We really appreciate the effort and time that you put into these videos!
Another informative and entertaining video from my favorite diesel expert.
Very good video, without many unnecessary conversations, straight to the point
I need an Adept Ape channel for Cummins. No more Cats here in California. Miss my 3406B😓
Love the detail in your videos Josh! Really appreciate the time you put into them! I have bought some parts for my 3126, can't imagine how much CAT gets for that oil cooler. Lol
learning the balance of getting that cooler on would be a real treat
Thanks for the videos, I've learned a lot of information, I just cleaned up my block and head using my block sander ,but I used brake fluid while I was sanding, it worked great, I use brake fluid when I drill holes in steel and when I hone out a cylinder, it works great,,try it out sometime .thanks again.
That gunk at the end reminded me of that 1950's movie with Steve McQueen, called 'The Blob'.
Love the videos keep up the good work👍🏻
Excellent video!! Thanks very much for sharing!!!
Thanks for the advice. Made it a lot easier than I thought
Love your videos. Thanks for sharing.
CRACKED piston crown, (DT466). That poor engine, ran its heart out. Sad, how some people treat their stuff. I would say, it, had major neglect issues, and a serious side of non maintenance.
Great video please keep doing more on the how to do videos!!
Very good information Sir!
Did an oil cooler on a twin turbo C13 a few weeks ago. Time consuming. Neglected truck. Had several broken exhaust studs, one church going flex pipe, rusted out flange on the exhaust pipe etc. Etc. I have used commercial flushes but Sani Flush toilet cleaner has worked well for me
Another Great Video. Thank You :)
My Cat is gone and I’m way happier with my Series 60, but I still love your videos! Keep it up!!
Love the videos bro 😎 sorry I’m a bit late!
Never heard of the cascade before. We always used original blue dawn.
Used cascade at the KS shop. Didn't like it too much because it would settle at the lower hose of not premixed right. Used the cat flush and wasn't strong enough. Used Fleetguard Restore and that stuff was awesome. Can't get it anymore at the shop, so I'll see if they can swing some Dawn at the shop.
Thank you
Never thought of dawn to de crud the system.but Cummins makes a flush that works Beautiful.
I have used a radiator degreaser made by ve labs L11 in a cummins isx that had a failed oil cooler and the stuff worked awesome will not use anything else. It was recommended by a local industrial radiator shop.
Sludge already had a sad name. Thats the worst , beyond the worst I've ever seen.. Beyond ouch. Great video. Jim
Dig the look with the beard and hat. I would do the same but it would be all gray!
Great video.that was a lot of information for a 9.49 minute video and I understood all of it.b that's a big deal in my case.lol
What a coincidence I just had to reseal my oil cooler on my 5.9 Cummins after the oil filter housing was discovered to be stripped by the previous owners when I was dropping in a new stock manifold and turbo. Just got it buttoned up a few hours ago.
Dawn dish soap is amazing!! How many times did you have to flush that truck coolant before it was clean?
Well with the cooler off we tried using a solvent sprayer with water and soap to flush out the block, heater core, radiator and sure compressor the best we could probably got 50% out doing that is my guess. Then 3 Dawn flushes and a water flush.
@@AdeptApe Hey, do you use 1 bottle of dawn to 10/11 gallons of water? And to be able to flush the heater core as well, what would I need to do? Just do the cooling system flush with the heater on wide open?
2002 c15 6NZ89028. Turbo seems to have went out heard a pop and truck has now had huge loss of power and black soot/oil out the exhaust stacks. When I do my oil change/coolant flush/change along with the new turbo and exhaust manifold. Should I replace the oil cooler? or should testing the coolant currently in the truck be the first thing I do to check for fuel mixture in it like you said?
Wow, how could you let your coolant get that plugged up ? No daily checks huh !!! Great Video Josh
Lack of maintenance, possibly.
It was a catastrophic failure of oil cooler welds happens very fast
When a oil cooler fails, you don't know it until you find oil in the coolant or notice higher than normal oil temps.
How did you manage to take the bellose hose off? .I can't seem to remove the pressure clamp that hold together to the upper turbo. Manifold and a metal hose are in the way
Blew my turbo few days ago. Do you think I should replace the oil cooler or can I get away with not changing it the same time I replace the exhaust manifold and turbo and air cleaner air filters. Will I be okay by just changing the oil, cleaning air filters, and intake tubing? I just flushed my coolant with dawn/hot water with your flush guide video for coolant systems and replaced with shell rotella ELC NF 2 weeks ago so I really don’t want to have to do it again? I ran the truck about 200 miles loaded at 80k Ibs on the faulty turbo (didn’t have a choice had to make it back home didn’t want a ridiculous tow bill) I did baby it the whole way tho to try and avoid using boost from the turbo
So mine leaks right where the front adaptor goes into the cooler itself, I assume the orange O-ring is bad, It only leaks when its below like 35* out, Is that oring easily changed out? It does not look like much has to come loose, just the 2 bolts holding the adaptor to the water pump?

Lestoil also does a good job for flushing
Never tried Lestoil but often wondered how it would work
It has been years sense I've worked on any heavy equipment. As that said I have a 1993 B 425 mechanical. Where can I find a part number for this cooler ?
Is there a inlet and outlet on the oil cooler or direction doesn’t matter?
Can I remove oil filter housing from cooler to change o-ring where filter housing bolts to block on 3406b? Or do I have to remove the whole oil cooler? Thanks!
❤❤❤❤❤
THANKS 😂
Was that international with the cracked pistons running when it came in?
What can cause black deposits on antifreeze cap and expansion tank neck? I’ve heard the compressor can leak oil into antifreeze also, head gasket, maybe oil cooler? No problems with engine otherwise, oil is clean, doesn’t heat. I’ve had this issue for a few years and no one knows what it’s from. Cat 3406e 2ws single turbo
The inside of the rubber hoses deposit a black residue especially when the radiators has not been flushed out. Take a hose off and put a clean rag in the hose see what comes out.ex Cat mac.
@@bernardkinsky1637 so if there’s the same black residue inside the hoses I need to replace them and flush the system?
The hoses are dust old and disintegrating?
Is it the hoses that fro from the radiator to engine?
Same problem, did you find out what those black deposits were? Thank you.
Great video. I have a question . Can I change the o ring on the rear housing without removing oil cooler and front housing ?? Thank you
If you mean can you just remove the rear oil cooler housing, yes you can. You just need a new gasket and oring.
@@AdeptApe thank you man . That’s exactly what I meant . It got under zero today in Denver and leaked like crazy from that rear o ring .
I was always told to use soap that wouldn't foam or bubble such as a liquid dish soap, that the bubbles cause cavitation in the pump and wouldn't have proper flow to flush very well. Just wondering if you had further thoughts on this?
Bubbles don’t really form beneath the surface so if the coolant is full it should flow through the pump even if it’s sudsy on the top.
I have a twin turbo acert I keep blowing the forward pre cooler hose every month I change it what might cause this issue ?
Hi how much would be labor and part cost in average,
Thanks for the Video
What was the reason that you had the oil pan off, Josh?
How long can the engine run in that condition? ... Without causing further damage. In my case... Coolant was fairly clean coming from top of engine(so to speak) When I drained radiator I drained about 3gallons of mixture from it.
I get to put an oil cooler on in the middle of no where organ just got to find the parts now
It failed on me at 1.4 mil miles. Did full overhaul after, it took me 40 hrs of cleaning flushing replacing all hoses they started to sweat. It also cost me to dispose all that "gray soure cream" $1600 and to get to the shop $8700. My advice - change b4 it breaks but when it breaks it will cost 10x more
What part numbers for the orings and gasket ?
Do you have to drain oil to change it or just antifreeze
How much dawm do I use of I'm doing a flush and how do I make sure I get it all out before adding coolant back in
Hello Josh , again great video, you got cool cap ( hat) looks good o n you , can you post part or item code or number so I can buy too.
Where should I start on a C7 thats been setting for 5 years
How much Dawn do you recommend using on the flush?
Saludos amigo exelente info. Nos gustaría tu info. En español tienes contenido muy importante, tengo un cat c-15 y t sigo con todos tus videos, como puedo mandarte una ayuda economica?
I noticed oil in my coolant reservoir. Could it be my oil cooler. And did you replace The Whole oil cooler or was it just. We gaskets. And also do I have to drain all my coolant to determine if the oil coolant is the problem
And I’m going to be doing this weekend I’m going to be commenting a lot I hope you answer man.
Thoughts on using the cat cooling system cleaner?? Vs using dish soap
I have used a cat cooling system cleaner and it is expensive for what you get is cleans but not like dish soap. The one thing I loved about the cat over the soap is it didn’t foam up at all so it didn’t take long to flush system after it was run through. But for price it’s cheaper to use dishwasher soap with a quick shot of dish soap is my choice it doesn’t foam up as bad as straight dish soap. That’s my experience with cat cooling system cleaner
@AdeptApe how long did it take to flush that really badly failed cool? Just had one of our mxs fail like that and got it all replaced and on flush number 2 and feel like a got a few days left to go😂
Dt46 the fuel was crank up when you see the injector spray patterns on the pistion and not in the cup of the pistion it was crank
Have you ever tested the oil cooler ,outside the engine to see bubble using the pressurized air ??...,
How did u get the second job cleaned out tho
Adept.. would u happen to know why my 06 C15 Acert would mainly always show 40-50 psi at full boost but sometimes only shows 10-20 psi at full boost? Thanks
Sounds like your in a derate. Or FRC is holding rack back.
Man I remember my first one
I got hosed by coolant hard
Do you have a video replacing a c12 cat oil cooler
What do you guys think of adding Lucas in the oil cat 3406e?
Lucas oil addictive? Never a bad idea.
Hello sir.what is the problem of our c18 it always overheat. We Already change thermostat. When we are in towing the engine will overheat but when its steaming it just normal. Can u suggest what to do sir?
Replaced the engine oil cooler O-rings and no leaks and was working fine but now fuel finds its way into engine oil? What do yall think it can be? Double checked my work and its right.
How many times do you flush coolant system with soap ?
Is delo 10w30 good oil for 07 acert engine
We use a dishwasher tablet or 2 here in Africa
Why is it you don't like automatic dish detergent ? I read a Cat service bulletin before flushing my 3406, and it recommended a non foaming automatic dish detergent, if cat flush was not available. It actually worked very well for me.
It works okay and works fine for a small contamination problem. Dawn on my experience works best though.
@@AdeptApe
Good to know. Thanks.
Adept Ape How much dish soap do you put in per flush. Thanks
Had a bad one on a 3406e 6 dawn flushes later it ran clean what a nightmare.
How much dawn soap would you add per flush. Going thru it now
I have a C15 with engine oil temp at 250 and coolant is at 210 no oil in coolant and no coolant in oil I;m thinking possible oil cooler problem any idea.
I am not a professional, but it could be blow by or exhaust gases past piston rings into engine block then causing oil temp to be higher. If you notice engine oil temp higher especially under a load this perhaps is the cause...
That last engine is going to take a LOT of Dawn.
More work cleaning out the cooling system then to actually do the repair, lol. Holy crap that’s one of the worst I’ve ever seen.
How often does an oil cooler become clogged, restricting cooler flow?
Ok
I saw this problen in the ISX but replace that its easier than C15
Do you have a video for mxs twin turbo water pump
No, I do need to make a video on that next time I do one.
@@AdeptApe is it anyone you can help me with a step by step. Or at least let me know what i need to remove to gain access. It looks like a lot needs to be removed. I’m no super mechanic but it seems straight forward
Anyway
4:54 That oil passage side doesn't look very oily to me.
When I remove the oil filter on a 3406e
It keeps dripping oil
What does that mean
Also I do have antifreeze in the oil
It's the oil above coming out you can't take too long
Wow I've never seen one that bad.
Hello sir, can i get cat c15 manual book from you please?
Little late but I absolutely swear by Tide powder it is the best stuff, I like dawn too but powdered Tide doesnt bubble nearly as much and it works so fast
Moteur Packard M X13
What did you guys do about the last motor, with the nasty oil?
I was wondering the same thing. Were you able to even do the repair or did you recommend an out of frame rebuild. I'm assuming if you did the repair it was a best effort, no warranty job.
Probably a complete oil system and cooling system flush.
How much would a job like this cost
Does anyone know if this flushing method is safe on a 6.0 powerstroke the dawn soap flush method
Don't see why not.
Somebody had the ol dt466 turned up waaay to much😂
Dawn is the only thing to use
How do
Anyone knows what’s the function of the pre cooler ?
Its an air to water inter cooler ahead of the air to air. It is used on the twin turbo engines that run higher boost pressure hence more heat in the charge air
Damn...that oil...is gonna give me nighmares...
Is it possible for an oil cooler to fail and not have contamination either way? My dad had an issue where the coolant temp was fine but the oil temp would be over 220 constantly. I kept telling him it was an issue but he kept running it and ended up with a blown head gasket and possibly a cracked head. Thanks. Love the videos
what series engine? Cat im hoping, E model, acert?
@@JasonSmith-xw1qp It was a C-15 2006 ACERT
@@kakarot82 to my knowledge acert engines do not have a oil temp sensor. They only correlate the water temp, engine load and I think rpm to come up with the temp. All mine run 200 plus. Sometimes up to 240. Acerts do have a tendency to blow gaskets from time to time though!
Is c15 and 3406e the same ??
Similar, but the C15 is newer and based on the 3406E. Oil cooler design is very similar.
@@AdeptApe thanks in watching all your videos great information my family I just got a freightliner classic c15 twin turbo my UA-cam channel is LONGWAY FARGO I'll be shouting you out be your videos are definitely a blessing and reflections 💯🗣💨💥yahooo ✌️
