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.

Critical: ValueMy APU needed a simple oil change. I provided all filters. Job only takes a half hour at most, but they did the job in 28 minuets. Unfortunately, they charge a minimum of three hours labor, well over 300 bucks. Speedco or any loves will do it for just over a hundred dollars. So, if your truck's APU needs an oil change, take it to any loves or Speedco and save yourself a full day's wages.My APU needed a simple oil change. I provided all filters.

A "hidden" gem! I thought Angels Truck Service was for 18-wheelers but called and spoke with the owner, Paul, who was extremely nice and helpful. I went by the shop yesterday to see about getting tires mounted for John Deere lawn tractor. I was amazed at the exceptional customer service, the helpful attitudes, and the consideration of everyone one I encountered. I can't say enough nice things about Paul, Angels Truck Service and his guys! I highly recommend this business!!!A "hidden" gem!

PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED. Nearly $500 for a leaky radiator hose, charged for 10 gallons of antifreeze when the truck was almost full of brand new antifreeze which I guess nobody bothered to save, 2 hours of labor when they changed the hose in 10 minutes and a serious attitude problem when we asked about the shady bill. The hose itself costs $35.00 at the local dealer....In the end we just wanted to pay our bill and be on our way but they refused to accept our credit card and insisted on cash payment, fearing a claim because of their shady services. Lost nearly 5 hours and had to get the local police involved so that they would accept a DEBIT card because our driver did not have enough cash on him. STAY AWAY.PERFECT PLACE TO GET SCAMMED.
