Elite Veteran Location: Oceanside, CA | I don't want to further hijack Stephen's Duramax thread with the radiator and fuel cap details. Here's what Lou posted: Gates #31640 is a VENTED gas fill cap with finger tabs that fits my #120. "Stant #10292 (7 Lb.), and Balkamp #703-1428 (10 Lb.) is a RECOVERY type radiator cap that fits the stock radiator on my #120. Stant #10282 is a NON-recovery ope n type radiator cap of same size. You may also see: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/FMCMotorCoach/conversations/topi... for more Part #s.

Elite Veteran Location: Oceanside, CA | Making broad statements like "All the FMC Radiators use the "B-Size" cap" always bites me in the azz.. If your radiator has had any major service in it's past (recore, reconditioning, etc..) you need to double check this.. I found (after my new cap arrived) that a few years back when my radiator was re-cored to 6 row they also put a new filler neck on the tank...and a standard size filler fitting.. | ||

Extreme Veteran Location: Scottsdale, Aridzona | Just think how cornfused the "next" Owner of FMC #1027 will be when he tries to install the Autolite 23 spark plugs in his shiny new ANTIQUE ! Note that I said, " . . . fits my #120". It is possible that there is not a single FMC remaining that is "stock". Biggest issue is just exactly what, how, and WHY the PO(s) changed . . . and can I get another one. My Bride often comments, "Can't you leave anything stock ?" "standard size" ??? What does that mean ??? The B size is "standard" on a TRUCK Radiator. No, a pick-up is not a TRUCK. A dump truck, a cement truck, a dual rear axle truck (not duallys on a pick-up !), a MACK, a Peterbuilt, a Kenworth, a Navistar, . . . is a TRUCK. "re-cored to 6 row" ? Didn't think the "stock" FMC radiator tanks could take two more rows. Knew RVS/Jim Black sold 6 core radiators for the FMC, but I never knew if it was some new radiator, or he sent "yours" out for recore to 6 row. Hmmm . . . who knew that it takes a 6 row 29 X 30 radiator to cool 225 Horse Power. Parts Search ON ! Lou #120 Edited by hemi354az 2016-04-29 1:00 PM | ||

Elite Veteran Location: Oceanside, CA | Hmmm . . . who knew that it takes a 6 row 29 X 30 radiator to cool 225 Horse Power- with a tiny 17" fan!! LOL!! I don't know WTH they were thinking with that fan on a 6 row radiator...no way it push enough air through it to make any kind of cooling difference! Digging through some of the stacks of invoices I found both where RVS installed the new 6 row radiator and shortly after where a new Modine core was installed...I'm assuming something came loose and damaged the original 6 row core... in the notes it said "fill neck replaced" but nothing about a size change.. I guess it's possible that the new 6 core radiators that RVS installed came with smaller caps? | ||
