Coolants: What You Need to Know to Prevent Downtime
Sponsored By D-A Lubricant Company, Inc.
Did you know coolant is just as important as your engine oil when it comes to your fleet? Coolant needs to be monitored and tested because mechanical and/or chemical reactions can take place hindering the performance of the coolant. Coolant can break down and become less effective over time. Not monitoring the coolant could result in corrosion and/or sludge, which can impact proper function of the cooling system. If the cooling system becomes damaged, you risk the possibility of the engine overheating causing downtime for your business.

FTR reports preliminary trailer orders fell back in July 28% from the final trailer orders reported for June to a total of 17,000 units. July 2022 trailer order activity was +101$ y/y with orders now totaling 275,000 units for the past twelve month.
“Amidst these uncertainties and production challenges, OEMs have continued to strategically manage backlog levels and maintain strong build rates,” said Charles Roth, analyst, commercial vehicle, FTR. “Under these conditions, order volumes are likely to improve in Q4 as OEMs begin filling their production schedules for 2023.”
OEMs still appear to be cautious about taking orders for next year’s build slots, however, the holding pattern does appear to be opening on a limited basis. Moderate improvements are being made month over month however supply chain conditions, rising material costs, and labor availability continue to remain inhibiting factors that are making it very difficult for manufacturers to increase build rates.
“While trucking conditions have as of late suffered due to weaker market dynamics and increasing costs, overall demand for new equipment remains exceptional,” Roth said, “and is expected to remain strong as carriers are still in need of new equipment to supplement their replacement cycles.”
