Truck Preventive Maintenance Software
For hotter months and higher temperatures, you should focus on the cooling system as well as the electrical system. Here are some areas to concentrate on: Air conditioning: Check for debris and leaks. Coolant: Drain the coolant, flush it, and have it pressure tested at least once every year. Electric system: Inspect the battery for corrosion. Make sure wires and cables are secure. Tire pressure: Do not allow warm air to increase tire pressure beyond safety limits. In colder areas, trucks are more vulnerable to freezing temperatures, snow and/or ice. You should pay particular attention to important safety parts like the windshield wipers, power steering, and other components. Because fluids are susceptible to freezing when the temperature drops, you'll want to regularly check their levels. These are the areas you need to be aware of in colder climates: Windshield, check for chips or cracking, make sure wiper blades remain sharp, and make sure defrosters function properly. Before starting a winter-drive, make sure that your ABS works correctly. Fluids: Check the fuel filter for leakage and keep fluids from freezing, including diesel fuel, exhaust liquid, coolant, engine oil, and coolant. Tyre tread: Make sure that your tires have sufficient tread depth to winter drive and that you have chains. Exterior: Make sure to clean your cab, undercarriage, and car regularly to avoid salt buildup.
