NOTICE:
Engine damage from running your engine without coolant isn’t
covered by your warranty.
If
there seems to be
no
leak, start the engine again. See
if
the fan speed
increases
when
idle speed is doubled by pushing the accelerator pedal down.
If it doesn’t, your vehicle needs service. Turn
off
the engine.
How
to
Add
Coolant to the Coolant Surge Tank
NOTICE:
The diesel engine has a specific coolant fill procedure. Failure to
follow this procedure could cause your engine to overheat and be
severely damaged.
If
you haven’t found a problem yet, but the coolant level isn’t at the
COLD
mark, add a
50/50
mixture of
clean water
(preferably distilled) and a proper
antifreeze at the coolant surge tank, but be sure the cooling system,
including the coolant surge tank pressure cap, is cool before you do it. (See
“Engine Coolant” in the Index for more information about the proper
coolant mix.)
