    Does anyone know where I can get a repair manual for my Cummins N14 redtop? I have a overheating issue everytime I come to a big hill fully loaded and I want to know where my thermostats are located and how to take em out and test em??? If its not them I thought about a flushing my radiator. Anyone had this problem or have any advice?

    A PDF FORM REPAIR MANUAL would really help me out alot out there on the road!!!

    Is your fan coming on? Is rad plugged and need to be washed out? Are the cooling fins on the rad itself in good shape? As far as thermostats go, once you have them out, you just replace them. Testing and then reinstalling is a waste of time unless they are still kinda new. If they are a few years old I would just replace them. Any Cummins dealer or associate will be able to get your manual for you. I think your looking at about $4-500 though.

    I just bought a CD for my cummins 903 off ebay. Came with manuals for another 6 engines, and I think the N14 might have been one of them. None of the files were named or properly indexed, but it only takes about an hour to go through and rename everything once you copy the files to your computer.

    Best $14 I've spent there in a while.

    Ya the fan comes on! But she still gets so hot the lights start blinking ENGINE SHUTTING DOWN so i pull over and pop my hood and let her run at idle until she cools. Then I get as far as i can and pull over again. i stopped at a regular car wash spray booth and stuck my nose in (cause thats all that will fit) and popped my hood and tried to blow through my radiator with a pressure washer from the back but that didnt help, and thats all I did so far!!! Still looking for the problem. Radiator flush is probly my next move. Thanks for your reply bro :)

    Sure. If I can get a decent connection tonight in grand rapids I'll double check that its the N14 and upload it.

    I'm 23. I've been pirating for over 15 years know. If I knew you were savvy with proxies i'd send it peer to peer.

    Alright. Just let me finish my steak and eggs and I'll try to get it uploaded before I'm hold up in the commode all night (if I did in fact have it; either way I'll list the ones I have if anyone is interested).

    The food in Gary, IN is as risky as opening your door out here after dark, but I like to live on the edge. Decided to listen to the radio rambos before bed instead of sitting at the receiver all night. I'm not even sure they understood i'd be getting there a day early when I called this morning. C'est la vie.
