I just put an aftermarket radiator in a D-14. The shroud had
a diamond opening, and the fan blades hit. The original had a round opening, so
I just cut it out like the original. The fan blades now clear a good 1/8 to 1/4
inch everywhere.
However, about every minute when running you hear a noise like something rattling. It is literally for a second then not for a minute or so, but its consistent in that it repeats every so often. I don’t see any signs on the fan blades or radiator that its hitting, but the sound like something isn’t clearing with the rattle worries me. Are there any ideas what the rattle could be? I have thought something is loose, but I have checked all the bolts and don’t see anything. I did notice the overflow tube seems to be very close to the opening for neck of the radiator. I am thinking to put a piece of rubber there to eliminate that as a possible source of the rattle tomorrow. Edited by Rogers - 06 Oct 2019 at 7:02pm |

Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity.

I put a new water pump, alternator, thermostat and hoses on while I had the front cowls off for the radiator replacement. The rattle just worries me because it don't know what it is.
When the radiator on my D-15 went bad. I had it re-cored. However, the local radiator shop went out of business several years ago. All the new radiators in trucks are aluminum with plastic tanks, so you don't need a repair man. You have to replace instead of fix. That means dealing with modifying new parts.
