The Most Commonly Replaced Truck Parts

Your truck is a dependable workhorse that helps you to complete your jobs efficiently. But just like anything else with moving parts, there will be occasions when you need to replace broken or worn-down truck parts to ensure that your vehicle operates correctly. Here are some of the most commonly replaced truck parts so that you know what you need to keep in stock for making expedient repairs.

Brake Pads

A big truck that carries heavy loads is going to do a number on its brake pads, and having good brakes is crucial to the safety of you and everyone around you on the highway. The brake pads on a large truck will likely need replacing every three to five years. If you drive carefully and make slow, measured stops, this can help reduce wear and tear on your brake pads.

Mirrors

The rearview mirrors on your truck can take a beating on the road. They might be sideswiped in a parking lot by a careless driver or they could become scratched up by debris and pebbles on the road. Make sure that your mirrors are in good condition and clean, and replace them when the glass is broken or scratched up which reduces your visibility.

Tires

After thousands of miles of hard driving with a heavy payload, your truck tires will be worse for wear. Make frequent inspections of your tires to ensure that they have sufficient tread depth and that they aren’t damaged in any way. Changing tires before departure is better than trying to drive on worn tires and experiencing a flat or a blowout. Make sure you have a few spares on hand.
