Frequently Asked Questions About Trucks Repairs

How often should I change the fuel filters on a diesel truck?

Most manufacturers recommend changing fuel filters every 15,000 to 25,000 miles. However, if you operate in dusty or dirty environments, more frequent replacement can prevent clogging and performance issues.

Why does my truck have low oil pressure?

Low oil pressure may be due to worn bearings, a clogged oil pickup tube, or a failing oil pump. Running the engine with low pressure can lead to serious damage.

How often should I inspect wheel bearings?

Wheel bearings should be inspected at every brake service or roughly every 50,000 miles. Catching early wear prevents breakdowns and keeps the wheel assembly safe.

How do I know if my truck has an electrical issue?

Look for dim lights, slow cranking, or intermittent failures of accessories. These symptoms may signal problems with the alternator, wiring, or battery connections.

When should I flush my truck’s cooling system?

Flush the cooling system every 2 to 3 years or as recommended by the manufacturer. Dirty coolant can cause overheating and corrosion in the radiator and engine.
