As your vehicle ages, it not only gains sentimental value but a number of maintenance measures arise as well. Trucks from previous decades have the potential to keep their value and functionality for many years. Here are some tips from Ekart Automotive to keep your older truck running for a prolonged time.

First things first, it’s crucial to prioritize the main systems in the vehicle including brakes and steering systems. This will make sure the main components are in check so you can then check other systems and parts of the truck. After ensuring that the main systems are in check, keep an eye on other parts of the vehicle including the engine, transmission, hoses, fuel lines, etc.

Keeping the main systems and parts of your vehicles finely tuned is the most integral part of making sure your truck lasts a long time. Besides the aforementioned maintenance, you must also maintain the truck through oil changes, tire rotations, replacing spark plugs and coolant, checking tire pressure, and more. Older vehicles require more attention than newer ones so it’s important to monitor your vehicle closely in order to maintain it in the correct manner.
