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

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!
Great experience at a bad moment. They took our truck in their shop right after arrival, diagnosed bad batteries and lose wire on the alternator that was causing battery overcharge.They already had the right batteries, replaced them and it took them 1h45min together with diagnostics and replacement. The charge was fair as well. I wish every shop was like them. Right on point, great feedback and organized.We didnt even had to cancel our reload. We loaded on time and kept trucking. Two thumbs up!
I lease trailers to owner operators in the Southeast and one of my trailers happened to get stuck at Phil, Mike, and Brandon's garage Schroeder Truck Repair for several months. These guys are the absolute best, they are kind, understanding, professional, and their staff is the same. They communicated, took pictures and helped me when i know a lot of other places would not spend the time to be helpful. They are guys you can trust. I highly recommend them. My driver's who had work done there as well, also had a good experience. I would imagine they would and should have hundreds of 5 star reviews. Honest guys running a great business and doing it the right way. Thank you so much.

Schroeder truck repair I would highly recommend! They do a fabulous job! The quality of work from them is top tier! Quality and quick turnaround is great as well!
We use Schroeder Truck to maintain our companies fleet including light truck and yellow iron. Our company is in a remote area in the plains making it hard to get service. Phil and Joey take great care of our units keeping them operating and maintained. They are flexible to try and get to us quickly if a machine goes down. I highly recommend them as a mobile repair team.
