ENGINE COOLANT
The cooling package shall include Extended Life Coolant (ELC). The use of ELC provides longer intervals between
coolant changes over standard coolants providing improved performance. The coolant shall contain a 50/50 mix of
ethylene glycol and de-ionized water to keep the coolant from freezing to a temperature of -34 degrees F.
Proposals offering supplemental coolant additives (SCA) shall not be considered, as this is part of the extended life
coolant makeup.
ELECTRONIC COOLANT LEVEL INDICATOR
The instrument panel shall feature a low engine coolant indicator light which shall be located in the center of the
instrument panel. An audible tone alarm shall also be provided to warn of a low coolant incident.
ENGINE PUMP HEAT EXCHANGER
A single bundle type coolant to water heat exchanger shall be installed between the engine and the radiator. The heat
exchanger shall be designed to prohibit water from the pump from coming in contact with the engine coolant. This shall
allow the use of water from the discharge side of the pump to assist in cooling the engine.
COOLANT HOSES
The cooling systems hose shall be formed silicone hose and formed aluminized steel tubing and include stainless steel
constant torque band clamps.
ENGINE AIR INTAKE
The engine air intake system shall include an ember separator air intake filter which shall be located in the front of the cab
behind the officer side fascia. This filter shall protect the downstream air filter from embers using a combination of unique
flat and crimped metal screens constructed into a galvanized steel frame. This multilayered screen shall be designed to
trap embers or allow them to burn out before passing through the pack, while creating only minimal air flow restriction
through the system. Periodic cleaning or replacement of the screen shall be all that is required after installation.
The engine shall also include an air intake filter which shall be bolted to the frame and located under the front of the cab
on the officer side. The dry type filter shall ensure dust and debris safely contained inside the disposable housing,
eliminating the chance of contaminating the air intake system during air filter service via a leak-tight seal.
The air flow distribution and dust loading shall be uniform throughout the high-performance filter cone pack, which shall
result in pressure differential for improved horsepower and fuel economy. The air intake shall be mounted within easy
access via a hinged panel behind the headlight module. The air intake system shall include a restriction indicator light in
the warning light cluster on the instrument panel, which shall activate when the air cleaner element requires replacement.
