Components That Need Preventive Maintenance

Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

In order for your heavy-duty diesel engine to run properly, it needs both oil and coolant. Your engine oil is responsible for lubricating the various moving parts within your engine, and your coolant is responsible for absorbing and dispersing heat. Over time both of these fluids break down and need to be replaced. If you’re in need of an oil or coolant change, give us a call, and we’ll book you in for service. 

Transmission and Differential Fluid

Your transmission and differentials both need fluid in order to lubricate their moving gears. Since your transmission and differentials don’t get nearly as hot as your engine, their fluids don’t need to be replaced at the same rate. Most manufacturers recommend you change your transmission and differential fluids once every 60 thousand miles, but depending on your towing and hauling habits, that interval may change. 

Suspension

Your suspension is full of components that need preventive maintenance. First, your bushings and bearings will eventually wear out over time. By replacing them before they do, you’re reducing the chance of an unexpected breakdown. Secondly, you should also be inspecting your suspension on a regular basis for rust damage and rust coat it when necessary.
