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

I lease trailers to owner operators in the Southeast and one of my trailers happened to get stuck at Phil, Mike, and Brandon's garage Schroeder Truck Repair for several months. These guys are the absolute best, they are kind, understanding, professional, and their staff is the same. They communicated, took pictures and helped me when i know a lot of other places would not spend the time to be helpful. They are guys you can trust. I highly recommend them. My driver's who had work done there as well, also had a good experience. I would imagine they would and should have hundreds of 5 star reviews. Honest guys running a great business and doing it the right way. Thank you so much.
Our box truck driver side door wasn’t closing and Wes the mobile mechanic. Came to our rescue. He is very polite and friendly. He did an amazing job and did his best to get us back on the road asap! We appreciate the time and great effort he did on our damage door lock and not to mention in this horrible weather conditions. Definitely call here for their fast and great service.

I'm very satisfied with the work done on F250 brake system here. My brakes were a disaster, and since I was traveling through Denver with my slide-in camper in the bed, I had to take it to a semi shop. These guys did a timely and thorough repair job, and were kind to work on my truck even though it's not a "big truck". The price was good and I will 100% be back should the occasion arise. On top of being skilled & professional, they were also friendly and easy to work with.
Did great work replacing the glow plugs, harnesses, rellay on my skoolie. They don’t always work on international but I knew what I wanted done and they were happy to oblige. Everyone there was welcoming and friendly. And a solid rate for Denver. Would definitely return
I've been using Schroeder's since 2010.My 2016 peterbilt had 95% of all repairs done here. I bought the truck new in 2015 it has 735,000 on it. They do all the work on my 2023 peterbilt also. They also do all my trailer repairs as my trucks are car haulers.Top notch service, excellent staff and good people that stand behind their work. They have gone above and beyond for me numerous times and I know they would for you too. Thanks for all you do! Great job for a really long time.
