Are rising engine temperatures causing rising stress levels for you? Cool it! Schedule your 1999 Chevrolet C1500 radiator service or repair today.
If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Chevrolet C1500 radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.
Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1999 Chevrolet C1500 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. To keep your radiator functioning, Chevrolet recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump. Of all the parts in your 1999 Chevrolet C1500 engine, the water pump is one that you'll want to have repaired or replaced as soon as you discover a problem with it.
