Do Dodge D350 radiators need to be cleaned?

Cleaning your car shouldn’t be limited to the parts you can see. Regular cleaning is good for your radiator, too! When you take your Dodge D350 in for routine maintenance or service, it could be a good idea to opt for a radiator cleaning, too.

Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Dodge D350 engine to overheat.

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your D350. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

Is rust in my D350 radiator bad?

Yes. Rust in your Dodge D350 radiator could reduce cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even lead to radiator failure. Left unchecked, rust can damage the radiator's cooling passages causing small holes or cracks in the radiator. Maintain your radiator system to help prevent rust.

When Does My 1985 Dodge D350 Radiator Need Service?

It can be tough to know when to have your Dodge D350 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. The radiator is in the cooling system of your car, and it helps your engine temperature stay within a safe range. So, what happens when the radiator isn’t working quite like it should? You guessed it – your engine overheats, and it may even break down completely.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 1985 Dodge D350 is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Dodge recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. 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.
