Is It Time for Service on My 2009 Ford F-350 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-350 Super Duty radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it’s vital to know what to look for. 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.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Ford recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. Your radiator could be close to causing an engine breakdown if you see coolant leaks under your car, high engine temperatures, or a dashboard light that indicates low coolant. When you experience one or more of these issues, head to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check.

Radiator Repair Service for Your Ford F-350 Super Duty

What happens during a radiator repair service? At Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start by performing a thorough inspection of your Ford F-350 Super Duty 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.

Issues with your radiator often coincide with a malfunctioning water pump. The water pump is one part on your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty engine that needs to be addressed ASAP once an issue is identified. The role of the water pump is to keep coolant circulating in your engine, radiator, and hoses. Without it, your engine won't maintain its optimal temperature. Our trained technicians can inspect your car’s radiator hoses and pumps to help you stay ahead of any potential engine problems. From the radiator cap to the heater core, we’ll take excellent care of your 2009 Ford F-350 Super Duty at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car. It’s your car.

Common Ford F-350 Super Duty Radiator Questions

With regular maintenance and service as needed, you could extend the life of your 2009 Ford F-350 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.
  • What are the puddles in my driveway or garage floor? Notice a leaking fluid that's green, bright orange, or pink and feels sticky? It might be antifreeze. Antifreeze is toxic but has a sweet smell and taste that's attractive to many cats and dogs. Do your pets a favor and have an antifreeze leak investigated ASAP. Then hose down the driveway or garage floor!
  • Do Ford F-350 Super Duty radiators need to be cleaned? It could be a good idea to have your Ford F-350 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-350 Super Duty overheated! What can cause that? One of the main reasons your Ford F-350 Super Duty engine might overheat is because you don’t have enough coolant. Other causes include a clogged radiator, a damaged cooling fan, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a faulty water pump.
  • Why does the radiator in my F-350 Super Duty sound like it’s rumbling or boiling? Air pockets in your F-350 Super Duty’s cooling system may cause a rumbling or boiling noise. You could also have a clogged radiator or simply need to replace the radiator cap.
  • Is rust in my F-350 Super Duty radiator bad? Yes. Having rust in your Ford F-350 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.
