TIPS TO PREPARE YOUR TRUCK FOR WINTER
2

• The winter months can be a beast that requires
  specific winter maintenance attention, but proper
  and regular maintenance is vital all year round
  in the trucking industry. Even if the cold
  weather is a constant concern, the sudden
  temperature reductions have a considerably
  greater negative impact on the engine and other
  parts than the summertime heat does. As a result,
  any components that have not been adequately
  maintained will unavoidably see greater wear due
  to the extra stress of winter driving.
• In order to keep you safe and functional during
  severe winter weather conditions, let us look at
  some of the best winter truck maintenance advice
  by one of the Tata motors dealers in Gurgaon

Check Fluid Levels

• To keep your truck running as efficiently as
  possible throughout the cold weather months, make
  sure all of your fluids are full. To maintain
  clean eyesight, windscreen washer fluid may be
  necessary. When the temperatures drop, other
  fluids, particularly coolant and antifreeze for
  radiators, might become even more crucial in
  battling the winters stress. This aids in
  keeping good fuel efficiency.

Change Your Wipers

• Your wiper blades play a major role in keeping
  your vision clean while driving in bad weather.
  Intense weather conditions like freezing rain and
  ice build-up may leave you stranded with a
  damaged wiper blade if your windscreen wipers are
  too old and worn to handle the job.

Keep Your Fuel Tank At Least Half Full

• However, there are advantages to keeping more
  fuel in the tank during the winter, such as
  preventing condensation build-up that will
  introduce unwanted water into your tank. Truckers
  typically get into the habit of only filling up
  enough fuel for each trip so that their paycheck
  is not sitting in their fuel tanks. Even if your
  gasoline tank has a water separator before it
  enters, condensation build-up can still result in
  water entering the tank later.

Check The Battery

• Battery maintenance in cold weather requires
  extra attention as well. It is essential to
  confirm that the battery is still in good
  condition so you can be sure it can keep a
  charge. You might want to think about maintaining
  a reliable voltage tester on board. The battery
  must always be completely charged, and the
  terminals must be free of corrosion, which might
  impede or stop a charge and leave you with a dead
  battery.

Plug In The Engine Block Heater

• Trucks plugged in under the hood with extension
  cords may be seen in chilly weather. Although it
  may seem strange to some, this actually serves an
  important purpose by preventing cold soaks and
  keeping the engine block warm, which makes it
  simpler to start the engine.

11
Check Tires And Tire Pressure

• We are aware that as the temperature changes
  outside, the air in tyres expands and contracts.
  Naturally, this can get worse in subfreezing
  weather, so its critical to keep the tyres
  properly inflated to keep them operating safely
  and prevent excessive wear. As per one of
  the Tata Motors Dealers in Ambala, it will be
  easier to avoid breakdowns and accidents if your
  tyres are properly inflated and your winter tyres
  are in good condition.

Avoid Cold Soaks

• For people who are unfamiliar with diesel
  engines, cold soaks may seem strange. They
  happen when the engine fluids and metal engine
  block components reach room temperature. The
  fuels hazy appearance, caused by the wax
  component solidifying, can also have an effect.

14
Use Winterized Fuel

• Diesel fuel doesnt perform well in the cold.
  Running your truck on untreated fuel in
  sub-freezing conditions can result in major
  problems including fuel gelling, clogged filters
  from build-up, or even frozen fuel lines.
  Avoiding these problems will help your engine
  last longer and keep you on the road earning
  money.
