CAR no longer service over the road CAT engines. Freightliner is the Authorized Service Provider.CAT C7
Change coolant, thermostats, clean cac and radiator and possible hoses and belt. Appx $3,000.00, quote.
I read on aforum from 2007 it cost $608.00 to change coolant and thermostats.
I cn live with that. I could do it all myself a few years ago but not now for cost of coolant 1400+ a gallon and two thermostats and possibly a belt 20.00 and a few hoses at most 100.00 or possibly a total of $300.00 or less.
Coolant Freightlienr Long life, or whatever they call it was changed in 08 so it is time. If they had put a coolant filter on it like they do semis then a filter change and possibly some additive would have been it plus thermostats.
Silicon coolant hoses should last a very long time.
On engine an generator service and air filter 400.00 or so without air filter 300.00-450.00 possibly. Trans fluid change on Allison should be around 400.00 at Allison Dealer.
These Speeco service centers advertise a lot cheaper prices. We don't have on in our home neck of the woods so I have not used them.
I m thinking of finding one here in AZ to asak about price on coolant service, if they do it.
