One of the peculiarities in diesel engine emissions is the relationship between particulate matter and emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx). When one is high, the other is usually low, so repairing one tends to increase the other. As such, the most effective approach is restoring the engine to its factory settings and performance levels.
Pay attention to your trucks gauges, indicators, and warning lights. Ignoring them could spell big trouble and cause irreparable damage to the engine. When a light comes on, or a gauge indicates problems, have it addressed at the earliest possible time.
The cooling system in a semi-truck is more than the radiator and the hoses. It also consists of water jackets, water pumps, channels, fans, thermostats, charge air coolers, and temperature sensors; each part working in efficient harmony.
With diesel trucks, idling is not good for the engine, as it can score the cylinder block. This is not really a problem in the summer but during the winter should be avoided, as the colder temperatures cause less lubrication to be present, making piston walls more vulnerable.
Your semi-truck needs regular tune ups, oil changes, tire changes and computer diagnostics etc. for optimum performance on road. Regular maintenance eliminates the need of costly repair work.
