Was changing my coolant and thermostat today in my 97 1078. Decided I better check the cooling fan for looseness because of the horrible stories I’ve heard on here of fans flying into the rad. I turned the main power switch on, tilted the cab, and grabbed the fan. I was able to wiggle the fan...

Can someone help me diagnose what is going on with my coolant please? Just bought this truck last week. Drove it home almost four hours. When I left, coolant was clear and normal looking. Oil level was full when I left, when I got home it was about three quarts low. I am now seeing this white...

I would like to drain and flush my power steering fluid on my new to me 1078. I have read a few threads where 10w oil was recommended, but have been unable to find this locally. Is there another weight or type of fluid that is reasonably priced and more readily available?
