2001 Travel Supreme 36KSO1
Spartan Chassic Cummins 260 ISB
Allison 5 speed
1. 2 rear blow-outs , had spares
2. Engine fire.
Cause; 2/0 copper to gen-set shorted out between gen-set and frame.
3 Engine; Started engine after 28 days of nonuse. Service engine light
came on with audible alarm, 1min. later red blinking engine light came
on,30 seconds later engine shut off.
Coolant level sensor was to blame, because plastic type sight bulb in
overflow tank from radiator cracked and allowed coolant to spray out
untill 2 gal. tank was empty. Unplugged sensor to restore engine power. Replaced plastic with metal plug. Added coolant in 2 gal. tank
to bring everything back to normal.
