What Happens if You Don't Replace DPF Filter?

The Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) plays a crucial role in reducing emissions from your diesel engine. Failing to replace a clogged or damaged DPF can lead to reduced engine performance, increased fuel consumption, and potential damage to the engine. 

It can also result in non-compliance with emissions regulations, which could lead to fines or penalties. Our experts can assess the condition of your DPF and provide the necessary maintenance or replacement to keep your truck running efficiently and legally.

How Often Does a Truck Need Coolant?

Proper cooling system maintenance is vital for your truck's longevity. It's recommended to check and replace the coolant every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but this can vary depending on your truck's make and model. 

Regular checks ensure that your engine runs at the right temperature, preventing overheating and potential engine damage. Our team can help you establish the best maintenance schedule for your specific vehicle.
