Overheating Cummins 400, Hydraulic Cooling Fan

Recommended Posts

My Spartan Chassis, Gulf Stream 1998 is currently deadlined in Las Vegas due to an overheating issue. The cooling fan will not turn causing the Cummins engine to shut off to avoid damage to the engine.

Who in the Las Vegas area can repair the hydraulic system or repair the non operational fan motor?

The Cummins Rocky Mountain shop declined, since they only specialize in their engine. Will not do OEM work chassis VC024860.

Any sources or thoughts appreciated Monday 8 AM 13 July 2015,

Sincerely Russ, stranded in Las Vegas.

Russ,

Welcome to the FMCA Forum.

The chassis maker (Spartan in your case) speced and installed the cooling system.

I would call them and ask for their recommendation for a shop in your area.

Assume you have checked fluid level and that the hydraulic fluid filters are not clogged/overly old.

Assume if belt driven hydraulic pump is on and properly tensioned.

That is three easy/inexpensive items to check.

Are you still in Las Vegas, I just bought a 98 Gulfstream and need to repair the same problem.

Would like to know if yours ran hot on the hills before you had the Hyd. problems???
