So I got out and did my1st cleaning of the radiator/CAC. I soaked it as much as I could with about a gallon of simple green, waited only 5-10 mins and started the rinse. I remembered that I just last year bought a wand to use in my hot water heater to help de scale inside. This wand has a 90degree bend at the end and the overall length is about 15-18". This worked perfect, with that angle I could shoot at just about any part of the radiator, I couldn't see it all but I'm pretty sure I got to most of it. This wand is thin enough that it fit between the fan blades and I the shroud, I just watched all the black gunk peel off with the water pressure, I plan to do another cleaning but we are heading out Thursday morning for a weekend trip so I think this treatment is good for now. Just wanted to share my wand idea, hopefully it helps someone get theirs a little cleaner. Thanks to all for the info!

WOW! That is all I can say right now. I was sent a link to this topic about over heating and I read through all the comments. I then went out to my coach and crawled into the engine compartment to look into the fan to see how my radiator/CAC compared to some of the stories since this is the first I have heard of the issue. Did I mention WOW! What little bit I could see was absolutely filthy, I'm almost embarrassed to admit how bad it looks. I guess I'm heading out in the morning to get a couple of gallons of simple green and start cleaning. I hope this takes career my issues. Thanks for the link, Brett.

Hello, I'm new to the forum! I have recently started getting the over temp warning come on when going up inclines, I pull a 28' enclosed trailer. It's a 2005 Cross Country with the ISB. I have not changed any fuel filters, where would all 3 be located? Thanks in advance! Tony
