Cooling System Mistakes That Can Hurt Your Engine

from The Diesel Podcast Hosted by The Diesel Podcast

Modern diesel engines generate a lot of heat, and keeping that heat under control puts a huge demand on the cooling system. But how often should you actually change your coolant, and what happens when you leave it in too long? Rislone joins us to talk about diesel cooling systems, proper coolant maintenance, and some of the common mistakes truck owners make. We discuss corrosion and contaminants that can build up over time, how coolant condition can affect heat transfer, best practices when changing coolant, and why maintaining the cooling system is so important on modern Cummins, Duramax, and Power Stroke engines.
