At Ontario Mobile Truck Service, we are all about heavy-duty truck maintenance and repair. Among these crucial cogs in the wheel is your drivetrain. This power-packed system, including the transmission, drive shaft, differential, and axles, acts as the bridge between your engine and tires.
Signs For Drivetrain Maintenance
First off, let's talk about red flags. You might have drivetrain issues if you are experiencing unexplained vibrations, strange noises, or your truck hesitates while trying to accelerate. Our adept technicians can inspect your fleet trucks for such symptoms in your driveline, like the axles and bearings, to ensure that it operates in peak condition. Here are common issues:
Axles
- Overheating
- Unusual performance hiccups
- Audible disturbances like grinding or clunking
Bearing Repairs
- Overheating, often due to poor lubrication or excessive temperatures
- Wheel wobble or play
- Scraping or grinding noises
- Visible grease leakage
Differentials
Imagine a bar with wheels at each end. The differential system is placed right in the center of that bar, a marvel of engineering that decides how much power each wheel gets. Through a layered set of gears, the differential sends power from the engine via the drive shaft, letting one wheel hog all the power. Power moves with the path of least resistance. Without this critical component, if one wheel stopped, the other would throw in the towel, too.
Differential Issues
Differentials are sturdy, but they are not invincible. They face a constant battle against road conditions and time itself. That translates to wear and tear. And let’s not forget the importance of differential fluids. Keep your
What Does a Damaged Drive Shaft Sound Like?
Damaged drive shafts will make loud clunking sounds. These noises occur due to worn-out u-joints. Your drive shaft will not rotate properly with a faulty u-joint. If the U-joint lacks lubrication, it will squeak even when you drive slowly.
