'04 Bounder 38N Radiator Expansion Tank Issue.
1 Attachment(s)
Okay Bounder brainacks, I have a pinhole leak in my expansion tank (see photo). This is in a Frieghtliner chassis & the tank has the Frieghtliner logo on it.
Who has changed this item? Who has the parts info? Who has repaired/resealed this tank? Please reply to this post if you can. Attachment 257785 |
I have drained one using a hand pump I got at Harbor Freight for $5. Then used a soldering gun with flat tip and “welded” back and forth over the pin hole. I had another one in a 2003 Fleetwood Discovery that had been exposed to the sun and was dry cracking and seeping. I replaced that one using the little hand pump to empty it. I got the tank from the local Freightliner service center using my vin number. Worst part was leaning over the ward robe door slides (use a pillow). It was just hose clamps and a few screws. Good luck.

Call local Freightliner shop with your vin #. I got mine a few years ago there and it was about $75 which I thought was a fair price one. I think they are used on some box trucks. You will need to pull the floor in the closet up. Only way to get to the hoses.

Thanks to all that have responded so far. My DW has been after me to reorganize the closet anyway.

Well, maybe I should buy a lotto ticket. Called a Frieghtliner truck shop in Missola MT on Sat.
The parts person was very helpful. He had the tank I need in stock. If all goes well, I'll stop by Monday (after the pump gets fixed) and pick it up. Everything is crossed. |
