If left unaddressed, a dirty transmission can lead to more significant problems and more expensive repairs. Instead, bring your commercial truck in for service at Skaha Ford in BC to protect your investment.

The transmission fluid in your Ford is crucial to its reliable operation. It acts as a lubricant and a hydraulic fluid that supports gear changes, keeps the transmission cool, and greases moving parts. Unfortunately, the fluid will degrade faster if you operate under severe conditions, transport big loads, or tow frequently, necessitating a flush. Transmission fluid can also collect dirt and particles over time, leading to mechanical issues if not taken care of.

When you schedule your medium-duty truck for an inspection, our Ford factory-trained experts with Red Seal certifications will examine your transmission fluid to see whether it's in good shape or if it needs to be replaced. If a flush is required, the old fluid will be removed and replenished with new, restoring your truck's performance and ensuring smooth shifting and gear changes.

Not only does it power the starting system, but it also supplies energy to all of the electrical components.  

As a result, the battery is an essential component of your commercial truck – and one that our service experts at Skaha Ford can ensure superior performance with our maintenance services.

Batteries begin to fail after approximately three years, but it’s not the only determining factor. Battery life depends on usage cycles and operating conditions. Warning signs of a worsening battery can include:

• Hard starting, slow cranking
• Accessory failure
• Charging or electrical system problems
• Damaged battery cables 
• Bulging or deformed battery containers
• Loose battery terminals
• Leaky battery fluid

When you bring your Ford medium-duty truck in for service, our factory-trained Red Seal-certified Technicians can test your battery to ensure optimal performance. We will also complete a visual inspection of the battery and its connections. If replacement is required, we can recommend and install the best battery for your commercial vehicle to perform well with your typical driving conditions.

This includes ensuring your medium-duty truck’s diesel particulate filter is regularly serviced to avoid costly breakdowns and long periods of downtime.

At Skaha Ford in BC, we are the diesel service experts that your commercial fleet can trust. Like other filters on your truck, the diesel particulate filter plays an essential role in removing excess soot from the exhaust gas of a diesel engine. When this component is not cared for, particulate will collect in the exhaust stream of the filter, which restricts system flow and creates backpressure. When this occurs, engine damage is likely. The diesel particulate filter can also become clogged, cracked or melted, creating low vehicle power, poor fuel economy and excessive coolant usage.

Schedule your medium-duty truck for a muffler and exhaust inspection if you notice any of these symptoms. Our team of factory-trained Technicians with Red Seal certifications have the skills and equipment required to keep your diesel rigs in excellent shape.
