Hello.
I have a cat d6d with a slight warm running problem. A large group of fins along the bottom are bent over and to get to them I assume I'll have to take the radiator out. They are on the lower sections on the engine side. Do I remove the hood and the hard nose? Or just the hood and the limb risers and pull straight up?
While I am doing this....do you think I'll develop a leak if I start combing the fins? The radiator is at least 25 years old.
I've ran cascade in it many times.
Machine isn't getting in red currently but I can predict a problem in summer. It so close to red already. I take care and try to blown the fins out with purple stuff and compressed air using a suction gun and also a blow gun with a brake line attached.
Do I just reuse my upper and lower cap and put in a radiator core if I buy new?
How much is a radiator? Where should I buy one?
I would appreciate any help you guys offer.
I am much appreciative!
