0 Mack Technician Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I had a Mack 6X6 DMM that overheated like that despite replacing all the usual suspects. I took the radiator to the repair shop to have it checked for congestion. They popped the tanks and attempted to rod out the core. The core had a soild center in the exact shape of the fan. It was a circle of scale occupying a round portion of the core. New core and problem fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
