Coolant Surge Tank Cracks

<< < (2/2)

Gerald Farris:
George,
Since I see that your coach has a Cummins engine instead of a Cat, I would measure the tank to be sure that it is the same.

Two and a half years ago I paid $100 in Texas for the tank. Six months ago I paid $146 for the same tank in California, so I would say that your dealer is probably high on his prices.

You may check online for the part number and see if Ford has increased the price that much. I just ran a search and found them online from $120 to $130.

Gerald

George H. Wall:
Thanks, Gerald!! I'll check for those online.

Paul Schwalen:
George,

We have a ISL Cummins 370HP and I just purchased the surge tank from Beaver Coach Sales for $199 + shipping.  Our tank is of a more rectangular shape (about 15" H X 12" W X 10" D) and it turns out that BCSales says that Monaco will not release the manufacturer of the tank to sell directly so therefore the high price.  I have not installed the tank  yet (we are currently in CT and I want to wait to get home to change it out) however the new tank although the same dimensions as the old one is of a much heavier construction although it is still plastic.  Good luck.

Paul

George H. Wall:
Paul,    My tank is the same size as yours, as Gerald suggested. Mine has not yet cracked or leaked, but I was going to get a spare juest in case. Thanks for your info!!  GH Wall
