But like all main components on a vehicle, this system benefits from preventative maintenance from our service experts at Skaha Ford in BC.

When trucks age, parts loosen, hoses crack, and seals wear out. Normal wear and tear on other components in the steering system, such as ball joints, drag links and kingpins, impact how a vehicle handles. Regular visual inspections of these components can identify issues before they affect how a truck performs while also avoiding long periods of downtime.

Regular inspections should include the steering reservoir and fluid levels, including checking the hoses for cracks or seepages. If steering fluid leaks, air can get into the system, leading to cavitation of the pump. Drivers may also notice a whining sound from the pump, and the steering wheel may vibrate or chatter when driving. 

Don’t let your commercial fleet succumb to steering system troubles. Instead, book an inspection with our service experts at Skaha Ford in BC to keep your medium-duty trucks performing their best.

If your medium-duty truck is returning poor economy or your fleet is crippled with expensive trips to the pumps, schedule your commercial vehicle for service at Skaha Ford in BC.

Here are three fuel-saving medium-duty truck maintenance tips to help you achieve optimal efficiency from your F-650 or F-750:

Climate Control: Using the air conditioning compressor accounts for nearly half of your rig's engine cooling fan operating time. If the compressor is not delivering peak performance, more engine power will be required to run the climate control system, which increases fuel consumption.

Tire Inflation: Underinflated tires have a negative impact on your truck's economy. Ensuring your F-650 or F-750 tires are appropriately inflated with the correct PSI will significantly improve efficiency and safety.

Lubricants: Engine, transmission and axle fluids with the proper viscosity support better fuel economy. Using lubricants with disproportionate thickness increase the amount of energy required to pump oil through the lubricating system, resulting in internal viscous friction loss and poor efficiency.

Good fuel economy starts and ends with regular maintenance. Discover relief at the pumps this spring by booking your medium-duty commercial fleet for service with our experts at Skaha Ford in BC.
