Our 2006 Durango 5.7L occasionally burps up a large amount of coolant (maybe a quart?).

This same motor also has a history of eating water pumps and/or thermostats.

Anyone have this experience with this motor?

Any idea what, or how to prevent it?

Every time its done it in the past (once every couple of years) I've checked fir problems, found nothing, and then been fine.

It's annoying and the wife is a bit unnerved by it (it's her crappy weather driver).
