In our last blog post, we discussed the importance of being prepared for a winter breakdown. With the colder weather comes a higher chance of unexpected engine, tire or drivetrain failure. In this month’s blog post, we’ve compiled a checklist of items that you can inspect yourself to reduce the risk of getting stranded. You may also want to consider being prepared for the future, if you haven’t already.
Tires
One of the most commonly repaired and replaced components of any truck or trailer is tires. Salt, icy roads, potholes – all of these can cause tremendous wear on your vehicle’s tires and lead to a blowout. If you notice a “bald” tire – it’s time to consider replacing it!
Lights
Your truck and trailer box lights aren’t just for your safety – they’re for the safety of other drivers on the road. If your lights aren’t working correctly, it can lead to serious accidents. For bulbs you can’t replace yourself or more technical electrical issues, T & T Mobile Repair is here to help!
Glowplugs
For diesel engines equipped with glowplugs, now is the time to make sure they’re operating correctly! If your engine has a hard time starting or runs rough, your glowplugs could be the issue.
