Remanufactured vs. Used Truck Parts: What’s the Difference?

Remanufacturing

When it’s time to replace a major component in your truck, cost is always a factor—but so is performance and reliability. That’s where the debate between remanufactured and used parts comes in. While both are alternatives to buying new, they’re not created equal.   What Are Used Parts? Used truck parts are exactly that—previously installed […]

Driveshaft Velocity

Driveshaft Velocity

Driveshaft Velocity refers to the speed at which the driveshaft rotates as it transfers power from the transmission to the differential and, ultimately, to the wheels of a vehicle. It plays a significant role in ensuring efficient power delivery and smooth operation. Maintaining proper driveshaft velocity minimizes vibrations, prevents premature wear, and ensures smooth, reliable […]

Measuring Driveline Operating Angles

Measuring Driveline Operating Angles

Accurately measuring driveline operating angles is critical in achieving optimal performance and durability. Proper alignment reduces vibration, prevents premature wear, and enhances overall efficiency. Measuring these angles ensures smooth power transfer from the transmission to the wheels, maintaining the longevity and reliability of critical driveline components. Explore our expert techniques, tools, and guidelines for accurately […]

Air System Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting the air systems on 8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 15, and 18-speed models is essential for maintaining smooth operation and preventing costly downtime. These transmissions rely on a precise air system to control shifting mechanisms, and understanding common problems—such as air leaks, low pressure, or component failures—can help identify solutions quickly. This Air System […]
