When it comes to keeping your truck on the road for as long as possible, it is paramount that you perform regular maintenance on it. The better you take care of your truck, the longer it will last, meaning the less money and stress you will have to invest toward buying a new truck. Fortunately, there are three simple tips you can follow to help make sure your truck lasts for as long as possible.
Tip #1: Get the oil changed on schedule
The owner’s manual in the glove box of your truck will have a recommended oil change schedule in it. You need to follow this schedule to the best of your ability. If you can’t find your owner’s manual, you can always call the dealership where you bought the truck and ask for one. Or if you prefer, you can go online and order one and have it sent straight to your home.
Tip #2: Check the coolant levels
If your truck gets too hot, it can cause the engine to blow up. This is not something you want to happen because it can cost thousands of dollars to replace the engine. Fortunately, you can avoid this by making sure the oil is changed according to schedule and by checking your coolant levels on a regular basis. If the coolant levels are low, make sure you fill them back to their recommended amounts.
Tip #3: Check the spark plugs
If your truck feels like it is losing power, it could be that the spark plugs need to be changed. If you change the spark plugs and it doesn’t help, the plugs may have coils on them that need to be replaced.
