Our Rowland Heights Shop Is the Place To Go for Maintenance When Your Semi Shows These Signs

A semi truck is an expensive purchase, so anything unusual should not be overlooked. It's time to schedule a maintenance appointment if your truck displays any of the symptoms below. When your truck needs expert attention in Rowland Heights, CA, or the surrounding areas, stop by Diesel Zone Diagnostics.

Brake Trouble

Serious accidents can result from brake issues. Bring your truck in immediately for a checkup if you notice anything amiss with your brakes. When your brakes are about to fail, you will feel vibrations or a spongey sensation when applying the brakes, pulling to one side while braking or hearing strange noises like grinding and screeching.

Fluid Leaks

Leak checks should be a part of every driver's pre-trip inspection. We advise scheduling an appointment with your neighborhood shop if you see any fluid puddles during an inspection or after your truck has been stationary for a long time. Transmission, engine, brake, power steering, and radiator fluid are all potential sources of leaks.

Heavy Exhaust Smoke

If your truck emits a lot of exhaust smoke, it's not only bad for the environment but also a warning indication that something is wrong. The color of your truck's smoke may help pinpoint where the issue is coming from. Blue smoke signals an oil leak or other oil issue, whereas white smoke typically indicates a problem with the cooling system or injectors. Black smoke is a sign that the engine is burning too much gasoline.
