If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon radiator serviced. Nonetheless, 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.
Regular, proactive service on the radiator in your 1989 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon is essential for long-term engine health. To keep your radiator functioning, Ford recommends replacing your antifreeze or coolant at scheduled intervals but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. You could be on the verge of a radiator-induced engine breakdown 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.
What happens during a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon 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).

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump. Some services for your 1989 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon engine can wait, but the water pump is one part that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified.

Let our technicians examine your radiator pumps and hoses to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that your 1989 Ford E-350 Econoline Club Wagon is in good hands at Firestone Complete Auto Care.
