- 11010783The 7.3L radiator uses adapter nuts, if not properly sealed, exposes the opportunity for fluid migration through threads. Primary failure seen is deterioration of the EPDM gasket sealing the transmission oil cooler (TOC) to lower radiator tank, which allows a path for coolant to leak externally. Secondary failure seen is cross contamination between coolant and transmission oil. To eliminate the possibility of experiencing this condition, Blue Bird is providing 1 year of coverage to update the transmission oil cooler interface along with a visual inspection of any cross contamination at time of completing the interface update. Please follow the flowchart within the instructions to determine if any additional repair activity is necessary and, if so, complete further repair procedures as stated.
- 10244319Revised: Coolant leaks at the transmission cooler fittings on the radiator are occurring due to deformation of the gasket used to seal off the transmission cooler. This deformation is caused from transmission oil wicking through the thread adapter threads and exposing the lower portion of the gasket to transmission oil. Re-configure hydraulic interface between the transmission cooler lines and the transmission oil cooler. SU2302 Revised to include Labor Time of 1 Hour and a Component Code.
