FAQ
Why upgrade the factory coolant reservoir on a Cummins?
The factory plastic coolant tank on 3rd-gen Cummins trucks is known to become brittle and crack over time due to heat cycles and pressure. The Wehrli aluminum tank eliminates this common failure point while providing better durability and long-term reliability.
Does this tank install in the factory location?
Yes. The WCF100542 is designed for OEM placement, meaning it mounts in the same location as the factory coolant reservoir and integrates with the stock cooling system routing.
Will this work on a 2003 or early 2004 Cummins?
No. This kit is designed specifically for the 2004.5-2007 5.9L Cummins platform and may not fit earlier cooling system configurations.
Is fabrication required for installation?
No fabrication is required. The kit is designed as a direct bolt-on installation using the included brackets and hardware.
Does this improve cooling performance?
The primary benefit is durability and reliability. However, the aluminum construction and improved tank design help maintain consistent coolant system operation during heavy towing and performance use.
