Well its been almost a year since my 5 ton started over heating. After fixing a broken bolt and some other stuff we got her back together.
Now I have tons of rust in the cab to deal with.
Thanks for the reminder about the heater core.
Ordered the bearings today off Ebay.
Hard time finding the NTN 4t-cri-0868
I hope I got the right one.
About $100 total.
Clutch pad looks to be in great shape, but there is a little rust.
Had the steel coolant pipes sand blasted, any ideas about the...
Sorry the 5 ton has a square cornered radiator.
Water pump is steel construction and in good shape.
Lots of gunk in the system. CLR seems to be working really good at cleaning stuff up.
Started to take apart the fan clutch and will post pics soon.
Almost exactly the same, the M923 has rounded corners on the radiator.
Freightliner has squared.
No coolant out the overflow but it was boiling when I took the cap off.
Gauge said 235 and then I found out the engine fan had a bad bearing.
Been digging into the coolant system since my truck started over heating.
Lots of junk in the system. Trying to clean up the radiator with CLR and flush the sysytem.
Found out my fan clutch is bad so gathering parts to rebuild.
Thought I would post some pics.
She's chilly.
A lot has to do with air gaps around the doors.
That's why I plan on insulating a little better and putting some flat metal around the door window to deflect the wind and water.
I got my truck all taken apart right now, nothing like taking a trip in these truck. :)
I tried everything, but tape, to seal the cab.
Had water everywhere In a big down pour.
Had a drip right on my gas foot. haha
It was great, loved every minute of it that trip.
And had a good time with my son.
Only issue I had was ran out of fuel going up a hill in Canada.
Lots of good people...
This might work.
