What does an illuminated coolant temperature light mean for my Isuzu?

If the coolant light illuminates on your dashboard, your engine could be overheating. Pull over to a safe area and wait for the engine to cool down. Then, head to your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care for a coolant system check.

Is an antifreeze leak dangerous?

Don’t ignore puddles on your driveway or garage floor. If you see a green, bright orange, or pink fluid puddling under your car (it might be sticky, too), it could be antifreeze that’s leaking out of the engine. Antifreeze has a sweet, attractive smell to cats and dogs (and it’s highly toxic to them), so look out for your pets! Repair any leaks as soon as possible, then carefully wash away any remaining fluid that’s left behind on the driveway or garage floor.

Do Isuzu Pickup radiators need to be cleaned?

It could be a good idea to have your Isuzu Pickup radiator cleaned out a couple of times a year, maybe at the same time as a tire rotation or oil change.

What can cause my Pickup to overheat?

Low coolant, a damaged cooling fan, a faulty water pump, a malfunctioning thermostat, or a clogged radiator could all cause your Isuzu Pickup engine to overheat.

My Pickup radiator sounds like it's rumbling or boiling! What's up?

If your radiator sounds like it's boiling or rumbling, you could have air pockets in the cooling system of your Pickup. You might also have a damaged radiator cap (super easy to fix!) or a clogged radiator.

There’s rust in my Pickup radiator. Should I be worried?

Yes. Having rust in your Isuzu Pickup 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.

When to Service Your 1984 Isuzu Pickup Cooling System

If you’re not sure what the purpose of a radiator is, it’s hard to tell when to have your Isuzu Pickup radiator serviced. Nonetheless, it's still extremely important. 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.

Keeping up with regular radiator maintenance in your 1984 Isuzu Pickup is a huge factor in the longevity of your engine. In fact, Isuzu recommends replacing coolant/antifreeze at specific intervals, but you can also take note of any signs your radiator is going bad. You might be driving around (or about to be stranded) with a failing radiator if you notice a low coolant light or higher-than-normal engine temperatures on your dashboard, or if you spot coolant leaks coming from your car. Visit your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for a Courtesy Check at the first sign of one of these issues.

Radiator Repair Service for Your Isuzu Pickup

What’s included in a radiator repair service? If you bring your vehicle to Firestone Complete Auto Care, we start with a comprehensive inspection of your Isuzu Pickup’s cooling system. We then do a machine-powered radiator exchange, replenish flushed chemicals, sealants, and lubricants, and then pressure check for leaks.

If your radiator is acting up, odds are good that your water pump needs to be checked for proper function, too.

If it isn’t functioning properly, your engine won’t be able to stay within its optimal temperature range.

If you’re about to lose your cool over a too-hot engine, rest assured that we’ll take excellent care of your 1984 Isuzu Pickup at Firestone Complete Auto Care. After all, we know it’s not just a car.
