Maintaining engine cooling system components is critical not only to avoid breakdowns, but also to ensure the truck is operating effectively throughout its lifecycle. Experts weigh in on what to check ...

Your vehicle's engine cooling system is one of its most critical components. Its primary responsibility is to cycle coolant — which is a 50/50 mixture of water and antifreeze — through your engine to ...

Internal combustion engines — including those that run on diesel fuel — rely on various systems, accessories, and electronics to keep the pistons moving and your wheels turning. Of those systems and ...

New advanced engines and cooling systems are changing cooling system maintenance requirements. Service technicians and fleet managers should review their preventative maintenance (PM) strategy and ...

Your vehicle’s cooling system is more than just a radiator, water pump, thermostat, fan, and coolant. Well, OK, it is exactly that, but there is a lot more to an effective cooling system than just the ...

The antifreeze/cooling system for a heavy duty engine must be maintained for the entire system to operate at optimum efficiency. Each component within the system relies on the other components for ...

As an engineering professor for more than 40 years, my father often told me that the only difference between a difficult problem and an easy one is knowing the correct answer. While that axiom can be ...

How hot does your engine run? Is it on the cool side? The hot side? Where should it be? How big of a radiator should you run? Antifreeze or water? Tap or distilled? Do you need a pressurized cooling ...

The fields along America’s highways once covered in frost are now fully sprinkled in morning dew, indicating spring has sprung and summer is on its way. Soon, sweltering heat will pour down from the ...

The performance of fans and pumps is pivotal to the efficiency and responsiveness of the engine cooling system. In this study, a joint simulation model incorporating a detailed engine cooling system ...

The demands on modern engine-cooling systems are complex. Although increased performance, reduced fuel consumption, longer durability and cleaner emissions may appear to be at odds with each other, ...
