Truck coolant leak issues can be very complicated. It can become a very expensive problem if you ignore a truck coolant leak for too long. If left unchecked it can ultimately lead to engine failure. Once a coolant leak starts rarely does it get better. No matter what radiator you have, whether heavy duty, basic or semi, your cooling system needs to stay free of leaks in order to operate well. A small leak can cause temperature increase, create an air pocket and lead to overheating.
There Are Primarily Three Places You Can Have Engine Coolant Leaks:
External Engine Coolant Leaks
External leaks are the easiest to find, most of the time you will just visually see them.
The source may be:
Internal Engine Coolant Leaks
An internal leak be noticeable, when the coolant level does not stay constant. Also, you find that you need to constantly refill the tank or your engine overheats.
The source of internal leaks could be the fault of:
Rad Cap Engine Coolant Leaks
If you have a leaky or weak radiator cap, you may have loss of coolant in the overflow tank. This could create an air lock in the rad as well.
Other Things Could Be:
This will also cause pressure loss and engine coolant leaks.

I was sent because I thought something was wrong with my trailer, but it turned out that my fuse popped out in my truck. The receptionist is a blast we laughed the entire time. Thank again for the help on my trailer and the laughs with the receptionist 🤗😂🤣.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, ValueHorrible!...brought six tires to be placed on our motorhome. Gave a quote that it should take half an hour per tire but since they had their "best tire guy" on it it came back costing twice as much. He also did not put the hub on correctly on front wheel and ended up losing it on the way home. The wheels are also scratched up and really look bad probably from impact wrench. They really don't care either when I called back to let them know.Service: TiresHorrible!...brought six tires to be placed on our motorhome.

Today today was a good day although I had to take my KW to a shop for some work…. I had never heard of Specialized Truck Repair until recent when I was searching for some where to get my KW looked at. Dustyn and Tyler both made me feel comfortable upon my arrival. The knowledge and expertise they displayed put me at ease when discussing what was going on with my truck. Then they went right to work, they did a full inspection of my truck and walked me through the deficiencies they found and gave me recommendation on repairing their findings. As a Driver we sometimes don’t see or know all the issues that our trucks may have. It is good that there are Technicians like Dustyn and Tyler that are honest and caring about the safety of your vehicle without trying to up sale you unnecessarily…..Thanks to Special Truck Repair Team in Olive Branch, MS……Today today was a good day although I had to take my KW to a shop for some work….
