I've got a quick question that I was hoping the forum could help me out with. We have an IH1086 with the DT414. The tractor runs warmer than I believe it should. Even with light duty jobs the temp guage runs midway in the green (still not technically overheating but much warmer than I expect). I plan to check/replace the thermostat in the near future but I also wondered if it could be caused by cavitation(or the damage from cavitation). Could anyone tell me the details of the cavitation problem with the 400 series diesels? What exactly was the failure mode (what is damaged)? Could this be causing the problem? If so, can this be remedied with an overhaul or is the motor ruined? I remembered hearing about this issue some time ago. Specifically, I remembered hearing that it was prevalent in motors that haven't had the coolant conditioner/filter changed regularly. I know this tractor hasn't so that got me thinking that cavitation could be the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Chad
