Older diesel trucks are built tough. But tough doesn't mean maintenance-free.
A 2005, 2008, or 2010 diesel has years of heat cycles on the cooling system. Rubber hoses that have hardened and cracked. A radiator that may not be moving air the way it used to. A thermostat that's on borrowed time.
The older the truck, the more important it is to stay ahead of these issues β not react to them.
