How Often Do You Need to Change Coolant?

Your truck's coolant system is crucial to regulating the engine temperature. The coolant is essential to this and should be changed every 5 years, or after 1200 to 1500 hours of operation. Sticking to these intervals prevents overheating and costly damage, protects your vehicle's long-term health, and keeps it on the road.

Signs of Coolant System Failure

Understanding the signs of coolant system failure is vital to keeping your truck in optimal health. Detecting small issues before they become big problems can save you from costly repairs and downtime. Be on the lookout for these red flags:

Overheating Engine: The most common sign. If your truck's temperature gauge consistently runs high, it's time to check your coolant system.

Visible Coolant Leaks: Puddles of coolant (identifiable by a bright green or yellow color) under the vehicle clearly indicate a leak in the system.

Low Coolant Levels: Regularly dropping levels suggest a leak or a failing component.

Discolored Coolant: Contaminants or rust in the coolant can change its color (usually to a murky brown), indicating a problem.

Poor Cabin Heating: A malfunctioning coolant system can lead to inadequate heating in the truck's cabin.

Unusual Smells: A sweet smell often means a coolant leak, while a burnt odor may indicate an overheating engine.

Radiator Issues: Problems like cracks or blockages in the radiator can affect the entire coolant system.
