Heavy Duty Radiator Service

You expect a lot from your truck. And you rely heavily on its running smoothly and efficiently, all of the time. Nothing lasts forever, but you can extend the life of your truck through regular maintenance. It is common knowledge that by performing preventive maintenance, the cost-per-mile to operate a truck can be reduced. Visual inspections, performed often and in a thorough manner, can prevent costly break-down out on the highway. When small problems are detected, especially with the cooling system, they should be checked by a professional and rectified.

Remember, small problems left unattended can cause huge headaches. Also, avoid overheating your engine.

Check the coolant level periodically. It should never get below minimum. If there's a coolant leak, no matter how small, have it fixed immediately. If the engine temperature starts reading hotter than usual, have your cooling system inspected.

Coolant analysis is also important. Heavy-duty antifreeze contains ethylene glycol and an additive package formulated for different types of engines. These additive packages not only fight rust, scale and corrosion, in diesel engines they protect wet cylinder sleeves from cavitation. Even when coolant levels are properly maintained, additive depletion, which occurs as the coolant ages, can cause serious damage. Sometimes draining, flushing, and refilling the cooling system is required to get rid of dissolved solids.

Hoses should be inspected for signs of wear, bulges, cracking, and leaks. Hose clamps should be checked for tightness. The list goes on...
