Check the battery (truck parts)
If the battery is used for more than four years, it will not work properly in the cold winter, and there may be some hope in the warm weather.
Save fuel
Old drivers know that emergency braking and acceleration are the most fuel-intensive, and unnecessary emergency braking and acceleration should be avoided during driving.
Check the air pressure
Generally speaking, low tire pressure will accelerate wear and increase fuel consumption. In order to extend the life of the tire, the tire pressure should be checked and inflated to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer.
Flush brake fluid regularly
The brake fluid in the truck will absorb moisture and cause severe corrosion to the brake system, so it is best to flush and replace the brake fluid every two years.
Unclog the hose
The overheating of the truck's engine is mainly caused by the hose being blocked or being too tight. Check the hose carefully when changing the oil.
Monitoring the catalytic softener
If you hear a whistle or smell rotten eggs when parking, it is likely that the exhaust gas catalyst is blocked. In this case, driving fuel consumption or even damage to the engine.
Check the coolant color
Regarding the coolant, if its color changes, it means that the inhibitor in it is exhausted, which will corrode the engine and radiator.
Check the tire surface
In use, tire wear is a normal phenomenon. If tire wear is serious and irregular, it may be due to a problem with wheel positioning or worn-out front-end components.
Change to synthetic lubricant
Compared with traditional lubricants, the use of synthetic lubricants can not only improve truck operating efficiency, but also keep the engine clean more effectively.
Check the air conditioning system
Regarding the temperature in the car, it should not be hot and cold, and should be maintained at a comfortable temperature. To ensure this, the truck’s air conditioning system must be checked regularly.
Daily inspection and maintenance are very important for driving thousands of miles safely. Vehicles must be inspected and maintained regularly, early prevention, early detection, and early maintenance are the last word. Good vehicle maintenance can not only reduce maintenance costs, but also extend the service life of the entire vehicle. Less money spent on maintenance of vehicles on the road means more money for drivers.
If your truck original air conditioner often breaks down, you can consider our all electric air conditioner which is driven by battery. It is more durable and performance well even in harsh environment. The whole installation is also very easy. It only take approximately 30--40 minutes to install. Only open hole on roof top, fix the a/c, connect hose, and wiring. That's it.
