So my worthless update.
I got nothing. Refilled the reservoir with the bleed valve open. No air bled out. No pressure coming back into the reservoir either upon starting.
I did not drive it though, just let it idle for a half hour. Nothing out of the ordinary happened. Minor bubbles came out...
Running it with the tank drains open was exactly what I had in mind to test the shutterstat or any other air pressure in the system issues. I still need to narrow it down from air pressure or a head gasket/ combustion chamber pressure issue.
If the air pressure issue does stop by opening the...
No, I did not bleed it. I know about the valve but didn't even think about it.
I think the shutterstat will be my main objective to test. Pumping air into the coolant system makes sense at this point. The coolant started to run as soon as I started it up this morning, immediately upon the tanks...
I didn't see anything like that in the TMs. My thermostat housing didn't match the picture either. I will have to check again. Maybe what I saw was for the engine in the a1 (NC250 or whatever).
Thanks for the info.
I will check the radiator tomorrow, as well as refilling the reservoir to see if it blow out again.
I will also check the hoses and see if they build pressure while running cold.
My MV is a 1990 m923a2 with the 8.3l Cummins and I have owned it for four months or so.
Searching the forum hasn't revealed any help and the TMs give little support.
Here is my issue. The coolant overflow was empty 3 weeks ago. I filled it with coolant mix and drove it 45 minutes. It stayed...
Soapy water works well, but there is a lot of tire to cover. I tried it on one of mine and had no luck. It usually works very well.
I ended up using a tarp and making a pool around the tire. Found out it was in the valve stem area. Quick turn of a wrench and it was done.
I do have one leaking...
Get an extra Shrader valve. The metal caps aren't usually sealed very well.
I usually hold the valve ready and move as fast as I can when popping the hose. I spit on the Shrader too so the seal doesn't tear (not sure if they will or not anyways but I always have done that).
It takes like ten...
My understanding is the blower motor is on low with 12 volts and high with 24 volts. I am not positive which wire it is though.
The blower motor doesn't pull enough power to adversely affect the batteries with a 12 volt draw. Add 15 other units that pull off one battery and then the trouble...
I haven't tried it on that particular application, but Silicone seems to work well for most things like that.
I had an old truck that was missing the door weather stripping. I put a layer of blue tape on the door and added Silicone to the seal and shut the door. It worked well and the tape kept...
