Discover all there is to know about spot truck coolant systems. From coolant flushes and radiator repairs to water pump inspections and thermostat replacements. Learn to recognize the signs of coolant system failure and the importance of maintenance intervals.
What Does a Coolant System Do?
Your spot truck’s coolant system is responsible for playing a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine temperature. The system’s water pump circulates coolant around the engine, which acts as a heat exchanger as the coolant, in conjunction with the fan clutch and cooling fan, is brought to the radiator at the front of the vehicle and cooled before returning to the engine to repeat the cycle.
Types of Spot Truck Coolant System Maintenance
Because of the variety of coolant system components, there is no one size fits all solution. Some common maintenance services include:
Coolant Flush and Replacement
Prolonged use can lead to the coolant becoming contaminated and losing its effectiveness. A complete coolant flush replaces this with fresh, high-quality coolant.
Radiator Inspection and Repair
A leaky, damaged, or plugged radiator can cause your engine to overheat, so during an inspection, these are searched for, identified, and repaired.
Water Pump Inspection and Replacement
The water pump is responsible for circulating coolant throughout the engine. Repairing damages or leaks, or even replacing them if necessary, ensures proper coolant flow and prevents overheating.
Pressure Testing
Pressure tests on the spot truck's coolant system identify any leaks or weaknesses, helping to detect potential issues before they escalate.
It is generally recommended to have the coolant system inspected and serviced every 30,000 to 50,000 miles. Our skilled mechanics at Webb Brothers Services, 3728 Highway 80, Twin City, GA, 30471, are able to carry this out promptly and effectively, keeping your coolant systems in top condition.
Signs of Spot Truck Coolant System Failure
Spot truck coolant system failure have fairly clear warning signs; be on the lookout for:
- If your spot truck's temperature gauge consistently shows higher than normal readings (overheating)
- Noticeable coolant leaks under your vehicle or around the engine compartment
- Low coolant levels are indicated by frequently needing to top up the coolant
- Reduced engine performance
(Rough idling, reduced power, engine misfires) - A sweet smell or steam coming from the engine
