In the perpetual heat of the Phoenix sun, our used trucks do a good job of handling the dust and heat, but in the sweltering summer months, it's always a good idea to get your truck checked out for top performance. Here's a few items to pay attention to during the hottest months:
1. Air conditioning: To beat the heat, have a qualified technician make sure your system is at top function. If you notice there's something up with your climate control, you could need a new cabin air filter.
2. Avoid overheating! Your cooling system should be flushed and refilled about every 24 months, so it's important to make sure you have good coolant levels to avoid summer breakdowns.
3. Check engine performance. In dusty conditions, it's important to replace filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) more often, and can affect your driving experience.
For these items, it might be time to get your truck serviced, but there's also a few things you can do yourself to prevent heat damage:
Summer is also time to soak up the sun. If you're looking to amp up the performance of your truck with a new set of tires or a lift, visit our Lift Shop here at our 2021 E. Bell Rd., Phoenix, AZ location.
