Semi-Truck Coolant Analysis in Alabama

A Functioning Coolant System Means Fewer Breakdowns

Semi-Truck Antifreeze Testing

Coolant is an often-overlooked critical component in your semi-truck’s performance and reliability. Neglecting your coolant can lead to costly roadside breakdowns. Regular coolant analysis identifies potential issues early, keeping your diesel truck from leaking antifreeze and minimizing unexpected downtime.

At Thompson Truck Source, we know these dangers and will conduct a semi-truck coolant analysis in Alabama to reduce your breakdowns.

Commercial Truck Coolant Analysis Keeps You Moving

Coolant-related problems cause costly and time-wasting breakdowns on the road, and you can avoid many of these by scheduling a semi-truck coolant analysis before your vehicles depart on cross-state trips. Antifreeze testing can identify the larger potential problems by spotting the following:

  • Corrosion of engine components
  • Presence of coolant contaminants like dirt and oil
  • Low coolant levels
  • Inadequate freeze protection
  • High acidity levels
  • Scale and sediment buildup
  • Ineffective coolant formulation
  • Leaks in the cooling system
  • Overheating issues
  • Reduced heat transfer efficiency

Each of these indicators could cause one or more problems to a diesel semi-truck engine’s critical parts, including degradation, blockages, cracks, failure, corrosion, decreased performance or even engine failure. Plus, your truck will likely experience increased fuel consumption. At Thompson Truck Source, we’ll carry out an antifreeze system analysis and, if necessary, follow it up with a diesel truck coolant system service to rectify any issues we find.

Reduce Maintenance Costs With a Coolant Analysis

A frequent coolant analysis will reduce your fleet’s maintenance costs. Over time, coolant degrades through contamination, additive depletion, or chemical breakdown. By analyzing its acidity, contamination levels, and chemical composition, Thompson Truck Source can provide vital insights into a semi-truck’s coolant health to avoid unnecessary future maintenance costs.

Coolant testing reveals antifreeze leaks, chemical imbalances, and contamination that signal internal component wear. Early detection allows for proactive repairs, saving money on more comprehensive fixes. Instead of relying on mileage counts or general maintenance schedules, this analysis allows you to replace your truck’s coolant based on its actual condition to ensure ongoing, sufficient protection. This timely replacement will reduce your semi-truck engine’s wear and tear through degraded coolant that could cause scaling, corrosion and expensive part replacement.
