A/C Issues

Alternator Issues

A/C Issues

If your AC starts blowing warm air after initially blowing cold air, it could be due to a blown fuse, a leak, or a malfunctioning compressor clutch.
A refrigerant leak is a common cause of AC malfunctions. You might hear a hissing or bubbling noise when your AC is running if there's a leak.
If the compressor is working but the fan blades aren't spinning, the fan motor may be faulty.
Banging or rattling noises could indicate a broken part or debris in the AC vents. A squealing sound could mean a component needs to be lubricated.
A faulty expansion valve can cause fluctuations in the airflow, resulting in air from the vents that is too cold or too warm.
There are several reasons why your AC might not be producing any air, including a malfunctioning compressor, a clogged condenser, or a leak.

Air Leak

Alternator Issues

A/C Issues

In a quiet place, with the brakes set and wheels chocked, you can crawl under the truck to listen for leaks.
The air brake system may charge more often than usual, or take longer to charge.
Air leaks can be a serious safety hazard, as a lack of braking can cause you to be laid up for days or weeks. It's important to find and fix air leaks as soon as possible.

Alternator Issues

Trouble starting your truck
A dead battery or need for frequent jump- starts
Frequent stalling
A whining or screeching noise after your truck starts
A burning rubber odor
The battery light is on
Dim or overly bright lights

Axel Leak

Belt Replacment

Alternator Issues

Signs of Axle Damage:
Leaking Axle Fluid: Any signs of leaking axle fluid, such as puddles or stains under the vehicle, suggest a problem with the axle seals or other components. Leaking fluid can lead to inadequate lubrication and accelerated wear of the axle parts.

Battery Issues

Belt Replacment

A heavy truck battery typically lasts 3–5 years, but driving conditions and climate can impact this. Here are some signs that a truck battery may need replacing:
Starting issues: The engine cranks slowly or takes longer to start, or the truck won't start at all, even after jump-starting.
Battery warnings: A battery or check engine light appears on the dashboard.
Battery condition: The battery case is swollen or bulging, or there is a rotten egg smell, fluid leaking, or a powdery buildup on the terminals.
Charging: The battery needs frequent charging or jump-starting, or it doesn't hold a charge.
Battery age: The battery is over 4 years old.
If the battery is damaged or overcharged, it should be replaced. If even one battery in a semi-truck starts to fail, it's best to replace all of them.

Belt Replacment

Bad serpentine belt symptoms:
Squeaking, squealing, or chirping sound from under the Truck's hood.
Check that the engine light or battery light is illuminated on your dashboard.
A/C isn't working.
The power steering isn't working.
The engine's temperature is high or overheating.
The smell of burnt rubber.

Coolant Leak

Electrical Issues

A coolant leak in a heavy-duty truck can be a serious problem that can lead to engine damage, overheating, and other issues:
Overheating: Coolant leaks can cause a truck to overheat quickly, which can lead to engine damage, lower fuel efficiency, and increased emissions.
Engine damage: Coolant leaks can lead to warped cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, and engine block cracks.
Some common causes of coolant leaks in heavy-duty trucks include:
Damaged hoses: Rubber hoses can become damaged over time due to heat, wear, and time. Leaks can occur around hose clamps and in bends.
Faulty radiator cap: A faulty radiator cap can cause evaporation and a drop in coolant level.
Some signs of a coolant leak include:
A pool of coolant under the truck
A sweet smell, similar to maple syrup
Steam coming from under the hood while

Electrical Issues

Recognizing the Signs of Electrical Trouble:
Just like any complex system, electrical issues can arise in your truck. Early detection and prompt action are crucial to minimizing downtime and preventing further damage.
Here are some telltale signs of electrical problems to watch out for:
Engine starting issues: If your truck struggles to crank or start, the culprit could be a weak battery, failing starter, or electrical connection issues.
Strange electrical noises: Buzzing, clicking, or whining sounds can indicate loose connections, faulty components, or overloaded circuits.
Burning smell: This is a serious sign, potentially indicating overheated wiring or electrical components, and requires immediate attention.

Fuel Leak

Electrical Issues

Hubcap Leak Repair

A heavy truck fuel line leak can manifest in several ways, including fuel smells, visible leaks, and engine issues:
Fuel odors: A strong gasoline smell inside or outside the vehicle is a telltale sign of a leak.
Puddles or stains: Look for fuel stains or puddles under the truck when it's parked.
Engine issues: A fuel leak can affect engine performance, causing stalling, misfires, or difficulty starting. In severe cases, the engine may not run at all.
Check engine light: A lit check engine light could be due to fuel line issues, especially if combined with other symptoms.
Fuel efficiency: A sudden drop in fuel efficiency could mean fuel isn't reaching the engine properly.
Fuel leaks can be dangerous and should be addressed immediately as they pose a fire hazard.
To help locate leaks, you can try:
Fuel line dye: Add a fuel dye that glows under a black light.
Fuel detector: Use a device that can detect diesel or gasoline compounds.
Flashlight: Follow the fuel line from the rear to the front of the truck with a flashlight.
Leaking fuel can occur anywhere in the fuel system, including the fuel tank, injectors, or fuel lines.

Lighting issues

Hubcap Leak Repair

Lighting issues

When outfitting your truck and trailer with lighting, it's important to ensure it's done in a legal manner. Here's the equipment needed for compliant truck lighting:
Lower & Upper Beam Headlights
Parking Lamps
Daytime Running Lamps
Front Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Lights
Front Clearance Lamps, ID Lamps, Side
Marker Lamps & Reflex Reflectors
Rear Turn Signal/Hazard Warning Lamps
Rear Clearance Lamps, ID Lamps, Side Marker Lamps, Reflex Reflectors
Backup Lamp
Center High Mounted Stop Lamp
Rear Upper Body Marking
Rear Marking

In addition to truck lighting, having proper trailer lighting is also important.

Here is a list of federal lighting requirements for trailers:
Tail Lamps
Stop Lamps
Rear Turn Signal, Reflex Reflectors, Side Marker Lamps & Side Reflex Reflectors
License Plate Lamp
Front Side Marker Lamps & Reflex Reflectors
Intermediate Side Marker Lamps & Side Reflex Reflectors
Front & Rear Clearance Lamps – Rear ID Lamps (if over 80” wide)

U-Joint Repair

Hubcap Leak Repair

Lighting issues

A U-joint repair, or universal joint repair, is the process of replacing a worn or damaged U-joint in a vehicle.
U-joints are a crucial part of a vehicle's drivetrain, allowing the driveshaft to rotate and transfer power to the wheels. They are found in both front and rear wheel drive vehicles.

Brake Chamber Replacment

Visual damage: Look for dents, corrosion, bent pushrods, or missing dust plugs.
Contaminants: Water and dirt can get into the chamber through missing dust plugs or loose band clamps, which can corrode the power spring or pressure plate.
Low air pressure: A sign of a bad brake chamber.
Air brake system takes longer to charge: A sign of a bad brake chamber.
Loud hissing: A sign of a bad brake chamber.
Loss of braking power: A sign of a bad brake chamber.
Push rod sticking out: If the push rod is sticking out by ¾ to 1 inch, it may be installed on the wrong axle bracket holes or the slack adjuster may be the wrong length.
Brake chamber explosion: Brake chamber defects can happen unexpectedly and cause serious injuries or death.
Spring brake disablement: A mechanical disablement of a spring brake can cause a brake chamber explosion or defect.
Air line disconnection: Disconnection of the air line to the brake chamber can cause a brake chamber explosion or defect.
Brake chambers should generally be replaced every 100,000 miles.
