Over heating problem
2008 Tour Master by Gulf Stream on a 2007 chassis with a Mercedes MBE926 engine.
The EGR cooler failed last year on our way to Florida and we had it replaced at a Freightliner dealer in Pennsylvania. They also changed the coolant and the oil with new filters.
I am having an overheating problem when going up an uphill grade.
I had it looked at in Florida and the mechanic found that the coolant is not flowing through the radiator the way is should and he showed me that the left side of the radiator and other areas are staying cold. He did this with a no contact temp sensor. I was told that the radiator got clogged when the EGR cooler failed as it dumped debris in the coolant. I was told that I need a new radiator or to have the existing radiator removed to have it cored, cleaned and rebuilt.
Should Freightliner have known about this problem and advised me that the system needed to cleaned
Any one have a similar problem.
Thank you in advance,
