Common questions and tips from our work with up to 300 miles from West Chicago customers.
- What are signs my truck's water pump is failing?
- Watch for coolant leaking near the front of the engine, a low coolant warning, a sweet smell, steam, or a temperature gauge that climbs under load or on hills. A whining or grinding noise from the pump area can also point to a worn bearing. If the engine starts to overheat, pull over safely and shut it down before damage spreads to the head gasket or other parts.
- Should I keep driving if my truck is overheating?
- No. Driving an overheating diesel can warp the cylinder head, damage the head gasket and lead to a much larger repair. Pull over where it is safe, shut the engine down, and do not open the radiator or surge tank cap while the system is hot and under pressure. Call for help and describe what the gauge and warning lights showed.
Tip
Check the cooling system during pre-trip inspections
During each pre-trip, look at the coolant level in the surge tank, check hoses for cracks, soft spots or swelling, and look under the truck for drips or crusty residue near the water pump and radiator. Check belts for wear and proper tension. Catching a small leak in the yard is far easier than dealing with an overheated engine on a loaded run.
