Causes of overheating of trucks and remedies

While delivering shipments for long distances, technical issues are bound to arise. Ajit Transport Inc truck drivers regularly face the problems such as overheating of trucks. Before taking any remedial action it is important to know about the causes of it. In this blog we will explore the causes of overheating of trucks and their possible solutions. The causes are listed below:

1.       Lack of coolant

The coolant cools down the engine through a heat exchange mechanism. Any deficiency in its amount will lead to overheating. A solution to this problem is the topping off of the coolant. However, this problem needs to be identified first. ATI’s truck maintenance services have the capacity to identify and resolve any such problem that you might face.

2.       Leaking of the coolant

This might happen when there is a rupture or cracks appearing in the supply line. This can lead to insufficient or no coolant availability. This can be identified by a wet spot in the parking place. It should be checked if it is coolant or oil. As a solution replace the cracked portion as soon as possible.

3.       Damage to water pump

In case the water pump is unable to function due to damage, the coolant will not get circulated through the engine and cause overheating. In this case it is best to replace the damaged pump.

4.       Lack of oil

Oil is important as it provides lubrication. It helps in the smooth motion of the different parts of the vehicle. A lack of oil creates friction and generates heat. This heat beyond a certain limit cannot be cooled through the coolant. The solution is to top off your oil and check for leakage of oil. ATI’s expert technicians can identify this problem in no time and offer appropriate remedial solutions. 

5.       Problems with the radiator

The radiator helps in air circulation across the engine. If it stops functioning, then the engine will overheat. This could be due to problems like blockage of radiator airflow, bent or bad radiator cap, etc. Regular inspection of different parts of the vehicle such as the radiator fans is a solution to this problem. ATI provides comprehensive fleet maintenance services for all types of problems in the different parts of the truck.

6.       Defects in belts or hoses

Coolant flow is regulated by belts and hoses. There should be a vacancy in the hoses for liquid coolant to flow through. A solution to this problem is removing any possible obstruction in the hoses.

The expert technicians working at Ajit Transport Inc are eternally vigilant for any issues with the different parts of the truck. This is why ATI has been able to traverse through all technical challenges very easily. We invite you to avail our truck maintenance services today!
