Put it on in April.  Seem at the time to not disengage I thought.  Then this fall my help made the comment thats not ever shutting down.  With engine off I can turn the fan but will also slip the serpentine belt some while doing so.     I’ll say it is nothing like the one on the granite we have.   

with that info  ;i would unfortunately go with faulty fan clutch. cold/ cool engine ; fan clutch should NOT  have hold power to turn belt

It's a challenge JoJo not being there as with many questions.  "forever to warm up " ==all day/ first few ??   trying to get better (stay on topic ) . wifes '15 subaru 70 degrees out start car high idle 7-9 minutes .  shut it off , wait 20 minutes go to start back high idle.

when you say "I put a new one on": what time frame are you talking :: week/ day/ yr?   engine SHUT OFF and key removed from ignition. can you reach in and turn fan by hand?  did the small bi-metal plate fall off front of fan :  doubt it did. radiator heat bends the bi metal plate which pushes the pin to let more fluid in fan core thus engaging it  which is opposite your situation.  when the fan doesn't engage most causes are dirt build up under bi metal plate.  back to square 1. if you can not turn fan manually :: WITH ENGINE OFF  fan clutch NG.

have seen/ heard engines try to run when a cyl is in exhaust mode from eng brake shorting out. this is before the computers ran the engine.

6 volt ??? ; don't remember seeing. pos ground i'd say yes

I put my coffee and doughnut on the jake solenoid . ??

Ha ha OK thanks for that. I hear that a lot an old pirate ship movies.Bob

I sure hope Your not going "off topic"!!!😁; I'm calling my union steward :: I have seniority😊in that area of going off topic. LOL

a shutterstat will work providing it opens at right temp for fan to kick on . before the computers took over ,a simple easy to install fan control was just an on/off switch in cab going to an electric over air solenoid having #4 air (1/4 plastic) line to fan hub. today's world much more technical. can't just take any power source . air valve in cab totally eliminates the computer ; bit more work to mount an air switch neatly in cab and run line to fan. not knowing for sure if the fan changing from on to off will kick signal to computer of engine problem ??

Mechaholic: If I remember right all of the Tilcon DMM's were tri axle. They had these after the DM 800's. See ex Tilcon Macks from time to time

 

that's why this DMM seems unusual. would feel better going there when someone is working on the house being built; then i would hopefully get permission  to scope the DM out a lot better. didn't seem to have been a triaxle. possibly a mixer at one time having a body change

Where’s mech at!? He’s the one that’s supposed to take topics in completely other directions….

NOW WAIT A DARN PICKIN MINUTE HERE ; this forum is like being married : I'M BEING ACCUSED  of something I had NO part of ::: this time.. LOL🤣😇😇😇

sure could use a welder set up for plastic now.  i see why the front plastic bumpers are left on the sides of the road.  after sanding/cleaning  the epoxy  I put on bumper last night doesn't stay. removed it ; waiting now for a different glue to hopefully hold.  last resort i'm going to use the model glue. LOL  her car not mine. final step a couple of 2x4's bolted to front. red neck style.

auto darkening helmets are the "best thing since slice bread" . always Leary of them but have found more positive since owning one.  the flip with 2x4 Lens ( didn't like the big lens helmet after 6-8 hrs steady had head aches) i had a tendency to move parts or weld handle too much  when motion of flipping helmet. also auto was great in tight spaces. coke had those side bay delivery  trailers with no room under side to flip a helmet ; and they always had broken something under neath.

Buy some “Off” insect repellent with “Deet” . Spray on headlights and wipe off. Makes them like new. Our company won’t buy new headlight housings so we use Off. It must be Off with Deet  though. 

if that's what it does to plastic;; what are results when someone sprays it on their skin . 

issues like this is one of the main reasons i always  cleaned the drain oil pan before removing the pan plug. have had my b-lls  broke ;"why you washing out the drain pan"?  because it let me know any foreign matter in that pan came from the engine i'm working on.  have seen drain pans with so much crud from other stuff.  

WHERE IN CT ????? nice R model.

I had a picture of a steel-nosed DM-600 somewhere, but I can't find it now.

don't feel bad; I can't post the things I had that I can't find anymore.😳

sure hope at the DMV  you didn't shift with your arm between the steering wheel!! around here (CT) take two hands off the steering wheel ;;; YOU FAILED> LOL

imagine in todays world having twin stick and cell phone !!!! half youngsters could n't drive one; " I can't put my cellphone down " to shift two sticks.

do remember separate wipers .  no one knew back then to take pictures or to save everything . glad the new -fangle phones weren't there then == we would be in twice as much trouble in this country as we are now.. I would have rather seen more people with more cameras taking pictures.; just sayin . 

can't answer the paint color question ;  my question (known as off topic ) is on that old fontaine 5th  wheel how would you do a rebuild if the legs are welded  to the slide plate. . center  2 in cross shaft looks a tag worn also. not a major deal many were welded on one end. some one on here will have your answer for paint.

I thought I was only one questioning (in my head)  the departure of so many senior members; many of which are up in rank 13/14 of 14. sometime back i asked about the number of log ins that logged on /off same day never to reappear. thought it was a scam dating site or something .  alot seem to be around '16-'17. i've guessing this site came in to existence around '05  from some members profiles . I missed alot from passed topics i read.

We bought a 211 about 6? Yrs ago at work, just for me to do maintenance work, fab stuff.   It is a nice machine, they had rebates going and I got a new helmet and the alum spool gun for it.  I haven't used the spool gun yet.  I run .035 wire in it and have the largest tank on it.  Bit top heavy, but it is all we have here and I wasn't going to get short tanks just for this machine.

I'd love to get the 255 multi machine for home.  Its got everything, mig, tig(with HF start) two tanks, all the accys.  Just don't care for all the electronics in it and the mileage it would get at home would not cover the cost to fix it when something stupid fails.  The 211 at work gets regular use.

situation with a multi  machine is some have too much trying to be done with one unit.  yrs back I was given an airco ??? welder which was wire feed;( gas set up) and also a stick machine. looked a little dusty when i got it , with a little clean up and some blue miller paint  it looked and worked excellent. 

and this is still on topic ==LOL

Do you have a picture of that hump? I didn't know there was a difference in valve covers besides maybe an electrical terminal for the solenoid's. Maybe the 2 valve stamped steel covers had a hump but I can't say Ive seen a difference in the 4 valve cast aluminum covers. I know someone will know for sure. 

steel covers : old R  model etc era   ; not alum  new style .had solenoid  "hump" in valve covers . 3 humps per cover  = one for each solenoid. Dang::am I really that old; LOL.  i'm not that old - technology is changing toooo fast. sounds better.

your not alone.  think that's why the shutterstats are stamped ;; inlet: who pays  (paid) attention . 

front shutters almost always worked off engine temp' that was the purpose of the shutterstat mounted in coolant system. eng temp opened and closed the air to the front  shutters. took air to close the shutters. in the event a problem arose  there was a brass shut off valve mounted on fire wall  #4 aeroquipt line going to shutterstat which could be closed taking air away from front shutters keeping them open.
