6v92 Detroit Diesel Water Pump Change because of weeping coolant

[@slappychap969]

You're a stud. It's awesome to learn to fix stuff yourself. I have been fixing my own vehicles for about 22 years. WORTH every scraped knuckle

[@HimmelbergerBus]

It’s my favorite vehicle to work on.

[@parttimebus1151]

Good job Shawn. A little fight now, but should be trouble free for a few years.

[@Commissar0617]

you got it easy. i've got a cabover fire engine with the 8v92, and reaching this is gonna be a major pain

[@HimmelbergerBus]

True

[@Commissar0617]

@@HimmelbergerBus turned out that the pump wasn't too bad, but the lower hoses and hose clamps were. i actually had a clamp loosen up on the main hose on the highway 50 miles from home... didn't overheat though. fixed it with extra clamps on the side of the highway. this video did help me locate the bolts and everything.

Loved the video! We vote for painting the engine silver.

[@1977pop]

Thanks you helped me out with my issue…

[@GRNewman]

Good job, that’s a pain job but you got it done.

[@davidreedy7597]

Paint it diver,not alpine green. Detroit colors. Love the videos.

[@jettpro6647]

Great job!, I’ve seen rebuild kits online, but this is the better way to go. I would paint it silver or blue. I’ve been told most coaches came with blue engines, when they were rebuilt they painted them red. Mine is red too. It’s probably been rebuilt a few times. 1.1 million miles from paperwork and hub meter reading

If it’s a Silver 92 Series.. silver is the color.. check out mine on my channel.. looks good in silver.. ifs it’s not a silver series then I would do alpine green. I think your lash might have been a bit loose.. the lash spec is .001” to .006”. To adjust the lash you have to use a prybar on the side of the water pump to pull it into the gear. The water pump has a pin it pivots on to adjust the lash. I am going to be doing a video soon on installing a water pump and I will show the lash adjustment procedure. Great videos.. I am enjoying your journey.

[@HimmelbergerBus]

Thanks, I look forward to it.

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Bigger toys bigger tools!!!! You will have to change those hoses in a couple years because they are not the silicone or green stripe Gates hose made for commercial applications. I removed the site glass on ours to clean it when I recored the radiators. They were a absolute mess but better than new now. Thanks.

[@HimmelbergerBus]

I put a pipe wrench on it, no real way to get leverage.

[@briandavis9975]

Good work Shawn looks like the hoses were you biggest struggle on that repair

[@paulswan1982]

Good job ! Can I ask a question? I have a set of rear 22.5x14 super single wheels and wana know if I can run them as rear drive wheels? Because there light and I will save 400lbs on my rig and fuel savings

[@HimmelbergerBus]

No idea, I’ve heard talk of it. Truckers can use them because they run 2x a side. If you lose one on your bus, you’re SOL.

[@paulswan1982]

@@HimmelbergerBus ic if one blows out won’t the tag axle support that side tell you get it fixed?

[@optimumwindowcleaning8713]

Do you know anything about the radiators in these busses? Why they have two? Where can I find new ones or used ones?

[@HimmelbergerBus]

Chris Newton [phone]. tell him I sent ya . He’s the one I got the water pump from.

[@houseofshootsllc]

What kinda coolant u use?

[@HimmelbergerBus]

Green universal stuff. I know some folks say otherwise, but it’s what we had before from PO. Been working fine this long

[@mikegurney5797]

Where did you purchase the water pump?

[@HimmelbergerBus]

Chris newton on the Facebook

[@russellgerow1203]

Hey what's up my friend! I have a 6 v92 like you and I'm depending on you for a lot of advice I'm just getting into this bus where do you get parts for yours? Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated

[@russellgerow1203]

I heard you say you talk to Scott the bus Grease Monkey and I had a hard time trying to get ahold of him I don't know his email and I just get like totally confused

[@HimmelbergerBus]

I think patreon might be the best way these days. I get my stuff from Chris Newton , I think I put his info in the description.

[@davidreedy7597]

I meant silver, lol

[@lbroome]

Paint it Alpine Green

[@Joeilliano]

White

[@HimmelbergerBus]

That’s a bold move

[@wazza33racer]

dont use green coolant in a 92......it has wet sleeves. You need the heavy duty truck coolant so it doesnt get electrolysis in the wet sleeves. Green coolant lacks the electrolysis inhibitor, unless you specially get an additive.

[@HimmelbergerBus]

Yeah I’ve been seeing that lately. When I bought the bus it had green, I didn’t think of it. Looking at the additive. Thanks!

[@wazza33racer]

@@HimmelbergerBus possibly cummins DCA additive could work...........no idea if its compatible. Heavy duty coolant for wet sleeves also sticks to the sleeve better for heat transfer, avoids the formation of cavitation or voids that inhibit heat getting transferred. That is a very good thing for any engine that has a lot of horsepower per cubic inch like GM 2 strokes or the later high hp current generation heavy truck engines.
