Title: MaxxForce 11 and 13 Coolant Fill Procedure (Pre- 2010 emissions)
Applies To: MaxxForce 11 and 13 engines (pre- 2010 emissions) in ProStar and TranStar Trucks
DESCRIPTION
ProStar and TranStar with MaxxForce 11 or 13 Coolant Fill Procedure (pre 2010 Emissions)
NOTES
When equipped with the pre 2010 emissions MaxxForce 11 or 13 engine, the International
ProStar and TranStar series trucks are
equipped with an additional expansion tank as part of the cooling system. This tank supplies all the expansion volume required by the
system which has enabled the level of coolant in the deaeration tank mounted on the radiator system to be raised. Along with this
additional tank comes a revised service fill procedure.
The recommended fill level has been moved to the top of the deaeration tank.
When using a vacuum fill tool, care must be taken to assure that the expansion tank is not filled with coolant. This can be done by
clamping the hose between the two tanks off or by detaching the hose from the deaeration tank and sealing the port.
WARNING:
To prevent unexpected movement of the vehicle and possible serious personal injury or death, park the vehicle on a flat,
level surface, set the parking brake, turn the engine off and chock the wheels to prevent vehicle from moving in both
directions.
WARNING:
To prevent personal injury or death, do not let engine fluids stay on your skin. Clean skin and nails using hand cleaner and
wash with soap and water. Wash or discard clothing and rags contaminated with engine fluids. .
NOTE:
Engine fluids (oil, fuel and coolant) are a threat to the environment. Recycle or dispose of engine fluids according to local
regulations. Never put engine fluids in the trash, on the ground, in sewers, or bodies of water.

7. Watch HTR and LTR air bleeds for evidence of coolant. once coolant is evident form both vents close the HTR and LTR vents. Figure 7
Figure 7 - Close the LTR and HTR vents when coolant is evident.
8 . Top the coolant off in the dearation tank.
9. Start the engine and allow to idle for 5 minutes.
10 . While idling, open the LTR vent and bleed air out .
NOTE: Maintain the coolant level in the dearation tank while bleeding.
11. Close the LTR when steady stream of coolant is evident.
12. After 5 minutes of idling, adjust the coolant level in the dearation tank and install and tighten the NON VENTED dearation tank cap. Figure 8

13. Start and run the engine at high idle until the engine temperature reaches 190 deg and the engine fan has cycled on and off once. ( this may require moving
the vehicle outdoors and / or blocking the radiator with cardboard).
14. Monitor the engine coolant level in the dearation tank.
15. Allow the engine to cool and carefully remove the dearation tank cap .
16. Adjust
the coolant level to the top of the dearation tank.
