Understanding what your coolant system is and how it works is the first step in being able to recognize when it may need maintenance or repair. One of the primary functions of coolant is to regulate heat within the cylinder head and engine block. The coolant system is designed to circulate a cooling medium which absorbs heat from the engine and dissipates it through a heat exchanger (i.e., a radiator or cooler). Coolant picks up heat and transfers it to the radiator. Coolant is also used to protect against freezing and boiling, corrosion and pitting of cylinder liners and the engine block.
If a problem occurs in the process of dissipating the engine heat, then this is where you would begin to see equipment failure and engine issues, including engine failure.
What can you do to help maintain your coolant system?
At Schroeder Truck Repair, we advise customers on industry best practices to maintain their coolant systems and prolong the life of their heavy-duty vehicles. Some of these practices can include:
- Ensuring the cooling system is filled with coolant and the freeze protection level is adequate
- Using the same coolant already in the engine for top-ups
- Checking radiator fluid levels and concentration
- Properly cleaning and flush the system when coolant is changed
- Checking the integrity of the radiator cap and looking for leaks

I've been using Schroeder's since 2010.My 2016 peterbilt had 95% of all repairs done here. I bought the truck new in 2015 it has 735,000 on it. They do all the work on my 2023 peterbilt also. They also do all my trailer repairs as my trucks are car haulers.Top notch service, excellent staff and good people that stand behind their work. They have gone above and beyond for me numerous times and I know they would for you too. Thanks for all you do! Great job for a really long time.
Did great work replacing the glow plugs, harnesses, rellay on my skoolie. They don’t always work on international but I knew what I wanted done and they were happy to oblige. Everyone there was welcoming and friendly. And a solid rate for Denver. Would definitely return
A buddy of mine recommended this shop. What I appreciate about this shop is that they actually take reservations for work. Many shops have gone to a first come first serve, which in my business does not work. My truck has to be on the road and working. They were able to schedule me, get me in evaluate the issues get parts and get my truck out in a single day. Great service, friendly staff and quality work. I will return to the shop for any other issues my truck has.
Experienced and well-equipped shop that takes great care of your rig. I came in with a few issues—they took me in right off the street and had everything fixed within a couple of hours, saving me valuable time. Big plus: they really know how to maintain your Carhauler!
Everything went well. Everything was done in a timely manner. Excellent customer service. Melissa kept me updated with everything that was going on.
Although I live in NC, I've been using Schroeder Truck Repair for over 16 years. Their mechanics and people are top notch. There's not a better mechanic in the country than David. From light mechanical to big mechanical jobs to welding, Schroeder has taken care of it all for me. They're a big reason my 2016 car hauler (truck and trailer) have over 1.2 million miles and is still going strong. When I leave Schroeder I know any problem is resolved... every time. Thanks Schroeder!
