Title: Engine heat problems
Post by: prevostart on June 26, 2011, 07:52:32 pm
My foretravel is fine but our friends have a 04 Tiffin  Allegro Bus and traveling it's getting hot (220 buzzer going off). He never had problems till last year. He just put a new hydraulic pump on and didn't help. He has Cummings 350 HP , My Cummings is the M11 425 HP and not an issue .  Any suggestions?  Thanks  Art

Art,
It sounds like a radiator issue; does the temp go down when he slows down to 55-60 mph? If so, it could be plugged core or loose fins, though fins usually go in older (10-15 yrs) coaches. If temp stays high at slower speeds, may be thermostat.

Assuming side radiator:

Clean outside of radiator (actually CAC)
Change thermostat-- inexpensive and a possible cause.
Verify operation of the side radiator fan(s).  Some have two speed fans and need to verify it kicks to high when temperature rises.
