firenut Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Hi all. I am getting ready to change the coolant filter/conditioner on my endt865 engine. The service manual references a 7psi radiator filter cap that I need to remove to allow me to change the filter. Can anyone tell me where that might be? Thanks in advance!!

Are you sure that doesn't read "filler" cap? After the engine is cool, and when you loosen the filter from it's mount there will be some coolant wanting to escape. Removing the radiator cap disallows any pressure in the system other than static. Either drain the radiator down by about a gallon into a bucket, or place a bucket under the filter mount to capture this spillage as you remove the filter. Lubricate your seal on the new filter with coolant and reattach to your mount. Start the engine and top the cooling system back off.

Thanks and I believe that is NOT the first misprint I've seen in the manuals over the years..... There is no filter cap I'm aware of and have three trucks with the V8 engines plus a fourth for parts.
