Noticing these troubles could indicate that your commercial vehicle is overdue for a service visit. At Skaha Ford in BC, we specialize in medium-duty truck maintenance and repairs and can fix your exhaust difficulties to ensure lasting performance and reduce costly downtime.

Exhaust system failure displays itself in a variety of ways:

Rattling Noises: One of the first indications of an issue is a rattling or rumbling noise originating from the truck's rear. A loose muffler will put extra strain on exhaust parts, which can risk getting broken off when driving over bumps or rough roads.

Vibrations: Leaks in the exhaust system can create pulsations often felt in the gas pedal, steering wheel or driver's seat. These vibrations are not only bothersome, but they are a serious safety concern. When a leak occurs, dangerous gases enter the atmosphere, causing the truck to fail emission inspections.

Check Engine Light: An exhaust leak will also cause engine problems and illuminate the check engine light. If your medium-duty truck is also experiencing poor power delivery and weak acceleration, the exhaust system could be failing.

Poor Fuel Efficiency: When an engine does not receive enough oxygen or backed up fumes damage critical components in the fuel system, inadequate gas mileage is a sign of exhaust system issues.

Don't let a poorly functioning exhaust slow your commercial fleet down. Instead, contact Skaha Ford in BC to schedule your F-650 and F-750 medium-duty trucks in for service today.

This componentry is essential to dissipate heat from the engine through a radiator to ensure reliable performance. Don't delay – book your work trucks in for service with our experts at Skaha Ford in BC.

Improperly maintained cooling systems can cause equipment failure and engine issues, leading to extended periods of downtime. Problems with the coolant system can include:
  • Excessive corrosion
  • Liner cavitation
  • Engine failure
  • Head gasket malfunction
  • Water pump breakdowns
  • Radiator interruptions
By keeping up with your Ford medium-duty truck coolant system maintenance, you'll achieve better performance and extend the life of your commercial vehicle. When you schedule your F-650 or F-750 in for service, our Technicians will ensure that cooling system fluids are adequately topped up or cleaned and flushed if a change is required. We'll also inspect the radiator cap's seal and look for signs of leaks.

Trust Skaha Ford for all your medium-duty truck coolant system repairs and maintenance. Contact us to arrange your next service appointment today.

These conditions can harm your suspension system and make for a rough ride for your crew.

Here are some warning signs that your shocks and struts need to be inspected by our factory-trained Technicians at Skaha Ford in BC:

Decreased braking ability
When your shocks or struts are worn, your vehicle will bounce a lot more, making it harder to stop. Wear can also cause your truck to noise-dive, which increases stopping distances from lack of traction and is a severe safety concern.

Reduced control
Body roll while cornering is a symptom of damaged shocks and struts, characterized by a greater degree of tilt when the vehicle turns. Not only is this unsafe, but it makes for a ride quality that’s similar to a rollercoaster. 

Rough ride
A bounce test can tell you if your shocks and struts need replacing. To do so, push down on the front and rear ends of your car; if it moves up and down more than once or twice, your suspension needs an inspection.

Worn tires
A hallmark of worn shocks and struts are tires that wear out faster due to cupping. Cupping happens when your truck bounces up and down on the roads, leaving indented scuff marks on the tires and shortening their life span.

Increased hydroplaning 
Worn suspension parts can affect vehicle contact with the road, especially when wet. If you find yourself hydroplaning or skidding frequently, your shocks or struts could be due for servicing.

Don’t settle for a bumpy ride! At Skaha Ford in BC, our Technicians will inspect your vehicle’s suspension parts to ensure proper performance. Contact us today to book an appointment.
