This system eases parking maneuvers and low-speed driving, which can be challenging in heavy vehicles. Without proper maintenance, power steering components can wear out over time and impact handling.

If you suspect your medium-duty truck has a powering steering issue, follow these tips from our Technicians at Skaha Ford’s Service Department to diagnose the problem:

 
Check the power steering fluid level: A lack of fluid will make it harder to complete turns. Regularly topping up the power steering fluid could indicate a leak.

Inspect the hoses and lines: The power steering system has a pump with several seals and hoses. If there are leaks or breaks in the seals, performance will decline.

Check for loose belts: A loud, screeching sound is a tell-tale sign of a loose belt in the power steering system. To detect this issue, ignite the engine and turn the steering wheel.

Unaddressed power steering troubles impact your Ford’s handling and your safety on BC’s roads. If you have concerns about your vehicle, contact our team to book a maintenance appointment. Our factory-trained Technicians will give your medium-duty truck the attention your commercial fleet deserves.

Not only do they power the starting system, but batteries also supply energy to all electrical components. Following a solid preventive maintenance program is one of the best ways to identify problems before they lead to no-start situations or battery-related breakdowns. This winter, allow our Ford medium-duty truck experts to keep your F-450, F-550, F-650 or F-750 in peak operating condition.

Here are seven cold-weather battery tips for fleet managers to consider:

 
1. Stay protected: Park trucks in an enclosed area away from the wind, which rapidly draws heat by convection.

2. Keep warm: Use a block heater to keep the engine warm and reduce the starter's workload.

3. Check connections: Keep terminal connections clean and tight to minimize electrical resistance.

4. Disconnect extra loads: When leaving the engine off for a lengthy period, disconnect any electrical devices that draw power from the battery.

5. Stay charged: Always keep the battery in a fully charged state to maximize its longevity.

6. Replace ageing batteries: Replace batteries when they cannot hold a charge or are causing no-start situations.  

7. Get tested: Detect problems before they happen by having your batteries tested and inspected regularly.

Don’t let battery issues hamper your commercial fleet. Bring your medium-duty trucks to Skaha Ford in BC for regular inspections and replacements. Call us to book your appointment today.
