dickandlois Report post Posted September 8, 2015 expdek570, Welcome to the FMCA Forum!From your information, it sounds like there might have been some air in the system and it was replaced by the coolant in the overflow tank.When you filled the system to near the top, you might experience an over flow the next time you get the engine hot.I always fill my reservoir to just a little above the cold line and when the engine is hot the tank level is between 1/2 and 3/4 full.Keep an eye on the level for the next trip or two thought, just to make sure things are working properly.Rich.

huffypuff Report post Posted September 8, 2015 I have my coach coolant between the marks and have no problem. Once I filled to top line when warm and that went out the overflow next steep grade it climbed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
manholt Report post Posted September 9, 2015 Thanks, Brett. I'll call Spartan today. I'm almost getting used to the Beep and yellow ck engine! I do notice that when it's on, my ability to climb is 5-10 mph less, than when it's off. Wayne, thanks for info. I'll go engine diving later...if weather permits. Currently, I'm getting some hail. Just what I needed! My coolant level, cold, is just above the see thru bubble. Hot??? My tank is metal. Have not lost any since Colorado, now in Memphis, until tomorrow. BBQ!

manholt Report post Posted September 9, 2015 Wayne. I found the little Gremlin! No lose or improperly connected wires, there are 3 going in to back of sensor, One is ground and one each to alarm and engine light. I traced ground wire and unscrewed it, cleaned and replaced. Turned on engine and got Beep. Unplugged unit and no more Beep! LOL. Called Spartan, in MI. The coolant is Fleetguard, same that Cummins recommends. Cummins Coach Care, is who Spartan recommends, unless I want to come to Spartan! No! CCC headquarters is in S. Atlanta...I'll be there Thursday! My way of "Sharing my Wealth", before the IRS!

You have not changed your picture yet. Do you miss the Allegiance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
five Report post Posted September 12, 2015 I had an ISL in the Allegiance, in addition to the OEM coolant, there were two other acceptable extended life coolants: - Peak "Final Charge Global Extended Life." - Zerex "Extreme Extended Life." Still working on the pic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
