Is It Time for Service on My 1995 GMC C1500 Cooling System?

It can be tough to know when to have your GMC C1500 radiator serviced if you don't know what it does, but you need to know the signs of radiator malfunction.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1995 GMC C1500 is crucial to keep your engine in the best possible shape for years to come. GMC recommends that you replace coolant (also called antifreeze) at certain intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad.
