How Truck Maintenance Differs from Car Maintenance
There are, of course, similarities to working on a truck as there is a car. These include such things as regular oil changes, tire rotations, brake inspections and repairs etc.
However, there are distinct difference too – both noticeable and not so much. These include…
- A Need for ‘Up-Sized Tools’
A truck is simply a larger vehicle with larger parts. Even the sheer ability to lift a truck to work beneath it requires floor jacks that can withstand the weight. In addition, a larger wheelbase and wheels is also a factor. It makes changing over seasonal tires or working on brakes a safety issue without the proper equipment. Which GRiP TiRE & Auto in Port Moody is fully equipped with.
- More Frequent Maintenance & Repairs
It goes without saying that trucks are utilized differently than a car. From camping to off-roading, carrying heavy loads and towing capacity, to managing daily, dusty worksite commutes. As such, more frequent maintenance or repairs will be required to manage the mechanics such as oil changes and air filters, suspension, steering and driveshaft joint lubrication – just to name a few.
A truck’s sheer workload sometimes means regular fluid-replacement intervals are much shorter – according to CarGurus.
