Just a quick note, my son with SOB had an overheating problem for over a year. He had replaced everything he could think of. He got to replacing the water pump thinking bad impeller. He called me and stated he had to use a blanket to lay on the top of the engine it was so hot. I had him check the block heater, it was switched ON. Either one of the dogs or kids had switched it on! I couldn't help my laughter. Felt bad for the expense he went through to find it. No problem since.

LOL
Some stories are worth repeating. Too funny

Hello, Lynn here-not Arthur- I am using his computer. On a gas engine one way it might over heat is if it has a bad head gasket or cracked head that is letting exhaust gas leak into the coolant. Could be the same for diesel? best way to check is to look for bubbles in the water when engine is cold looking through the radiator cap/fill hole.

Back to "burping", our coach has valves to "burp" the system at the high points. Like at the heater hose to heater core connection. On "Furry", actually, that is the high point. Just FYI.....
