2001 8.3L Cummins Coolant Flush and Filter Change with DCA4 (SCA)

Diesel engine are strange! 8-15 gallons of coolant, supplemental coolant additives (SCA), coolant filters with and without SCA in them, block and radiator drains etc. Join me as I learn and teach you how to properly service the cooling system on this RV (2001 American Tradition made by Fleetwood.)
For a list of parts I used, please visit a.co/7YAeqM4
I have the filters I used listed as well as a DCA4 test kit.
I couldn't locate the Fleetguard Compleat TMC RP329 or TMC RP 330 low silicate antifreeze (ASTM4985 or GM6038m). But the carquest stuff I used, had these numbers.

    SCA is added to the coolant on wet sleeve style diesels to prevent cavitation erosion of the cylinder liners. Generally the best bet is standard premix ELC type coolant (orange if you buy the Fleetguard stuff), no water needed as it is already in proper ratio. Donaldson makes a coolant filter for that engine that contains SCA in pellet form for continual absorbtion into the cooling system. Best practice is to use a coolant test strip annually to ensure that the SCA is in proper concentration, change the filter every 1000 hours.

    Paul hope I don’t sound to condescending, but I was taught by several very thorough instructors just like you. They were like you, very funny, great at their knowledge, awesome people and very strict about they way they taught and guided their students. They instilled a lot of ethics, inspiration, confidence, knowledge, experience and laughing / crying on the floor shop humor you’ve ever heard. They also welcomed anyone who might know proper terminology / nomenclature or proper procedure or even just a story about their uncle that showed them a better repair or repair practice to a job being completed. So, by all means Paul do more funny mistakes or story’s about goof ups on different jobs you’ve done over the years. Your a good teacher and inspiration to a lot of techs like me who watch your videos to help us fix a vehicle better, faster and correctly doing so will make us last in this industry of auto / diesel vehicle repair. Your scanning and electrical diag just today helped me pin point a circuit failure today in fact. I was stressing about this issue and I sat down to smoke a cig and remembered one of your case studies on loaded circuit voltage testing. I immediately dropped my cig and went to the truck. I did what I saw you do and no BS found the problem within 15 mins of crawling all over that ISX15 engine bay. It turned out to be a wire that most of the strands broke due to high current and the wire just couldn’t flow the current any longer so a intermittent, incorrect or erratic fault was logged. I’d been T/S the fault all day and it was 2:30 with no more SRT (standard repair time) was available on this job, I was stressing about efficiency and your case study saved the day.

    Only the transmission fluid temp. Normal driving it doesn't get much hotter than 140-160 degrees. A few of those mountains in 110 degree desert heat I saw 220 (on the tranny, while water temp always stayed below 200). I was a little concerned as I don't really watch transmission fluid temp on anything I own, but everything was fine.

    I've seen my Silverado's tranny hit 210° on a long, steep grade. Was pulling 6k lbs. of flatbed trailer and '89 S10 Blazer behind me. 90° out and a very humid summer day. The coolant temp also moved off of 210° on the gauge and headed towards 260° (don't know the actual engine temp, but was getting hot, for sure). As soon as I crested the hill, both tranny & coolant temps dropped like a rock. Different animal, but it seems the cooling system was designed correctly on both our machines.

    2nd, the coolant filter and filter head valve are there for a number of reasons but aren’t always installed when an RV is built. The valve serves 2 purposes, one is to aid in the least coolant loss / air injection during a filter change. 2nd the valve is there to isolate the filter for removal to install a coolant filter head adaptor for flushing the cooling system which is no longer sold as newer ways and use of chemicals to aid flushing the cooling system. Back in the day you could install this adaptor (a die cast with a garden hose inlet and outlet) for flushing the cooling system As the engine was set to a (high idle / PTO) the tech could get the engine to operating temp, allow the engine thermostat to open 3-5 times and then slowly turn on the coolant filter valve to allow fresh cool water to enter the cooling system while old coolant / debris can exit. That took about 3-5 times to completely clean the cooling system. Now-A-Days, we just drain the coolant, add the appropriate amount of fleetguard restore to the radiator and top it off with fresh clean water and operate the engine to normal temp and let the thermostat open 3-5 times and then drain the mixture and flush once with one bottle of cascade dish washing soap to clean out any residual water / restore from the system and then flush the system until all soap is removed and drain the system then fill with a 50/50 mix of fleetguard compleat engine coolant.

    One must remember that the engine in this vehicle was designed to be used in a heavy duty application! Basically trucking, and heavy equipment! It's design was to make maintenance cheaper, and easier (translated to mean less labor time)! The coolant used is basically the same thing that you use in your car! You already ready know that green anti-freeze, orange anti-freeze, and yellow anti-freeze exists!! But what is the difference? To make it simple, use the color match, to help you!! But in commercial maintenance, there even more products available, so the ASTM number help guide you. Very much like working on cars, and the manual says us GM PART #xxxx sealant on something, and you know the you already use blue glue, or black glue, you won't go to GM for the part # they specify!! Then comes the total cost ordeal!! If you follow the recommended change interval, you could change coolant every two weeks, in an over the road truck application!! So, in stead of removing and replacing the entire liquid coolant volume, they replace the additive pkg within the coolant, based upon a chemical dip stick test! Changing the entire volume of 15 gal of coolant would cost extreme amounts of time, and money!! They would have to keep vast amounts of product on hand, and the time involved would rack up some serious hours, to the techs!! So, to make it simple, cheaper, more cost effective, and need less space to store material, they just change the additive package. And the filter manufacturers make that even easier, by adding amounts of the additive package to the filter, so it almost constantly has a manner to be added to! You would just take a dipper out of a bottle and dipped it in the coolant, and then matched the color to the sample chart on the bottle! Then you would add an additive amount to match what the test strip claimed that was needed!! The appropriate filter is the filter, just differing amounts of additive!! So, you know that the job of the coolant is pretty much like water!! But, things like corrosion inhibitors, for the dissimilar metals in the system, to prevent rust and corrosion. Lubricants, to help keep the water pump lubricated!!foam inhibitors, to prevent the buildup of foam in the coolant! You know that foam will not remove heat, and has a tendency to displace a liquid volume, thereby reducing the effectiveness of the coolant! It also has a preservative that's helps keep the rubber in the hoses pliable and flexible! All of that is carried in the coolant volume!! The filter removes large particles, that could build up, and block small passages! But when the additives get worn out and lost, you can replace the coolant, or the additives!! Ask your auto parts guy, if they have any coolant tester strips!! Or you could ask the local truck service plaza if they sell them, or will test it for you!! And I mean anyone interested, not just you, of course! You should feel comfortable knowing that even tho you didn't drain the entire system, and you used the proper style of new coolant, plus you used an additive package filter that was at the maximum additive, you will be protected for at least longer than you will own the R.V.

    Hey Paul, 1st as a cummins tech I’d like to just let you know about the High coolant temp switch, coolant pressure sensor, coolant level switch, coolant filter, block petcock drain and the overall reason for cooling system maintenance on a cummins Diesel engine. The temp switch, on some cummins engines there is a coolant and / or a oil temp switch that isn’t used for normal monitoring. They are both for high temp engine protection shutdown or engine protection torque derate. Both signal the engine ECM to either shut the engine down after a preset duration usually 5 sec - 5 min depending on the severity of the high temp issue. Like this, your cruising up a mountain highway, your CK ENG light comes on followed by a slight power loss then shortly thereafter the red STOP ENG light comes on followed by a severe power loss and in a very short time your RV just simply shuts off. Well, you scan the ECM and find a oil or coolant temp fault code something like this -> oil / coolant temp sensor above normal data valid, or shorted to high source. You right click the fault and find the temp got to 245+, the ecm warned you, then straight up told you then just shut you down. The power losses previous to the engine shutdown are called torque derates. Usually a percentage of torque is removed and steadily increased by percentage until a shutdown occurs.

    3rd, the block coolant petcock drain. It’s there mainly for engine oil cooler replacement. Once the now oil contaminated coolant is drained, you need to drain the oil cooler housing which is made into block. Then remove the oil filter and then remove the oil cooler housing / oil filter head. If you don’t drain the petcock prior to removing the oil cooler you make a huge mess of oil and coolant when the gasket seal is broken. The engine oil thermostat, oil 𝖯𝗋𝖾𝗌𝗌𝗎𝗋𝖾 regulator and high oil pressure relief valve are all installed in the removable oil cooler housing cover / oil filter head which also gives you two 1/8” NPT ports to check oil filter restriction or a convenient spot to install a aftermarket oil psi gauge, oil supply & return for an additional remote mounted oil cooler or even a oil supply to an additional turbo. We cummins tech use those two ports to verify engine oil 𝖯𝗋𝖾𝗌𝗌𝗎𝗋𝖾 when a oil psi fault is logged or if low / high oil pressure is an issue with that engine being diagnosed.

    Your discussion of an air pocket at the end reminded me of my experience with that about 19 years ago. Long story ... I had a '86 Grand Marquis (a different car of the same make, model, & vintage that I own now), and decided to do a coolant flush in preparation for my moving from MA to Phoenix, AZ towing a U-Haul trailer. I installed a tranny cooler, then proceeded with the flush. Only thing I did differently than the many times I had done this before, was I kept the t-stat, instead of replacing it. After the flush & refill of fresh 50/50 mix, I went racing down the road at full throttle, even downshifting the automatic trans for some engine braking. I took a left to make a loop back to my apartment when I had a very noticeable decrease in power - immediately after I noticed that, the "engine" light lit up red! I quickly pulled over, shut it down & threw it in neutral before I even stopped. Popped the hood to VIOLENT boiling coolant in the overflow tank! Watched the upper hose begin to deform and bulge, so I grabbed the lever on my Lev-R-Vent cap to relieve the pressure. Just about blew the rubber plug out of the overflow tank! What a sound - 10x more violent than what I had first saw when I first opened the hood! Swore that the tank deformed from the heat! This thing was COOKIN'!! Walked back to my apartment about a half mile up the road with all kinds of bad thoughts going through my head. I was supposed to leave for AZ in a WEEK!! Anyway I got back to the apartment, and grabbed a couple gallons of distilled water and headed back to the car. When I got back to the car, I pulled the dipstick to find CHOCOLATE MILK! I thought I was screwed! I refilled the system, and drove real slow back to the apartment. Got a ride to the auto parts store for a filter and 5 quarts of oil. I changed the oil that night, and the car was fine! Drove it all day the next day - no coolant in the oil! AMAZING! Ended up driving it all the way to Phoenix - 2,300 miles - pulling that U-Haul with a motorcycle , tools, and everything else I owned. Only issue I had the whole trip was a blown heater hose in the mountains, just over the AZ border. A deep 7/16" socket fixed that problem. :D After that, I swore I'd own one of these cars the rest of my life! Ended up driving it another 40k miles in 2 years after that incident. Sold that one in '01, after recovering it from being STOLEN for a YEAR, with 256k on the clock - was still running like a top! :D Love how simple that Cummins block is. Looks like everything is cut square on a big band saw, lol! Simplicity seems to equal durability, so I'm all for that! I always buy coolant at Wal-Mart, since it's the cheapest I can find it. I use Prestone 5 yr /150k mile green coolant in everything I own, and in customer's vehicles. Never had an issue with it, at least so far. Been using that for years, way before that 5/150 was even a thing. Great video, as usual!

The chain had 1.25" of slop in it, yet it still ran great and never jumped time! I was amazed. I never knew that gear was plastic, even after 20 years of owning these vehicles!

    Nice video. Another thing people may want to know is that if it’s been a long time sine the coolant filter has been changed, there may be a build up on the filter seat. This should be rubbed away with a fine piece of sand paper, then rubbed off. If not, the new filter seal won’t seat properly and will leak. 👍🏻

    4th, your surge / expansion tank looks to have a coolant level switch (left) and coolant pressure sensor. Both are / can be used to alert the operator to engine cooling system issues. One is the level and pressure switches can be used together to show the tech / you the cooling system level / 𝖯𝗋𝖾𝗌𝗌𝗎𝗋𝖾 is high / low which leads you to a blockage, bad pump, or even high level and pressure telling you combustion gasses are in the cooling system due to a cracked head, block, cylinder liner, or blown head gasket. This switch and sensor are / can be used for engine protection shutdown and / or engine protection torque derate with yellow check engine light (CEL), red stop engine light (SEL) and even yellow malfunction indicator light (MIL). The CEL and MIL are both used on newer cummins vehicles due to any engine / aftertreatment system fault that impacts the environment. Of course the mil light only goes out once a certain number of trips / KOER cycles have been completed. There are a lot of similarities between gasoline, diesel and natural gas engines, but natural gas and Diesel engine use them not only to alert the operator but also the tech to as what the severity or duration of the fault(s) have occurred.

    Paul at GM we only used a distilled water mix in a factory fill - not city tap water . Couldn't tell if that was long life coolant premixed or concentrate. From what I have understood mixing with household water reduces a long life coolant to a 2 -3 year coolant change frequency . I'd be interested to hear what your thoughts are on using tap water. Most coolant manufactures do state just water on their labelling.

    TMC RP ... stands for The Maintenance Council Recommended Practice number whatever. When changing out the coolant, definitely drain the block. 17 psi cap is OK, as it just raises the boiling point of the coolant a little bit. If bleeding air out of the cooling system is necessary, use the air bleed line at the block point you mentioned. because the thermostat does not need to be open to accomplish that; whereas, at the coolant outflow hose/pipe equipped with the pipe plug, the thermostat needs to be open, and it is still not the highest point in the system where air can collect. I would have recommended that you use Cummins approved extended life coolant, which does not require the addition of Diesel Coolant Additive (DCA).

    5th and lastly, the proper Cummins cooling system venting is crucial to not cracking heads, causing cavitation erosion on cylinder liners and engine overheats. The 3/8” plug you pointed to isn’t the vent it’s a port for coolant supply to a heater core, tranny cooler and / or multiple heater cores like with RV’s, on-highway / linehaul trucks with a sleeper. The correct vents are the vent hose right by the front engine lifting eyelet you pointed too, the plug on your engine water outlet / upper radiator pipe, and any of the other vents that go to the surge tank. All vents should be bleed at the component their screwed too and then again at the surge tank to assure the coolant is getting back to the surge tank. So vent both ends of every surge tank vent and and plugs on pipes that go higher than the engine / radiator. Cummins common practice is to bleed all vents at the components 1st with engine off then operate the engine to normal temp and bleed off the surge tank pressure 1st via the rad cap then bleed the vents at the tank to assure the coolant is flowing through all vents to the surge tank.

    If you check with Cummins you will find that you need to be sure that you're using the correct antifreeze and that it meets their specifications. (appears that you checked that). Recommend using a 50/50 mix. Diesel engines are unique in that they are a sleeved engine unlike most automobile blocks. There are many dissimilar metals in in higher concentrations in the cooling system and most require a special antifreeze. (If you use the wrong antifreeze it can cause cavitation, or pitting. Most shops today use distilled water, the reason why is that many local water sources have impurities that will shorten the antifreeze life and could do damage to your engine over the long haul. When a vehicle come off the assembly line the antifreeze in most cases is a 50/50 mix with distilled water. Before you say BS, think Love Canal, and why do you need to use distilled water when topping off you battery?

    HAHA, that plug gets 'em every time! And the best and fastest way to do it is with a vacuum lift. Don't listen to no bull from somebody else, pull a vacuum, place the hose in your fresh coolant, turn the valve, when the gauge reads zero you're full, same with cars and light trucks.

    Paul, I think that you did it the right way. That plug on the head may likely be seized in there, you might break your tols trying to remove it. I use a method to burp the system of air, by using the spill free funnel~ g35driver.com/forums/attachments/engine-drivetrain-forced-induction-diy/105511d1241072845-diy-fix-coolant-air-bubble-heater-not-working-temperature-jumps-loud-boom-lisle-221501.jpg. I fill the system, then attach the funnel and fill it halfway up. Then start the engine and let it warm up to operating temp. Once the thermostat opens, i keep an eye on the level as the air comes out and refill as needed to keep the funnel from running dry. I'll also bring the rpms up to about 2500 to push what air is left in the system out for about a minute, let it idle for a minute, then repeat several more times. That burps the majority of the air out. There may still be a little bit, but the overflow bottle can take care of that, just keep an eye on the level for the next few days. I've had too many instances where the plug won't move, or the bleed screw is in a plastic housing and trying to open it causes the entire screw and insert to come loose. After a couple of times with those problems, i use the funnel method exclusively.
