However, body corrosion is an often overlooked issue that can prematurely put a fleet vehicle out of service for good.

Salts and chemicals are common causes of rust that will corrode a truck’s body as time goes on. To prevent rust and extend the life of your fleet, here are four maintenance tips from our Technicians at Skaha Ford in BC:

1. Address Paint Chips: Chips in the exterior paint – even small ones – need to be fixed immediately before rust starts to set in.

2. Wash Regularly: Wash commercial trucks once a week to prevent contaminants from damaging the clear coat, paint, primer and bare metal. Wash more frequently in the winter to remove road salt, which can erode the chassis.

3. Lubricate: Regularly spray door locks with a lubricant to protect them from moisture, especially in cold weather.

4. Avoid Puddles: Puddles collect contaminants and abrasive dirt and grime that can oxidize a truck’s exterior, including the paint and undercarriage.

Keep your medium duty truck looking and performing its best with commercial fleet repairs and maintenance from our team at Skaha Ford in BC. To learn more, contact us today.

Schedule your Super Duty, F-650 or F-750 in for service at Skaha Ford in BC to keep your fleet running its best during the harsh weather conditions.

Here are other tips to maximize your medium-duty truck’s uptime with proper engine care:

1. Avoid Idling
Keep your Ford running at highway speeds in extreme temperatures to reach the required temperature threshold for regeneration and diesel engine fluid cycling processes.

2. Plug-in the Block Heater
At the end of the workday, plug in the block heater to maintain the engine’s temperature on cold nights.

3. Avoid Cold Soaks
Cold soaks occur when engine fluids and the steel of the engine block experience low temperatures. Don’t let medium-duty trucks sit for more than 24 hours.

4. Make Smart Fuel Choices
Always use correctly blended fuel and winter weight fuel when driving in cold climates. Consider using any recommended additives to ensure performance.

Don’t let engine troubles slow your commercial fleet. Bring your medium-duty trucks to Skaha Ford in BC for preventative maintenance, inspections and repairs. Call us to book your appointment today.
