Last summer I installed one of the multi piece Stengle Bros. pieces on a garbage, (rolloff) truck. If you can stand the price, it is the one to use citing what has been stated already. 

Not a hard job, but heavy.

How hot did things get before you changed the stat?

Driver said light came on then they stopped never went above 200 driver said but we know how that goes..it doesn't get hot now but light comes on and if you don't add water truck shuts down by computer. 

Running 71000 bout 8 10 hr day use bout half gallon 2 to 3 days .you can see where it pushes out on the frame tanks have more then normal water

Does it pull back into the top tank after you turn the truck off and it cools down.    If it don't top tank rad cap might not be sealing up good and letting it push out in bottom tank.  put new lid on it make sure it is the right one with a double seal  and leave the bottom tank empty. top tank when heating up expands into bottom tank, if rad cap seals good and hose to bottom tank is good it will suck it back in after cutting it off.  Mack factory rep told us 20 years ago the we should leave the bottom tank empty that it not big enough for the expansion of the water when it heats up and expands into bottom tank.

No it doesn't pull back in the top tank .it just push it out the small hole in the bottom tank cap and that's it ..I replaced the cap on both tanks at the same time I did thramastat but I could have got a bad cap.

What's the freezing point of the water coming out of the air tank?

Mo sure  but it's more then I have normally seen .

Getting water in air tank is this the compressor head gasket going out

Replace the stat cause it went bad now the truck push water out the little hole in the holding tank. What would cause this truck doesn't run hot just lighting volt come on bout 3 days add water bout 3 days later light on depending on how hard the truck is worked.

Quad axle dump truck 

Which do you guys think is better red dot back wall mount or replacement stock system..gotta get this thing going 

2000 rd688 driver side air bag has a pin hole in it so I need to replace it..I took the air line off got the bottom out but cant get the top to come out does it bolt in or something..my freightliner bag looks the same and just pop in a hole 

Thanks for any help 

Where do l start 

I haven't checked the fuse cause the lights use to just flicker if you turn the dimmer or they would stay bright but now no cruise as well

Any help is appreciated

Ok guys update truck has been fixed

Turns out the pin in the spring pak on driver side was broken and the u joints on the top of gear box and inside can was worn out no splines left inside them 

Replace and truck is back working like a dog lol

Thanks guys 

Yes turning on the shaft about half inch 

I didn't  know that the yoke that goes on the shaft had splines so maybe the splines are worn 

I going to try and remove the yoke from the top of the shaft and see what things look like 

But I know if I have the truck up on the jack with no pressure on the steering it turns free no binding or locking 

Mack dealer said could come from pot holes on the job binding the u joint set up beyond its travel and wild driver trying to fly on job site which I know they do I've gotten on them before for the same reason 

I'll try to get a picture of the problem thanks 

No it hasn't been off I'm thinking that the rough job has beat it up and caused it to slip more then it should move on the gear box shaft..cause driving it some times it doesn't even get to that point where it has that little bite of lock 

I'm thinking that my u joint at the box is bad because I have a spot now that locks them let's go and makes a loud pop.if I look at the box and joint with someone moving the wheel back and 4the joint slips around the top of the shaft about a half inch ..anybody have this problem before. Been on a rough haul dump truck in sand pot holes wild driver with lead foot.im hoping it's not the box 

Oh 2000 rd690 E7 auto

Thanks for the help
