radiator leak

[Bill Jowers]

Detroit Diesel tells me they
could not access the radiator reservoir box close to the fill cap
by removing the grill at the fan and thought the rear fiberglass panel would
have to be removed the access.

Sound strange the rear end of the
BB bus would require to be removed to access the radiator reservoir box. I’m
confident BB would have made it easier to access than what DD is telling me, and
will look for other option when we pick up our coach .

DD tells me that they went
through the engine and tune up what they could to eliminate the black smoke when
starting off from a full stop, but that was to be expected with the older 92
DD 2 stroke engines.

Subject: radiator leak

We have a minor radiator box leak at the top and can’t
determine how to access the box to make the repairs, we are new to the BB
family and enjoying reading the emails and learning from them. We could not
find any details in the services manuals how to access. We have a 1983 PT35
with Detroit 6V92 silver. with hydraulic fan to cool radiator. It is taking us
a little time to feel comfortable with the large steering wheel. Very high
quality MH.

Help

Thanks
