I'd agree, it's been a very reliable engine. I've since found that the small air bleed hose to the top tank was blocked, so i'm hoping that's all the problem was. Thanks very much for the help.

Hi, i apologise for bumping this but i have a similar problem. could someone please tell me if the 1999 EA7-435 has the oil cooler screen you're refering to ? I ask because there is a "T" type affair where the "Y" pipe should be. This "T" consists of the pipe from the lower radiator to the oil cooler, and half way along this pipe is where the top expansion tank hose plumbs in to make the "T". It has a spin on water filter beside the thermostat housing but it does not have the external EGR.

Hello, hopefully this is an easy question for someone. A couple of years back i replaced my liners because the DOT inspector told me they were almost on the rivets. Today they look fine to me but i also thought they looked fine back when he said replace them. Obviously you can't see the rivets and i'm unsure of how long the rivets are, so is there a measurement i can use to know when to replace them again? I'm unsure on the brand of shoes but i'd guess Bendix. The truck is a 1999 CH Fleetliner. Thanks, Lee.
