NOTE: If all coolant drained from the system was collected, the same vol ume or more must go back into the system. If any drained coolant remains after filling, this is an indication of an air pocket which must be purged before returning the vehicle to service. Unless indicated otherwise by OEM instructions, it is… Read More »
Make sure air is vented during the fill process: • Some thermostats have check balls that allow air to vent through the thermostat when the thermostat is closed. • An air vent port connection, which connects to the top tank/coolant recovery tank of the cooling system, is located next to the water outlet. The… Read More »
To vent air during the fill process: • Some thermostats have check balls that allow air to vent through the thermostat when closed. • An air vent port connection, which connects to the top tank/coolant recovery tank of the cooling system, is located next to the water outlet. This provides adequate venting for a fill… Read More »
Position the vehicle or equipment on a level surface. Isolate the engine from the vehicle cooling system by closing coolant flow valves to the equipment heating systems before initiating repair. This will prevent the heater circuit from draining, minimizing the chance for air pockets to be present during the fill process. Refer to the OEM… Read More »
NOTE: Never use a sealing additive to stop leaks in the coolant system . This can result in coolant system plugging and inadequate coolant flow, causing the engine to overheat. The engine coolant level must be checked daily. NOTE: In the event of a water pump or EGA cooler failure, it is recommended that coolant… Read More »
Apply a film of pipe sealant, Part Number 3375066 or equivalent, to the threads. Install the cylinder head adapter into the cylinder head. Torque Value: 25 N•m [ 221 in-lb] Install the vent line and sealing washers on the EGA cooler and cylinder head adapter. Install the banjo bolt and sealing washers in the EGA… Read More »
Inspect the o-rings/sealing washers for damage. Inspect the vent line, banjo bolt, cylinder head adapter, and fitting for cracks or other damage. Replace if needed.
Remove the banjo bolt (1) from the EGA cooler. Remove the vent fitting (2) from the cylinder head adapter. NOTE: It can be necessary to apply a counter torque to the cylinder head adapter in order to remove the vent fitting. Remove the vent line (3). Remove the cylinder head adapter from the cylinder head.… Read More »
This procedure applies to the rear gear train engine EGA cooler and cylinder head vent line. The vent line is required to remove air from the cooling system to reduce the possibility of water pump and EGA cooler cavitation. On a rear gear train engine, the vent line (1) is plumbed into the EGA cooler… Read More »
NOTE: If a previously installed thermostat is being used, make sure a new thermostat seal is used. Install the thermostat into the thermostat housing. Install the water outlet connection and mounting capscrews. Tighten the capscrews. Torque Value: 10 N•m [ 89 in-lb ]
