Radiator/condenser fan not coming on

RAM 1500 2015 3.0 eco diesel  65000 miles
The fan is not coming on while the ac is on making the ac blow hot air until I start driving then it cools down. Once I come to a stop it’s right back hot and the whole time the fan still doesn’t come on even if the temp reaches 230

Coolant Loss

RAM 1500 2003 4.7L Crew Cab 203000 miles
Coolant is disappearing from the reservoir immediately as I fill it, No visible leaks from the truck anywhere. I'm not seeing milky oil when checking it so i don't believe it's a head gasket issue, I have no idea where my coolant is going. When i start the truck it sits on cold on the temp gauge for a good few minutes without moving then quickly shoots to overheating.

I have noticed the same on my 2015 eco diesel, I put a new radiator cap on because I thought I was loosing it there, but after about 6 months my reservoir was virtually empty. Help is much appreciated. (Btw it is not leaking through the head either)

Won’t stop overheating

RAM 1500 2018  176000 miles
I have changed the radiator itself, the fan, it has a new trans, I can’t even count how many thermostats! And still it overheats it I have to slow down and speed back up again…. Like at traffic lights or stop signs in the neighborhood etc. if I stay kind of steady speed it’s not so bad. It’s getting worse with the rising heat outside of course! I’m out of ideas!
