The Top Most Common heavy duty truck mechanical problems

Braking issues on a commercial truck

A truck’s disc and drum brakes are exposed to consistent heat, pressure, and friction, which means they wear down without the right maintenance. Brake issues are usually related to things like external corrosion and wear, minor leaks, and internal water contamination that causes airlines to freeze during the colder months.

Tire repairs and challenges on a heavy-duty truck or trailer

When it comes to physical issues with your truck, tires are typically considered to be the most important components of any vehicle.

These failures are related to under inflation, low tread depth or misaligned axles. Always make sure to have each of your tires inspected thoroughly before you hit the road and look for those issues.

If one or more of these mechanical parts fails to function properly, your truck can’t continue on. Signs that your problems related to your electrical are things like flickering lifts or lowering or dimming lights, dead batteries, unusual burning or weird plastic smells, and clicking sounds when the engine starts up.

Wheel bearing issues

Sometimes while they’re moving, the driver notices an unusual amount of noise generating from the vicinity of the wheel wells, the bearings could be worn out. Another sign could be unstable road movements or swinging and jerkiness of the truck could be experienced. Get the wheel bearings checked for issues if these symptoms occur.
