Coolant System - Thawing:

If the coolant system becomes frozen,

the motorhome must be towed. Place the

motorhome in a warm area until completely

thawed. If the engine is operated when the

cooling system is frozen, the engine may

overheat due to insufficient coolant circulation.

Once thawed, check the engine, radiator and

related components for damage caused by

expansion of frozen coolant.

Coolant Hoses:

Inspect coolant hoses and connections when

checking engine or transmission fluids. Look

for any signs of chaffing at hose restraints

or sharp edges. Indications that hoses have

reached the end of service life include cracking

or swelling around clamps and connections.

Oil leaks can also deteriorate hoses.

Overheating can be caused by a collapsed

hose. Old hoses can also deteriorate on the

inside causing partial clogs and reducing

cooling efficiency. Replace any hose found to

be cracked, swollen or damaged. Periodically

check hose clamp torque.

Inspect:

Every 12 months - Inspect all hoses, clamps,

and fittings for leaks due to cracking, softness

and loose clamps/fittings. Look for signs of

fluid leaks, damaged end fittings or ballooning;

chafed, kinked, or crushed hoses, loose clamps

and fittings. Correct any deficiencies found.

Radiator/Charge Air Cooler

The diesel engine uses compression to ignite

the fuel/air charge. To increase compression

inside the combustion chamber (resulting

in increased power output) a turbocharger

is added to the engine. The turbocharger is

a paired housing assembly with impellers

inside each housing connected by a common

shaft. One impeller is propelled by the engine

exhaust which drives the other impeller. The

function of the other impeller is to increase

compression inside the combustion chamber

by forcing air into the intake manifold.

This process works well, however, the

intake air charge is heated two different

ways: through convection by the exhaust

gases driving the turbocharger and when air

is compressed. This negative effect inside the

combustion chamber results in lost power

potential. Therefore, a Charge Air Cooler

(CAC) is installed to cool the intake air before

it enters the engine. The CAC performs the

same function as a radiator, cooling air instead

of liquid. Ambient air passing through the

CAC will cool the engine intake air charge.

After leaving the turbocharger, intake air

is compressed and heated to approximately

300º to 375º F., depending on the engine load

and throttle position. Before air enters the

intake manifold, the CAC cools the intake

air temperature to the engine manufacturer

specifications. Lowered intake air temperatures

reduce exhaust emissions, improve fuel

economy and increase horsepower.

Cleaning and Maintenance:

Regular maintenance includes draining

the engine coolant, flushing/cleaning

the cooling system, inspecting the

water pump standpipe, replacing

the thermostat, gasket and seal, and

replacing the coolant and SCA element.

Inspect the charge air cooler every six

months and remove dirt and debris that

may block the fins. If the motorhome

develops an oil leak, there is a possibility

that the oil will coat the fins of the CAC.

Dust will adhere to the oil film, clog the

fins and reduce cooling efficiency. When

the oil leak is repaired, the CAC must be

thoroughly cleaned.

NOTE:

Refer to the OEM engine manual for

cooling system maintenance schedules.
