What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Dodge?

When should my Dodge Viper radiator be cleaned?

To keep your Dodge Viper radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.

What is causing my Viper to overheat?

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

What can cause a Viper radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds?

There could be air pockets in your Viper’s cooling system. You might also have a clogged radiator or faulty radiator cap (this last one is an easy fix!).

Should I be concerned about rust in my Viper radiator?

Yes. Rust in the radiator of your Dodge Viper can impair its cooling efficiency, cause leaks, and even result in complete failure of the radiator. Over time, rust can eat away at the radiator's cooling passages, forming tiny holes or cracks that can affect its operation. To help prevent rust from causing damage, you should stay on top of radiator maintenance.

Is It Time for Service on My 1992 Dodge Viper Cooling System?

Not sure what a radiator does? That makes it difficult to know when to have your Dodge Viper radiator serviced, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. If your radiator isn’t functioning like it’s supposed to, the engine can overheat – or worse, break down.

Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1992 Dodge Viper is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. Dodge recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but it’s also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you notice leaking coolant, overheating, or an illuminated low coolant dashboard light. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Dodge Viper Coolant Fluid Exchange

What happens during a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Dodge Viper cooling system. We’ll do a machine-powered coolant exchange on the system, and then we’ll top off or replace the fluids that were removed (like chemicals, lubricants, and sealants). Lastly, we’ll perform a pressure check to look for leaks.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too. The water pump is one part on your 1992 Dodge Viper engine that you'll want to have repaired or replaced as soon as you discover a problem with it. This vital part keeps coolant moving through the engine, hoses, and radiator. If it’s not working well (or at all), your engine can easily overheat. Let our technicians examine your radiator pumps and hoses to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. From the heater core to the radiator cap, your 1992 Dodge Viper is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care. Every job we do is backed by our Triple Promise: Fixed Right, Priced Right, Right on Time.
