Spring Clean Your Truck



Spring has arrived! Here are a few products that we recommend to check out for your ideal spring-cleaning. Some are maintenance parts and some involve the over all safety of driving. Whatever the need it’s recommended to at least check to see if certain parts need to be replaced. 

It is not new that a truck needs a close eye on maintenance when the spring season comes along. Many aspects of a truck that need to be changed or upgraded regularly are often forgotten or just pushed off during the winter months. For example, a basic cabin air filter is one item on the truck that’s often not changed regularly. In this post we hope to explain some of the products that could need replacing as winter ends. 

We have found three items that are often in need of replacing as winter comes to an end. Cabin air filter, performance air filter and the suspension-leveling valve prove to be in need of attention as spring approaches.

The first item on our list is the cabin air filter. Do you have allergies? This is a simple and inexpensive fix that can improve the quality of the trucks cabin air. Cabin air mainly fixes the issue with fatigue and nasty odors in the cab.  Another benefit of replacing your cabin air filter is to remove pollen and dust from the cab. The cabin air filter will be beneficial to your health.

Second is the performance air filter. This filter is meant to increase the way your engine breathes. A filter, such as the performance air filter, will enhance your performance and at the same time the cleanliness of your engine. Every year your filter needs to be checked or replaced due to the road condition during winter months. This performance filter is a washable filter and is lifetime guarantee to last on your truck.

Finally, the suspension-leveling valve should always checked. Remember to keep an eye on this part as often times leveling valves can fail transitioning from cold to warmer climate. During the winter your driveline angle on your truck is the most important factors that if not angled properly will cause transmission differential and suspension issues. Checking your driveline angle (suspension valve) is key in making sure your truck is ready for the spring.

As mentioned above the transition from winter and spring can be a matter of health and safety. Taking care of small, inexpensive parts to improve your truck’s overall safety have a way of paying back for itself.
