Hello, one of the truck has no coolant leak seeing anywhere , but the coolant keep missing , do you know what is the issue causing the problem? Please let me know, thank you ( freightliner cascadia 2017)

Hi Brother, my radiator on a 2016 freightliner cascadia broke today and I was watching your video to replace it and at the end you mentioned that we must do a pressure test. How can I do that? Thanks for the video , it is very helpful

@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228

Thanks for watching and reaching out. The pressure test I was talking about was with a cooling system pressure tester. An attachment to the coolant reservoir to put the system under pressure. Works best as you can regulate the amount of pressure needed for certain leaks. If that’s not feasible than a regen will certainly build up system pressure to.

great video ,kind wondering what kind of pressure tester are you using ?

My pressure tester can be found on Amazon or eBay. This particular one came from a Matco dealer.

Nice camera work with this one. Not too far not too close. Just right. I plan to be a mobile mechanic, so for this job I have 2 questions., would it be smart and possible to use some sort of engine hoist to remove the radiator and the actual hood? For draining the coolant, is there any tricks to draining it without spills?

Thanks for watching and reaching out. You gta get creative for the hoods. We use cherry pickers with a chain, forklift with a chain,and the old three people carry off method. As for draining the coolant if you mean from the radiator it shouldn’t be making a mess if you have a container directly under that drain plug. If you mean from the block I use a hose on that outlet nipple to a container.

@@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228 I'm not sure if my banjo bolt or the union is leaking. So I ordered both. Will that leak be high pressure to where I should drain something first, or is it a slow leak to where I can put rags on every thing to catch it since the bolt will be right in and right out.

Hi where you guys located?

Do you need to bleed air out of the cooling system on these semi's? I've been a trailer mechanic for four years now and I'm picking up truck work on the side.

@bustedknucklebydieseldr3228

Great question, and yes definitely purge all air out of the cooling system. If not the weak link in the systems could be compromised. Most likely the EGR coolers. Cummins is most susceptible to those failures due to air in the system. Congrats on the side work. Hope it pays off.

Hey you have good attitude really positive and you are a great mechanic I'm at the frightliner i had a coolant leak earlier and I'm waiting to get in the shop to see where the leak is coming from 2 weeks ago my had a leak and I had to replace it but then today I had another coolant leak I'm hoping it's not the radiator they told me the OEM is like $2,400 and the aftermarket Alliance brand is $1,100 I really need a reliable mechanic coming to freightliner is getting to expensive can you be my mechanic?

Thanks for positive comments. Seems like online chatter is always negative crap. So makes a good change. Sumer time is the time for cooling systems to be put under the most pressure. So they’ll always find the weakest point of exist. I’m doing 3 radiators back to back as we speak. And yes they are crazy $$$. I actually work for a dealer group so I can under stand how pricey they can be. But if your looking to try another we’ll always take you at ours

Detroits don’t have a coolant bleed line. Cummins does have one. But to get the air out running the unit till the thermostat opens would be best.
