Guarded success!! It doesn't leak now. Truck never got warm enough to engage it, so I don't know if that parts works yet.
Again it's 12x3mm O ring from McMAster-Carr 9263K126
UPS just delivered the O-Rings. The 3x12mm one looks very promising and fits very well. I'll try it tomorrow. Too cold and dark to mess with it tonight!
Still waiting. Haven't gotten the Metric O-Rings yet to try. Evans and Comfort Air are still researching it. I did just bite the bullet and buy a replacement actuator through Oshcosh Equipment...ouch. Figure I'll still try to fix the old one for a spare.
So I just ordered some 3mm x 12mm and 3mm x 13mm O-rings from Mcmaster-Carr. Of course you have to order 10 each minimum. What the heck, I'll just throw another $20 at it. By the time I figure it out (if I do) I could have just bought a new actuator for $245.:roll:
Using a micrometer on the worn one, I come up with 2.56mm thick and 12.99mm inside diameter. I found a listing for a metric one 3mm x 13mm. I'm trying to get my hands on one to test it.
The original is also not a true O-ring. It's kind of squared off. I think it's also a harder, almost...
Fail!
Arrrgh, finally got the parts from Evan's. They weren't sure what O-ring to send so they send me one of each they showed for the actuator. So I ended up with 4 different O-Rings ($5 ea) and none of them are the one I need!:x:x:x:x:x
Back to the drawing board. And I still have a...
So, I finally heard back from Evans. They forwarded my email to a parts distributor, I CAN get the seal o-ring from them. They are $20.95 each (plus shipping), which is much better than $245 for a whole new actuator! I wasn't able to call today, but will call tomorrow and order one. I will...
Anyone have any luck replacing the large O-Ring? I don't think it's a standard size. I'm having trouble matching it up.
I've emailed the manufacturer, Evans Tempcon, to see if I can get that seal/o-ring.
Looking at the pics from the other thread I see my valve is slightly different. My needle valve in the end cap is just plastic (the white pointy cone). In the others it is brass. I would be seriously ticked-off if I had to pay $250 for a new valve because that little $.05 piece failed.
Since...
Had a few extra minutes and decided to pull the guts out leaving the front part in the truck. I found the obvious problem.
The big O-ring was very hard and flattened on the outside surface. It wasn't broken, I did that removing it. The 2 smaller ones look fine, but I'll replace them too just to...
OK I found a good thread with the same issue I am having. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?83932-Actuator-Air-Fan-Clutch-for-M923a1/page5
So now a related question: Could I pull the end off and take the guts out without loosing any coolant? Is the sensor end sealed off from the...
So I started the truck up today to go over some things. Reset the CTIS and I'm still getting the 4 light error (leaking tire somewhere?). The truck aired up, but I noticed the secondary was having a rough time and coming up slowly. Then I noticed a strong hiss and traced it to the...
