I’ve been working on a few older diesel rigs lately, and I can’t stress enough how crucial routine maintenance is. Simple things like changing the fuel filters regularly can prevent a lot of issues down the line. Have any of you come across any unexpected quirks with maintenance that you’d like to share?
Routine maintenance is like brushing your teeth; ignore it, and you’ll regret it later. I’ve found that checking the oil levels regularly saves a ton of headaches compared to waiting for an oil pressure warning. Have you had any fun surprises when changing filters, or is it mostly straightforward for you?
It’s like keeping your car’s teeth clean; if you skip the flossing, those cavities can sneak up on you! I’ve also found that checking and cleaning the injectors can make a huge difference in performance. @harper84, have you had any stubborn injector issues with your older rigs?
