rad fluid to not flow properly, remove one of the heater core hoses from the heater core once the engine has gotten hot. The pressure will help help flush it. Put it back on and check the overflow tank after you start the engine again..

Why does a car take so long to warm up?
Car heating systems usually rely on the excess heat generated by the engine to heat the passenger compartment. There's a thing that looks just like a small radiator that sits in a fan shroud underneath the dash. When the engine has gotten warm, the coolant liquid that circulates through the engine and this little radiator also gets warm. And by having a fan blow air through the radiator, you get warm air that can be directed out through the vents in the dash into the passenger compartment of the car. There's a lot of metal in the engine that needs to heat up before the coolant is warm enough to heat the radiator enough for it to heat the air that you can send out into the cab.
How do you repair when engine oil has gotten into the cooling system?
You have a blown head gasket, cracked head, or both. The engine must be dissembled to make the repair. Stop driving this car immediately or you will destroy the engine.
