Winter is here. Are you road-ready?

Winter weather is here so make sure you’re up to date on your truck’s maintenance to keep it running smooth all season long. Check out these essential cold weather driving tips to ensure you continue to tackle winter conditions with confidence so you can stay safe and efficient on the road.

Check the Air Systems
Drain each air tank daily to prevent moisture and contaminants from accumulating. This ensures safer, more reliable braking performance during winter conditions.
Inspect Charging and Starting Components
Cold temperatures can strain your truck’s electrical systems. Check for loose cables, corroded connections, and worn belts to keep everything in good working order.
Replace Fuel Filters & Keep Air-Line Antifreeze on Hand
Make sure fuel filters are fresh and ready for the season. Keeping a bottle of air-line antifreeze ensures consistent fuel flow and prevents your air brake lines from freezing in the cold.
Install New Wiper Blades
Visibility is crucial, especially when rain, snow, or ice are in the forecast. Replace your wiper blades annually to maintain clear sightlines during winter weather.
Check Tire Chains
Inspect your tire chains to ensure they’re in good working order and fit properly. Being prepared for winter roads makes all the difference.
Keep a Charged Power Bank for Electronics
Stay connected even when you’re out in areas where power sources may be limited. A fully charged power bank can help keep your phone and electronics running.
