Inspect the following parts at each oil change:
Air lines
Hoses
Gasket joints
Pressurized air can cause personal injury. When pressurized air is used for cleaning, wear a protective face shield, protective clothing, and protective shoes.
Ensure that the constant torque hose clamps are tightened to the correct torque. Refer to Specifications, SENR3130, "Torque Specifications" in order to locate the proper torque. Check the welded joints for cracks. Ensure that the brackets are tightened in the correct positions. Ensure that the brackets are in good condition. Use compressed air to clean any debris or any dust from the aftercooler core assembly. Inspect the fins in the aftercooler core for the following conditions:
Damage
Debris
CorrosionUse a stainless steel brush to remove any corrosion.Note: When parts of the air-to-air aftercooler system are repaired or replaced, a leak test is recommended.Inlet Manifold Pressure
Normal inlet manifold pressure with high exhaust temperature can be caused by blockage of the fins of the aftercooler core. Clean the fins of the aftercooler core. Refer to "Visual Inspection" under this topic for the cleaning procedure.Low inlet manifold pressure and high exhaust manifold temperature can be caused by any of the following conditions:Plugged air cleaner - Clean the air cleaner or replace the air cleaner, as required. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Air Cleaner Element - Clean/Replace".Blockage in the air lines - Blockage in the air lines between the air cleaner and the turbocharger must be removed.Aftercooler core leakage - Aftercooler core leakage should be pressure tested. Refer to "Aftercooler Core Leakage" under this topic for the testing procedure.Inlet manifold leak - An inlet manifold leak can be caused by the following conditions: loose fittings and plugs, missing fittings and plugs, damaged fittings and plugs and leaking inlet manifold gasket.Aftercooler Core Leakage

(9) Chain A low power problem in the engine can be the result of aftercooler leakage. Aftercooler system leakage can result in the following problems:
Low power
Low boost pressure
Black smoke
High exhaust temperature
Remove all air leaks from the system to prevent engine damage. In some operating conditions, the engine can pull a manifold vacuum for short periods of time. A leak in the aftercooler or air lines can let dirt and other foreign material into the engine and cause rapid wear and/or damage to engine parts.
A large leak of the aftercooler core can often be found by making a visual inspection. To check for smaller leaks, use the following procedure:
Disconnect the air pipes from the inlet and outlet side of the aftercooler core.
Dust plug chains must be installed to the aftercooler core or to the radiator brackets to prevent possible injury while you are testing. Do not stand in front of the dust plugs while you are testing.
Install couplers (5) on each side of the aftercooler core. Also, install dust
