diesel truck

If you drive a Duramax, Powerstroke, or Cummins diesel, you’ve got a truck that’s built for power and reliability. From our team here at Elite Automotive LLC in Covington, KY, here are the keys to unlocking the secret of a finely tuned diesel pickup.

Regularly scheduled maintenance is the most important aspect of keeping your truck reliably on the road and running strong.

Oil changes at regular intervals are probably the most important bit of maintenance you can do. A little contamination can wreak a lot of havoc on your engine.

Getting work like brake jobs done before the problem gets worse or having a check engine light looked into before it turns into a real problem, will keep your truck in great shape and your wallet happy.

Wash your truck regularly to keep corrosion and rust at bay; mud, salt, and dirt accelerate the corrosion of parts and body panels dramatically. Trucks get dirty, that’s what they’re here for. Hose it down every once in a while, and keep it looking and working like new.

Regular maintenance doesn’t sound that exciting, but it’s truly the most important thing you can do for your diesel. Follow these steps, and you can rest assured for many miles to come.
