Winter Truck Service Tips: Get Your Kenworth Ready

Share

When Alberta’s winter weather hits, your truck needs to be prepared for freezing temperatures, icy roads, and tough working conditions. Regular truck service before and during the winter season helps prevent costly breakdowns and keeps your Kenworth running safely and efficiently.

Here are a few key truck service steps to keep in mind this winter:

  • Battery Service: Cold weather reduces battery power. Test and replace weak batteries before temperatures drop too low.
  • Cooling System Check: Make sure your coolant levels and antifreeze ratios are correct, and inspect hoses for leaks or wear.
  • Fuel Additives: Use winter-grade fuel additives to prevent gelling, improve cold starts, and protect your fuel system.
  • Tires & Air Systems: Proper tire pressure and tread depth are critical. Drain air tanks daily to remove moisture and avoid frozen brake lines.
  • Lighting & Visibility: Inspect all lights and replace dim or burnt-out bulbs to stay visible in low-light conditions.
