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 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.

This place is as shady as it gets. They promised to replace my trailor tires at a better cost than everyone else. Turns out I learned the hard way about tires. They replaced my radial tires with nylon bi tires. Brand new tires were getting so hot that they would split in half and shred apart while driving only an hour on them. They said they couldn't help me and gave me a check for a fraction of what I spent with them. Paul is very untrustworthy and does not treat there customers well. Warning, beware of them and if your in a bind and have to use them, make sure your getting what they promise. I'll also be reviewing them on the BBB and letting everyone I know to steer clear!This place is as shady as it gets. They promised to replace my trailor tires at a better cost than everyone else.

Went there for force regen and the front desk employee asked me to wait in truck . After waiting for 2 hours went back to office and she said we thought you left and we can’t repair your truck today . Wasted my time . Its better go to 10-4 truck service and also their price is resonable.
