Detroit 60 series 14 litre

Yeah there seems to be a lot of hurry up and wait truckin goin on these days but you are better of at home,there's allway's next week and hopfully the pressure washer did the job,keep us posted.

 

yes still gutless, mine is set at 560 1850 but wont outpull my other gutless 04 series 60 500 1650 detroit. the 560 is a scr engine (urea)

 

a mechanic bud of mine swears that keeping the turbo induction band clamps torqued to specs as opposed to barely snugged up,makes lots of difference during hard pulls.The air is forced into turbo better and reduces over heating and provides better pulling.
get a pittsburgh performance or bully dog chip.

 

If the cooling system is contaminated to the point that the radiator is plugged then that is your fault. I am willing to bet you do not have Dex-cool in the system, green crap, I would bet maybe even use DCA4 as an additive. Doing it right costs a bit of money, not doing it right costs you a lot more.
Well if the system was contaminated enough to plug the radiator then you have the bunk and cab heaters yet to do, you can blame Freightliner for that to.

 

Well then you should have brought it to me, and I would have done an inspection for you.
I would install a coolant filter, get the cooling system flushed, and the heater cores blown out, backwards, you have some work to do to get it right, compensating for poor practices before you got it. Washing soda is cheap all it takes is time, and it is better with access to air to blow out the heaters that is where the aluminum bloom crud will be now, you want to get it out and clean the system. Then fill it with either Dex-cool my favorite, easy to monitor, or Noat.

 

yes my new 560hp dosen't out pull my 515hp series 60 ethier
