It only takes one pothole to damage your vehicle. Pot holes can really take a toll on your vehicle’s:  Suspension: When your vehicle drives over a pothole, your suspension system will absorb the initial shock. Each time your suspension system hits a pothole, it slowly begins to deteriorate. Over time, you might begin to notice that your vehicle isn’t absorbing potholes like it used, and you might be in for a bumpy ride!  Alignment: When there is something wrong with your vehicle’s alignment, you will notice vibrations, poor steering, or premature and irregular tire wear.  Tires: When you hit a pothole, you immediately think of your tires. Hitting a pothole can lead to uneven wear, tire damage, and even potentially bending a rim.  We know the road is scattered precariously w ... read more

Here is some friendly advice for new members of the diesel fan club: Light diesels tend to be passenger vehicles while heavy-duty diesels are 18-wheel tractor-trailers. If you haul a trailer, pay extra attention to transmission maintenance. The extra load puts a strain on the transmission system. Therefore, it is wise to check your transmission frequently if you are pulling a horse trailer, mobile home, camper, or another vehicle. Diesel engines require more filter maintenance because diesel fuel is not as clean and pure as gasoline. That is why you need to change your fuel filter more frequently, your air filters, and purge the water/fuel separator. Diesels are known for their power and ... read more
