Radiator top tank
The radiator top tank allows for hot coolant expansion and
keeps the expanded coolant volume within the cooling
system.
The level of coolant in the system is being monitored by
the level sensor in the top tank.
Coolant is added to the system through the filler neck on
the radiator top tank.
If the coolant level is low, allow the engine and radiator to
cool before attempting to open the radiator top tank cap
(1)
. Add the proper coolant as needed to bring the coolant
level up to the fill neck of the radiator top tank. Do not mix
different coolant types. Replace cap when finished adding
coolant to the system.
The capacity of the cooling system is
64 L
(
17 US gal
).
This capacity does not include the heater core or cab
plumbing.
