FAQs

What Is The Difference Between Rebuild And Overhaul?

A rebuild involves disassembling the engine and replacing worn or damaged parts to restore it to like-new condition. An overhaul is similar but may include fewer replaced parts, focusing on restoring function rather than appearance. Rebuilds tend to be more comprehensive.

Is It Worth Doing An Engine Overhaul?

An engine overhaul can be worth it if the truck's body and major systems are still in good shape. It often costs less than replacing the entire engine or buying a new vehicle. Overhauling can also extend the engine's life by several years.

Which Suspension Is Most Comfortable?

Air suspension typically offers the most comfortable ride, especially on long hauls or rough roads. It adjusts to load and road conditions in real time, reducing vibration. This system also helps keep cargo safer and reduces driver fatigue.

Can Brakes Fail Without Warning?

Yes, brakes can fail without clear warning if components wear out faster than expected or if there's a sudden issue like a line rupture. However, regular inspections and maintenance greatly reduce the risk of unexpected failure. Warning signs are often subtle at first.

Is Replacing Suspension Worth It?

Replacing suspension is worth it if your truck shows signs of poor handling, uneven tire wear, or excessive bouncing. A new suspension improves ride quality, safety, and load stability. It also helps prevent further damage to other components caused by rough rides.
