Taking care of your driveline is just as important as engine maintenance and oil & fluid changes. Starting with your differential and ending with your axle shafts, EIP Diesel Repair in Fontana, California will repair every driveline component in your medium- or heavy-duty diesel truck.
Why Is My Driveline Important?
The driveline is the system that transfers power from the transmission to the differential and then to the wheels. When the driver presses the accelerator, the power from the engine is converted into torque by the transmission. This torque is then sent to the differential through the driveshaft, which splits the power between the wheels.
Whenever you turn your truck, the outside wheels travel a greater distance than the inside wheels. The differential is what allows for this compensation in distance through its set of gears transferring torque manually to each wheel. Having an issue with your truck's driveline, or more specifically, its differential, could cause it to overheat and damage other components.
Common Symptoms of Driveline Failure
Some common symptoms of driveline problems that you should be aware of include vibrations, clunking or knocking sounds, difficulty shifting gears, leaking fluid, and excessive wear. Ignoring these symptoms can lead to further damage, especially with the differential being under constant stress from the engine’s power. At EIP Diesel Repair, our qualified technicians offer extensive driveline repair services, including replacing worn-out components, repairing or replacing damaged seals, and replacing the entire driveshaft.
Differential Repair
The differential is regularly exposed to friction and heat. Without proper maintenance, it can suffer from wear and tear, causing issues such as leaks, premature tire wear, screeching tires, and uneven power distribution. That’s why at EIP Diesel Repair, we provide differential maintenance and repair services, including checking and replacing the differential's gear oil every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, inspecting the gears and bearings for any signs of wear or damage, and replacing worn-out components.
