Coolant Reservoir

[ggallin13]

Where do I get a coolant reservoir? Mine is shot. I tried the duct tape repari, to no avail. LMC Truck doesn't have them--at least I couldn't find one in the catalog.

I want to avoid paying $700 for one at the dealership (or whatever they charge).

I have seen a few rigs with home-made coolant reservoirs. They were made out of coffee cans and plastic bottles. Dont really know how good this works, but they were sure runnin 'em.

They are cheap at the dealer.......I guess you could also go to a wrecker and pull one out of a wreck. I'd imagine they're a dime a dozen at the boneyards.

There is one more thing you could try to keep the good feeling of fixin what you got. Mine had a tiny sprinkle at the joining. I used super-glue on the thin line running upp where the hose attatches. (Where the resorvar-botle's two halfes are joined)
To get it clean and shiny again on the inside I stuffed a rag in there and shook it with soapwater. Came out great.
