Gen rad blower
A week ago I replaced the blow fan in gen bay, Today pulled rad and serviced the big fan blower for rad it’s on opposite side of gen very dirty two screws loose that hold it down to bay few drops of oil in place they tell you to put it in ,has little yellow pug that says oil glad I did it ,clean motor and vacuum out bay and motor re caulked around squirrel cage all back in , if that fan goes out the gen will over heat , easy job 6 screws to take out that hold rad in place , swivel rad sideways leave all hoses on service the motor put back in . Then I drained antifreeze out put new hoses in all good now……Before I put it back together.

Peter,
did you take any pictures?
I’m trying to figure out how to access the radiator on our bus. I know it is in the floor behind the generator compartment but no obvious way to get to it. Tomorrow I’ll remove some bay panels on the other side of the bus and see if I can see the darn thing.

Peter,
thanks for taking the picture. I like your radiator setup. Right there, easy to check.
On our Marathon, the radiator is in a compartment behind the generator in the center of the bus. I finally “found it” by taking out an access panel in the first passenger bay. Everthing was clean, so I buttoned it back up.
