Understanding what your coolant system is and how it works is the first step in being able to recognize when it may need maintenance or repair. One of the primary functions of coolant is to regulate heat within the cylinder head and engine block. The coolant system is designed to circulate a cooling medium which absorbs heat from the engine and dissipates it through a heat exchanger (i.e., a radiator or cooler). Coolant picks up heat and transfers it to the radiator. Coolant is also used to protect against freezing and boiling, corrosion and pitting of cylinder liners and the engine block.
If a problem occurs in the process of dissipating the engine heat, then this is where you would begin to see equipment failure and engine issues, including engine failure.
What can you do to help maintain your coolant system?
At Schroeder Truck Repair, we advise customers on industry best practices to maintain their coolant systems and prolong the life of their heavy-duty vehicles. Some of these practices can include:
- Ensuring the cooling system is filled with coolant and the freeze protection level is adequate
- Using the same coolant already in the engine for top-ups
- Checking radiator fluid levels and concentration
- Properly cleaning and flush the system when coolant is changed
- Checking the integrity of the radiator cap and looking for leaks

Schroeder truck repair I would highly recommend! They do a fabulous job! The quality of work from them is top tier! Quality and quick turnaround is great as well!
Great experience at a bad moment. They took our truck in their shop right after arrival, diagnosed bad batteries and lose wire on the alternator that was causing battery overcharge.They already had the right batteries, replaced them and it took them 1h45min together with diagnostics and replacement. The charge was fair as well. I wish every shop was like them. Right on point, great feedback and organized.We didnt even had to cancel our reload. We loaded on time and kept trucking. Two thumbs up!
A buddy of mine recommended this shop. What I appreciate about this shop is that they actually take reservations for work. Many shops have gone to a first come first serve, which in my business does not work. My truck has to be on the road and working. They were able to schedule me, get me in evaluate the issues get parts and get my truck out in a single day. Great service, friendly staff and quality work. I will return to the shop for any other issues my truck has.
Had to get some welding and fab work done on my car hualer trailer and Dakota there did top notch job and got it done in a timely manner looks & works like new
Experienced and well-equipped shop that takes great care of your rig. I came in with a few issues—they took me in right off the street and had everything fixed within a couple of hours, saving me valuable time. Big plus: they really know how to maintain your Carhauler!
Everything went well. Everything was done in a timely manner. Excellent customer service. Melissa kept me updated with everything that was going on.
