When you schedule your next truck maintenance visit, don’t forget to have your “rational heat engine” inspected for potential emission problems. What’s that, you ask? It’s the description Rudolf Diesel used when he patented the diesel engine in 1892.

How often should the front and rear differential fluids be changed? Many owners who routinely use their trucks for heavy cargo hauling or vehicle towing opt to have the fluids changed every 30,000 miles or so.
If you have a single truck or a fleet, the best way to keep them in good condition is to bring us your engine maintenance or repair work. Our technicians perform accurate maintenance and perfect repairs, giving your vehicle the power it needs!
With tractor trailers, if both axles are more or less parallel but not perpendicular to the vehicle centerline, this is called a thrust angle problem. This is an issue as the drive axles are literally trying to push the vehicle away from the centerline.
Trucks equipped with DOCs (diesel oxygen catalysts) must have it inspected for loose connections, cracks, holes, and leaks. Failures and faults in the DOC contribute to engine overheating which will result in increased emissions and failed tests.
While the usual culprits in leaks are the tubes of the radiator or the hoses around it, sometimes, it's as simple as a cracked tank on the radiator. Fortunately, a radiator expert can either fix the crack or replace the radiator and get you up and running quickly.
Yes we do that.

Problems with your rig’s electrical system or wiring can be a complicated issue, and requires step-by-step analysis to determine exactly what the problem is before it can be corrected. We do not recommend that you take on the task yourself, but that you have a professional technician diagnose any issues.

If you need your radiator to work as hard as you do, consider investing in a high-performance serpentine core. The design promotes quick heat transfer, so the radiator releases heat more efficiently to keep your engine cooler.
The grill on your semi is great for intimidating that small car in front of you, but it also serves the very important purpose of bring air over the radiator fins. That air takes the heat from your coolant as the liquid runs through the radiator.

The invention of the semi-trailer dates back to 1914. The earlier use of semi-trailers was to deliver other means of transportation, such as cars and boats.
Did you know that engine boil-overs on an already-old radiator can lead to radiator failure? Boil-overs can lift sludge from the bottom of the engine’s water jackets, which will rapidly clog an older radiator that’s already full of rust and scale.
While diesel particulate filters have a projected life, that does not mean they can be neglected until that time. Because there are a number of factors that can cause them to deteriorate and fail before they should, periodic diagnostic checks ensure you will not be shut down.
Thank You to All Veterans

The emissions restrictions in some states are tighter than others. If you're headed to one of them, have an emissions check done beforehand, to make sure you'll be in compliance.
Did you know it is very important to have your oil and fuel filter changed? Your diesel engine requires cleaning and constant maintenance to keep it in good working condition.
If a blockage or leak inhibits the coolant from reaching the engine block, its temperature will not be controlled properly. "This is why maintaining a full coolant level is so important, especially during hot weather or long drives," the website wiseGEEK writes.
There are several benefits of having your tractor trailer properly aligned. Not only does this reduce operating costs via longer tire life, but one can also expect significant improvements in terms of fuel economy, component wear, and even driver fatigue.
Are you worried about whether or not the diesel fuel you bought is treated to prevent gelling? Don’t worry, if you bought it during the cold weather, it’s most likely the fuel has already been treated, but an extra dose of additive doesn’t hurt.
