We've compiled a checklist of the most commonly reported problems that truckers face during the summer months so you can help to prevent breakdowns and save on repair bills:
Tire Pressure:
It is very important to monitor your tires frequently, specifically in the heat of summer and cold of winter. The extreme conditions from outside temperatures as well as friction from the road surface can can pressure loss which can lead to blowouts. Keep an eye on your tire pressures before long trips and be sure to get tires replaced that consistently lose pressure.
Cooling System:
Is your truck "running hot"? If your engine is running outside of it's normal operating temperature, it could be the sign of a cooling system malfunction. Cooling systems work much harder in higher temperatures and are more prone to failure. If you notice your engine temperature gauge is reading higher than normal, schedule a cooling system checkup ASAP! In addition, your vehicle's ac system may need a car air conditioning service from a car ac repair technician to ensure it'll be working properly every time you go on a long drive.
Electrical System:
The electrical system of any truck is essential to the vehicle's operation. On modern cars and trucks, the electrical system is critical to managing on-board diagnostic computers and other components. If you notice an indicator light on your instrument panel that signals an electrical issue, call a truck mechanic right away! If the truck lighting needs to be replaced, make sure to buy high-quality supplies.
