The heavy-duty axles on your truck are a crucial part of the drivetrain, connecting the wheel hubs to the differential and transferring power to the wheels. While these axles are durable, they can suffer from wear and tear over time due to driving on rough roads, truck overloading, axle housing leaks, and other factors.

Your truck’s brakes are an important part of its architecture as they are made up of multiple components including brake pads, brake rotors, and calipers. There are many reasons why these brakes wear out early or become damaged. These factors are related to your driving style, the types of roads you drive on, the weight of loads your truck carries, and the materials used in brake pads.

Your heavy-duty truck’s engine produces significant heat while running, and this may initially escape your attention due to the presence of a coolant system. It circulates coolant that absorbs heat from your engine and helps dissipate it via a radiator.

Electrical systems of modern heavy-duty trucks that integrate various moving parts are becoming increasingly sophisticated. However, if they indicate that an issue is present, it can be difficult to diagnose and fix.

The driveline is a vital piece in any heavy-duty truck. Even if a single component is damaged, this can result in issues with the entire system and potentially damage interrelated components including the transmission.

In a heavy-duty truck, EGR and DPF mechanisms are designed to reduce the emission of harmful exhaust gasses. The EGR valve achieves this by recirculating a portion of the exhaust gas back into your engine’s cylinders. This process enhances engine efficiency and prevents DPF failure. An EGR’s main function is to decrease the quantity of nitrous oxide released via the vehicle’s exhaust system.
