FAQ's

Welcome to Zero Time Truck LLC's FAQ section!

Is Upgrading Truck Suspension Worth It?

Upgrading your truck suspension can significantly improve ride quality, handling, and safety, especially for heavy-duty applications. It's worth it for those seeking enhanced performance and comfort under various load and road conditions, ensuring your fleet can tackle more challenging tasks with increased efficiency and reduced wear on vehicle components.

What Happens If HVAC Fails?

If the HVAC system fails, it can lead to driver discomfort, decreased air quality, and potentially impact electronic components within the cabin due to temperature and humidity fluctuations. Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent such failures, ensuring a comfortable and safe environment for drivers over long hauls.

How Long Does It Take To Fix An Exhaust?

Fixing an exhaust system can take anywhere from 1 to 3 hours, depending on the extent of the damage and the specific repairs needed. Simple issues like replacing a section of the exhaust pipe are quicker, while more complex problems requiring multiple part replacements may take longer.

Do Diesel Engines Need To Warm Up?

Yes, diesel engines benefit from warming up for a few minutes before driving, especially in cold weather. This practice helps lubricate the engine components more effectively, ensuring smoother operation and reducing the wear and tear associated with cold starts, ultimately extending the engine's lifespan.

How Much Horsepower Does An EGR Delete Add?

An EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) delete can potentially increase horsepower slightly by improving the efficiency of the engine's combustion process. However, the primary benefit is often improved fuel economy and reduced engine temperature, rather than a significant boost in horsepower.

Can I Tune My Truck Myself?

While it's possible to tune your truck yourself with the right tools and knowledge, it's recommended to have it done by a professional. Proper tuning requires understanding the truck's engine management system and can significantly affect your vehicle's performance and longevity. Incorrect tuning can lead to engine damage.

What Kind Of Battery Does My Truck Need?

The type of battery your truck needs depends on its electrical demands. Heavy-duty trucks typically require batteries with high cold cranking amps (CCA) to ensure reliable starting in various conditions, along with sufficient reserve capacity to power electronics. Always consult your vehicle's specifications to choose the appropriate battery.

How Do I Know If My Driveline Is Vibrating?

Driveline vibration is often noticed as a consistent shaking or rumbling feeling that increases with vehicle speed. It can indicate misalignment, worn components, or imbalance in the driveline assembly. Identifying and addressing driveline vibrations early can prevent further damage to the vehicle's transmission and suspension systems.

"I was stranded on the side of the road and they came out right away and got me running when the previous mechanic came and left leaving me unrepaired. So now a couple of weeks went by and I drove 2 hours in a direction I don't normally go to take it to the shop and he boosted my horsepower from about 400 something to 575 horsepower. Very happy. Thankful."
