Hello all,
I am embarking to change the coolant and thermostat on my Cummins Onan MDKBM generator. I have procured the parts (pressure cap, thermostat) and supplies (coolant and Cummins Fleetguard Restore coolant system cleaner).
Any tips or tricks to flushing the cooling system and replacing the coolant? Do I simply drain the existing coolant, refill with restore in the coolant resevoir, start engine, refill to get to the right level, let sit for a few hours, drain, replace with coolant and new pressure cap?
Any tips or tricks for replacing the thermostat?
Any tips or tricks for checking the v-belt tension? Do most carry a spare belt?
I may also do the impeller soon so open to tips and tricks for that too (it hasn't been a year yet and not close to 500 hours).
Thank you!
