Winter Prep Checklist for Your Diesel Truck:
Use Winter Diesel Fuel Additives
Prevent fuel gelling with winter blended diesel or anti-gel additives. Switch to Grade 1 diesel or a winter blend when temperatures dip below freezing.
Inspect and Replace Fuel Filters
A clogged fuel filter can leave you stranded. Ensure your filter is clean and ready to handle winter conditions.
Check Battery Health
Cold weather demands more from your battery. Test its voltage to avoid surprises on frigid mornings.
Test Coolant Levels
Too much or too little coolant can lead to costly engine damage. Let us test and adjust your coolant to the proper winter mix.
Monitor Tire Tread and Pressure
Properly inflated tires with good tread ensure better traction and braking on icy roads.
Examine Windshield Wipers and Heaters
Clear visibility and a warm cabin are essential for safe and comfortable driving.
Service Air Tanks and Dryer Cartridges
Moisture in your air system can freeze, causing brake issues. We’ll drain air tanks and service the dryer cartridge to prevent problems.
