How hot should a DT466 run?
How hot should a DT466 run?
The engine should run all day at about 190 deg. If the engine temp rises then the cooling fan should come on around 210 deg. If the gauge goes to 210 deg and then does not cool down then most likely you have poor cooling in the radiator and the fan hub is not engaging the fan due to lack of heat.
Why is my DT466 overheating in hot wash?
Hot wash for extended period loosens up and removes the crap and having the engine running, you can watch the temp drop. Another issue I’ve heard of is the 466’s with air conditioning have to have the condenser removed to be cleaned properly because the fins are oriented opposite from one another making it almost impossible to blow or wash out.
What should the temp be on an Intl 4300?
(I usually pull over at 225, but jeez it’s getting old.) We probably have to set aside about 2 hours a month to fire up the compressor and blow out the radiator. Crazy amounts of sawdust usually come out, even with the screen. Anyway, when the fan does engage I can actually watch the temp gauge drop about 30 degrees in 90 seconds.
Why is the radiator on my truck overheating?
I replaced the radiator on my ’07 4300 DT466 bucket at 14,000 miles. It was the same exact problem. Plugged fins that, once wet and dried, turned cement hard. Maybe a reversing fan would help by blowing some of the debris out while the truck is working and stationary.
Why does my 466 air conditioner keep overheating?
Another issue I’ve heard of is the 466’s with air conditioning have to have the condenser removed to be cleaned properly because the fins are oriented opposite from one another making it almost impossible to blow or wash out. Click to expand… This makes me think about my bucket too.
Is the DT466 over heating still a problem?
We have a 2001 International 4700 with the Dt466. The cooling sytem has been gone through but it is still having overheating problems. Does anybody know of any fixes or a better radiator design than this 1/2 of a radiator crap.

Is the DT 466 engine viscous or air operated?
I run DT 466 right up 1050-1100 EGT and never had too much of a problem but its also intercooled so that makes big difference Thought of one more thing, does it have a viscous fan drive on it or air operated. If it’s viscous run the engine and get it hot, pop the hood and check and see if the fan is locked up or turns freely.
