SP36 Alternator Schematic
Does anyone have an alternator schematic for this unit? The alternator is
supposedly putting out a charge, but it isn't charging the batteries. Thanks, Dan Mahoney 1991 SP36 Bloomfield, MI |

Hi Bob   Did you ever figure out how to keep your engine compartment any cooler & your fan from coming on as often?   Â

Hope you are having a good time in SD. I found, as mentioned in previous posting, that my oil cooler had leaked oil into the cooling system. A big mess. I still have the sooling system conditioner/cleaner in the coach so I don't know if the heating problen causing the frequent cycling of the fan is solved or not. I expect not. I had a long discussion with the folks at Caterpillar who installed both the new engine and the new radiator. The solution has not been found in spite of the installation of a 16" electric thermostat controlled fan to help the mechanical one. It still cycles more often than the old rad with old engine. This is on-going but I am almost certain now that the rad is the culprit. I will let you know when the problem is solved. Have a safe trip.

The radiator shrouding is important to match up and reinstall properly plus fan
speed and clutch performance is important too. If I had a 3208 I would definitely find a two speed aftermarket fan that would work. It may cycle more often becaue the t stat was shadetree engineered???? In an old 3208 dumptruck I would always try and manually engage my fan at low rpm when the temp gauge clued me of a soon to clutch-up event. I didnt want the belt and bearing to experience a 2800 rpm abrupt torque-kick. with the two speed you could shade-tree engineer a t stat to turn it on at a lower temp and may never have it go to high speed??. I have this fan clutch on a 92 N-14. I think this will solve many 3208 issues. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MU7jNs0WM8 Greg OfTim&Greg 94ptca > Hi Don. > Hope you are having a good time in SD. > I found, as mentioned in previous posting, that my oil cooler had leaked oil into the cooling system.
