Radiator Rebuilt For Our 84FC

[Eric Johnson]

I opened the front of our coach today to check belts and attend to some small
A/F leaks. I
removed the radiator and took it to a local radiator shop. The radiator was
rodded out six
years ago but I've never been satisfied with the performance. I'm considering a
new core
rebuild rather than another clean out. I've been running Caterpillar extended
life pre-diluted
A/F on the cooling circuit so I don't believe I've got a bad fouling problem,
however the
exterior side of the fins look to be pretty well covered with corrosion scale.

We've discussed a similar subject on the forum awhile back and I remember Ernie
and others
suggested a separate transmission cooler as a good way to increase FC cooling
capacity. So
my personal debate is whether it would be better to replace the core or just rod
it out and
modify the transmission cooling circuit.

Any thoughts or suggestions from other FC owners would be appreciated.
