When to Service Your 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Ford F-150 Lightning radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for. As part of your car’s cooling system, your radiator helps keep engine temperature regulated. When the radiator isn't working properly, your engine can overheat and potentially break down.

Staying on top of routine radiator maintenance for your 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning 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 also wise to keep an eye out for signs of a failing radiator.

Wondering how to make your 2024 Ford F-150 Lightning radiator last as long as possible? Read on for answers to common questions, and visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care when your engine shows any signs of a faulty radiator.

  • What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Ford? Your engine might be about to overheat. If your low coolant light is on, pull over in a safe area and wait for your engine temperature to go down. Once it’s safe to do so, bring your car to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care to have the coolant system inspected.
  • Can an antifreeze leak wait? It's better to get it fixed sooner than later. Antifreeze is toxic if consumed, but its smell can attract cats and dogs. Keep your whole family safe by repairing antifreeze leaks ASAP and thoroughly hosing down your parking spot to get rid of any lingering residue on the ground.
  • Do Ford F-150 Lightning radiators need to be cleaned? To keep your Ford F-150 Lightning radiator running well, it’s wise to get it cleaned out a few times a year.
  • What is causing my F-150 Lightning to overheat? Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Ford F-150 Lightning engine to overheat.
  • My F-150 Lightning radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up? Your F-150 Lightning’s cooling system could contain air pockets or your radiator might be clogged. Another possibility is a faulty radiator cap, which is an easy fix!
  • Is it bad to have rust on my F-150 Lightning radiator? Yes. If you have rust in your Ford F-150 Lightning radiator, it could cause leaks, negatively impact cooling efficiency, and eventually lead to radiator failure.
