COOLING PERFORMANCE

Loss of performance due to fueling ‚de-rate may also be experienced under high load/duty conditions with the temperature gauge reading normal.

Cause

The thermostat may have been manufactured away from specification, allowing a small amount of coolant to bypass the thermostat from the cold side of the system.

Action

Where a customer complaint of the above is confirmed, replace the thermostat.
