Hey brother does it show you red engine lights and did your def lights been red this is what happened to me and i deleted my def long time ago but it goes away in 5 seconds scares shit out of me
@abdiqaniadan2349 yeah, it happened to me 2 or 3 times, real quick, but scary as hell. When I took old one apart you could see a "water trail" on inside on the electrical board. Hope this helps you bro, be safe!
Thanks for the video, I am facing the same issue with the coolant reservoir, will try that , spray WD40 and wait , then try to loose the 🔩 Thank you 🙏🏻
😆 just happened to me last night in 🧊 icy road sharp curve ..no moon light ..pitch blackin the Forrest... I too got closer to Jesus and thanked him for not letting me Die ...
There is quite a bit of material online regarding this issue and I am convinced Freightliner knows about it by now. I wonder what it takes for such a big company to recognize and address such a dangerous flaw in their equipment... maybe a lawsuit?
I never did get the bolt out...I cut the plastic off on the new one, and just never did bolt that one back in..Its been 4 years still fine missing that 1 bolt
Another option when removing the bolt is to get your impact on the bolt like you're trying to remove it and let er rip in reverse. It will heat up the plastic enough eventually to make the removal a bit easier. That there is a great tip. I've replaced maybe a few hundred of these surge tanks.
I've done the same thing and broked my radiator top side and had to replace it I heard there is an easier way to do it you just have to use a torch and heat the bolt until the plastic gets a bit loose and then remove the bolt .
What I did I cut the tank and left the bolts on there with some plastic around the bolts from the old tank. Than I drilled the new tank out where bolts will go, I made the holes little bigger to go over the old bolts on radiator and drilled few new little holes on new tank that is sitting on plastic from old tank close to bolts and zip tied them together by both bolts.
Thanks for your video, I tried it all and at the end I used cordless impact wrench from harbor freight for 5-7 minutes to spin the bolt with insert constantly pushing up with flat screwdriver finally it got hot and plastic around insert either grinded or melted away and came off
Update Please guys be careful, because I did this and I ended up taking it to the dealer to put a new radiator, and what I did is when I use this method to get the insert out with the slide hammer with all the beat to get the bolt out I cracked the top plastic cover of the radiator and after I put the new bolts and the JB Weld everything was fine and no leaks but when I got on the road for about 40 miles I got the shut down message on the screen and I stopped and it was coolant every where, My advice not to beat the bolt and the insert with the slide hammer find another way to get it out like heating it up or grind the surrounding of it or something else, the slide hammer did not work for me
@@mattnewman6219 I know! ... I just found out my 2018 Freightliner Classic, is throwing codes, but nothing's wrong however it takes forever to get into a dealership! Any tips would be greatly appreciated number one..... and it's amazing how hard it is to keep your business rolling
@@mctransport1954 not sure. These things seem to throw codes for everything! I guess I'm kinda lucky because my truck will display the code spn on the dash, buddy of mine has almost same truck and his won't show codes??? Good luck with it.
I followed your video and was able to do it as well and I also used two bolts coming straight up with JB Weld; thanks a great deal for posting this it saved me a lot.
