A clear preventive-maintenance schedule keeps work trucks reliable and their resale value strong, and it is straightforward to build once you understand the intervals that matter.
Anchor on the fluids and filters
Oil and oil filter, fuel filters and water separators, and coolant service are the backbone of any PM schedule. Set intervals by duty cycle and stick to them.
Layer in inspections
Between fluid services, inspect belts, hoses, the cooling system, batteries, and the emissions system so small issues are caught early.
- Oil and filter by duty cycle
- Fuel filters and separator drains
- Coolant service to specification
- Regular inspection of belts, hoses, batteries, and emissions parts
Plan the big-ticket items
Forecast wear items like water pumps, turbochargers, and injectors by mileage and hours so major service is scheduled, not a surprise breakdown.
