Common Problems that Lead to BreakdowN

  • Engine failure

  • Transmission problems

  • Fuel system failure

  • Brakes not functioning properly

  • Tire wear and tear

Engine failure

Diesel engines fail when small issues are ignored and allowed to grow. Regular service, proper fuel quality, and timely repairs keep these engines running strong for hundreds of thousands of miles.

Transmission

Another problem encountered by truck owners is the transmission. There are two types of transmissions mechanical and automatic; both can experience problems such as shifting errors or slips that need to be checked by a mechanic.

FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE

Contamination, poor maintenance, or stress from low - quality fuel can cause fuel system failures. Keeping filters changed, using clean diesel, and maintaining the system regularly helps prevent costly breakdowns.

Tires

Tires wear down over time and eventually will have to be replaced once they reach their maximum mileage limit (usually around 100k+ miles). Drivers need to inspect their tires regularly before heading out onto the roads so they know when it comes time for replacements.
