Is It Time for Service on My 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty 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-250 Super Duty radiator serviced. Nonetheless, you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction. Your radiator is part of the cooling system. It helps regulate engine temperature. 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 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty is essential for long-term engine health. In fact, Ford recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but it’s a good idea to keep your eyes open for any indication that your radiator is failing. 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 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty engine, the water pump is one that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified.

Ford F-250 Super Duty Radiator Q&A

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 2016 Ford F-250 Super Duty radiator. Get answers to common radiator questions, and head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care as soon as you suspect a radiator issue.

  • Why is the coolant light on my Ford dashboard on? 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-250 Super Duty radiators need to be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your Ford F-250 Super Duty radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.
  • My F-250 Super Duty overheated! What can cause that? Your Ford F-250 Super Duty engine could overheat due to low coolant, a clogged radiator, a damaged water pump, a malfunctioning cooling fan, or a faulty thermostat.
  • What can cause a F-250 Super Duty radiator to make boiling or rumbling sounds? Your F-250 Super Duty’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-250 Super Duty radiator? Yes. Having rust in your Ford F-250 Super Duty radiator can cause leaks, a reduction in cooling efficiency, and even radiator failure. If rust is left untreated, it can corrode the radiator's cooling passages, causing small cracks or holes that can significantly impact the radiator's ability to function. To help prevent rust from becoming a major issue, it's important to properly maintain your radiator system.
