Components That Need Preventive Maintenance
Diesel Engine PMs
In order to effectively maintain your diesel engine, you need to drain and fill both your oil and coolant. Your engine oil must be changed out once every 20 thousand miles, whereas your coolant must be swapped out once every 30 to 60 thousand miles. Why must you do this? Over time, oil and coolant break down due to prolonged exposure to your engine’s heat. Broken-down coolant will clog up your radiator and fail to effectively absorb radiant heat. Oil on the other hand will break down and fail to adequately lubricate your engine’s internal components.
Drivetrain Component PMs
Drivetrain components such as your transmission, transfer case, and differentials must have their fluids changed once every 30 to 60 thousand miles. Without proper fluid changes, you may find it difficult to shift through your transmission’s gears. Your transfer case may not engage your forward driveshaft properly, and your differentials may seize and fail altogether. To get the oil and fluid in your drivetrain components changed today, give us a call.
Power Steering PMs
Semi trucks use strong power steering systems to turn your front wheels. Maintaining this crucial system is a matter of replacing your power steering fluid once every 30 to 60 thousand miles. If you notice a high-pitched screeching sound or have trouble turning, you may need to flush out your old fluid.
