Coolant System Repair Service in Plaistow, NH

Understanding the Coolant System

The coolant system in trucks plays a pivotal role in regulating the engine's temperature. It circulates coolant, usually a mixture of water and antifreeze, through the engine and radiator. This process dissipates heat, preventing the engine from overheating and ensuring optimal performance.
‍

Key Components of the Coolant System

• Radiator: The primary component where the coolant dissipates heat.
• Thermostat: Regulates the flow of coolant based on the engine's temperature.
• Water Pump: Circulates the coolant through the system.
• Coolant: A mixture of water and antifreeze that absorbs and transfers heat.
• Hoses: Channels that transport coolant between the radiator, engine, and heater.
  ‍

Importance of Regular Coolant System Maintenance

Regular maintenance of the coolant system is essential to prevent costly repairs and potential engine damage. Over time, the coolant can become contaminated with rust, scale, and other debris. This contamination can lead to reduced efficiency, overheating, and engine failure.
‍

Signs Your Coolant System Needs Attention

• Overheating Engine: The most obvious sign indicating a potential blockage or leak.
• Coolant Leaks: Puddles or spots under the vehicle.
• Frequent Coolant Top-Ups: Indicates a possible leak or evaporation issue.
• Unusual Noises: Whining or grinding sounds from the water pump.
• Discolored Coolant: Indicates contamination or rust.
