05 Cat Engine Coolant change
Our 05 Revoltuino with Cat C7 has not had the coolant changed since 2008.
Freightliner(Cat doesn't do any service to over the road Cat engines anymore) wants appx $3,000.00 to change coolant hoses and possibly fan belt and clean cac and radiator, from draft tube residue. We installed a pre 04 filter for down road draft tube in 08 and cleaned cac and radiator with dawn and water from engien side with engine fan running but possibly not good enough.
Anyway the $3000.00 figure is something I want to avoid.
Speedco says 100.00 an hour and coolant and thermostats,maybe hoses which are now 15 years old!Engine has about 38,000 miles on it service regularily, probably too frequently, and has been stored inside for most of its life.
Anyone had Speedco or anyone else do a coolant change etc?
