About Our Driveline Services for Trucks & Fleets
The transfer of torque from the truck's transmission to the axle and wheels, a process managed by the driveline components, is essential for propelling the vehicle forward. However, this task isn't without its challenges. As the truck navigates varying speeds and angles, especially during turns, the driveline components endure significant stress.
Consider this: When you make a turn, the outside wheels travel a greater distance than the inside wheels due to the larger circumference of the arc they follow. While this difference may seem minor in isolation, the cumulative effect can be substantial, especially over time and distance. If not properly managed, this disparity in wheel rotation can lead to premature wear and tear on driveline components, potentially resulting in costly repairs and vehicle downtime.
To mitigate this issue, driveline components incorporate sophisticated mechanisms designed to accommodate the dynamic demands of truck operation. Differential gears, for example, allow the wheels to rotate at different speeds while maintaining torque distribution, ensuring smooth and efficient power delivery to the wheels, even during turns. Additionally, driveline components are engineered to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty use, with robust materials and construction that enhance durability and longevity.
However, despite their resilience, driveline components are not invulnerable to wear and fatigue. Regular inspection and maintenance are essential to detect any signs of stress or damage early on, allowing for timely repairs or replacements to prevent more significant issues down the line. By staying proactive and attentive to the health of your truck's driveline system, you can ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and longevity for your vehicle.
Benefits of Quality Driveline Repair Services
Your differential makes up for this difference by mechanically transferring torque through a set of gears that keeps the engine and transmission load steady regardless of how sharp your truck turns. Unfortunately, the extreme loads placed on your differential can lead to excess heat and wear.
The differential is coated with thick gear oil to reduce friction and wear and protect it from damage. Typically, differential fluid is changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but if you are hauling heavy loads or diving in stop-and-go traffic, we recommend more frequent service.
