Common Coolant System Issues
Fan Clutch Failure
Is your truck overheating? Do you not hear your cooling fan running? If so, you probably have a busted fan clutch. Your fan clutch is responsible for turning your cooling fan on and off based on the operating temperature of your engine. When starting, your fan will remain off in an effort to encourage combustion. Once it reaches an adequate temperature, the fan clutch will engage and start your cooling fan. This in turn allows heat to be dispersed. A fan clutch that fails may never activate your cooling fan, hence the overheating.
Water Pump Failure
The component that pushes coolant through your engine and into your various cooling systems is called a water pump. If this water pump fails, your coolant will remain stationary and fail to disperse enough heat. If your water pump is malfunctioning, it’s likely due to the age of the pump and how much it’s used. Factors that decrease a water pump's lifespan are anything that puts more stress on it. For example, if your coolant is old and broken down, your water pump may have to push through clogs and debris caused by the old fluid.
