WB-40 Cooler Configuration
Curt:
After Pete had his temp problem it inspired me to take a close look an my coach. Your set up may be similar, don't know. This is what I found. The Hayden oil cooler in front of the radiator street side cools the oil used for power steering and the water radiator cooling fan. The transmission, retarder and the engine oil are independently attached to the water cooling system via heat exchangers(I think that's the term) The engine oil heat exchanger is bolted to the side of the block and has a drain on the bottom. I'm not certain how the trans and retarder cool. However, the coolant lines are attached to both. None of the coolant lines is attached directly to the radiator but are routed off of a collection tank or manifold. Leroy Eckert 1990WB-40 Niceville, FL |

While my 'bird may be different ... when the radiator was opened up,
there was a transmission fluid heat exchanger in the lower end-piece of the radiator. I didn't see how it was attached to the transmission, but there were hose fittings on the outside of the piece. (My retarder is the exhaust type, so does not have any cooling need.) Pete Masterson aeonix1@...

Pete:
Thanks for your input. I park my bus on concrete in a family owned park in Historic DeFuniak Springs, FL. I walk around the bus and look for evidence on the concrete. If I don't see anything on the concrete I get lazy. I went under the engine area today and came out very happy. No leaks, just a little dust that a water hose will clean. I never really considered how important a radiator is to operating a bus. It is the truly the life line of the bus. Thanks again.
