Walker airsep drain

November 26, 2020 at 11:25 am Hi, hope all are well on this site, i have a 2005 5.9qsb 380ho.It has the stock Walker air sep, at the bottom of the sep there is a drain hose (blue) that runs to the bottom of the block on the right side of the motor. This hose runs into a one way valve that screws into a ypipe that goes into the block. The y pipe is rusted and broken off. I have tried everywhere to find this pipe and have exhausted everywhere. Has anyone else run into this, is…

Flushing engine

August 31, 2020 at 10:34 am 6 CTA Cummings – I flushed my engine a few weeks ago with barnacle buster. Last weekend I wanted to take a peak inside the heat exchanger and replace the end cap gaskets. It was pretty clean but my assumption was that the heat exchanger always has water in it. Since it doesn’t, what’s the best way (without removing the heat exchanger) to flush it if barnacle buster isn’t actually staying inside the heat exchanger?
1 ReplyAugust 31, 2020 at 12:26 pm Disconnect hose off your raw water pump, and also your hose exiting the heat exchanger. Rig a temporary hose and circulating pump between those two lines with a bucket of barnacle buster or ryde lyme or whatever plumbed into the loop, and circulate the goodies in the system for several hours.
