Common Preventive Maintenance Services
Heavy-duty Brake Jobs
The brakes on your heavy-duty vehicle need to be proactively maintained in order to avoid unexpected brake failure. Heavy-duty brake systems are quite complex, but their maintenance regimen is actually quite straightforward. Over time, your brake pads and rotors wear down and must be replaced. Generally, this is accompanied by a brake caliper cleaning in which rust and other debris are removed from the caliper’s surface. Combine this with routine inspection of your brake lines, whether they be fluid or compressed air, and your brakes should always be reliable.
Oil and Fluid Changes
Every moving component within your vehicle has fluid of some sort that needs to be changed regularly. Some fluids are designed to lubricate moving parts, whereas others are designed to absorb heat. Over time these fluids break down and become less effective at their jobs. For example, when engine oil breaks down, your moving components aren’t lubricated well enough, increasing friction and heat. Your engine coolant, on the other hand, eventually loses its ability to absorb heat, which can cause your engine to overheat.
How can I prepare my heavy-duty truck for winter?
Winterize your heavy-duty truck by maintaining the engine coolant, servicing the glow plugs, using anti-gel additives, ensuring battery health, and protecting the air system from freezing. These steps help prevent costly breakdowns during harsh winter conditions.
