Temps

[Pete Masterson]

My apologies -- I got Glen's message crossed up (in my mind) with another fellow who recently purchased a '96 PT-42 with the DD Series 60... so, most of what I said has nothing to do with a PT-40 with an 8V92.

Sorry...

  Glen,

 You have correctly identified the different radiators in your coach.

 Pete has a dfferent type of engine and more radiators.

 Your fan runs constantly with an faster speed controlled by a switch

 on the dash that says "fan". If your water temp gets high you can turn

 the switch on and "hopefully" pull the temps down. On mine(8V92), I

 had to replace the radiator(another story).

   Also, my engine only holds 6 1/2 gallons. Yours will probably hold

 less.  Use 40wt. oil ONLY in your engine.

 On changing the trans fluid, do you know when the last time it was

 changed? Smell it, does it smell burned? If so, change it. Remember,

 we have a retarter in it, so it needs servicing more often. 

   Another item to check, the rear end fluid. I told the story of my

 "simple" rear end fluid change that turned out different. You may not

 have the miles I do, but you also don't know what the previous owner

(s) did as far as service.
