Spring Truck Maintenance: Prepare for Warmer Weather

by twilliams

As the seasons change, it’s the perfect time to give your truck a thorough inspection. Whether recovering from a bitter-cold winter or preparing for a brutally hot summer, being proactive with preventative maintenance keeps your truck road ready and helps you avoid unnecessary component breakdowns. 

Spring is the perfect time to address wear and tear from winter conditions and prepare for warmer weather. Our guide focuses on some key maintenance areas to keep your semi and dump trucks running their best out of winter and into spring.

Spring Truck Maintenance

1. Replace Your Air Filter

Spring air brings pollen, dust, and other debris that can clog your air filter. Replace your air filter with an OEM-approved filter to ensure better airflow. Double-check that the housing is tightly secured and clean. A loose, pinched, or improperly fitted air filter can allow dirt and contaminants to enter the engine, which can lead to performance issues, or worse, engine failure. A simple filter replacement can save you hundreds of dollars in maintenance.

2. Service Your Air Dryer and Air Tanks

Your truck’s air system is important for braking and other essential functions. If you have a Paccar or Eaton automated transmission, we recommend replacing your Air Dryer Cartridge with a Bendix oil-coalescing cartridge. These cartridges remove moisture and oil contaminants that can deteriorate system performance over time. Even with an automatic Allison transmission, using a high-quality oil coalescing cartridge can extend the life of your transmission.

Additionally, make it a habit to manually drain your air tanks on a regular basis. The demands on the air systems are much higher than they used to be. If you drive a line-haul truck, we recommend changing your air dryer cartridge at least every six months. For tri-axle trucks and more severe duty applications, replacements should be done at least three times a year.

3. Exhaust System Inspection

Winter conditions can take a toll on your exhaust system, especially extreme temperatures and harsh road conditions. Now that spring is here, it is the perfect time for a detailed inspection. It can be easy to miss a small problem that can become a larger bill later.

Here are some important questions to consider when completing your pre-trip inspection: Is there a leak at the exhaust manifold? How old is your coolant filter? When was the last time you had your coolant system tested for leaks? Any new oil leaks? How are your batteries? Are the connections full of corrosion? Any lights out that you haven’t noticed? How bad are your brakes?

4. Get a DOT Inspection at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth

A Federal DOT inspection is a great way to get your truck road-ready. At a trusted local dealer, like Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth, our service experts cover all of the safety-related components like brakes, lights, suspension, exhaust system, tires and wheels, plus more. Our team can recommend maintenance services based on your duty cycle, helping you stay compliant and avoid any unexpected breakdowns. Explore the details of a full DOT inspection with this comprehensive list.

Spring Maintenance Pays Off

Remember: Proactive maintenance is the best way to avoid downtime. Paying up front for preventative maintenance is far less expensive than major repairs. After all, filters are cheaper than engines.

Now is the time to tackle your truck’s Spring maintenance list! Take care of your truck with parts and service at Coopersburg & Liberty Kenworth.

Kenworth announced it will end production of their legacy 1.9 meter cab Class 8 trucks in 2026. The discontinued models include the Kenworth W900 (W900L and W900B), T800W (wide hood), and the C500. Their decision stems from the “evolving emissions regulations and component constraints as the industry moves forward with new, more efficient, and better integrated technologies and products.” (Source)

Kevin Haywood, Kenworth’s assistant general manager for sales and marketing, acknowledged the significance of these models. “We know these legacy Kenworth models are an integral part of our history here at Kenworth,” Kevin stated. “…which makes this decision a difficult but necessary one as we enter the next era of trucking. As we transition to future products, we remain committed to honoring the spirit of these iconic trucks by delivering innovation, efficiency, and the same level of craftsmanship that our customers and drivers have trusted for generations.”

Kenworth remains committed to supporting dealers and customers through this transition. As production phases out, customers are encouraged to reach out to our sales team. As always, experts are on hand to assist with final order placements or to provide details on the transition timeline.

As part of Kenworth’s W900 series, the W900L is known for its excellence. The extended hood is a timeless classic in American semi-truck designs. The signature Kenworth logo, positioned just behind the fenders, highlights the W900L’s status as one of the longest long-nosed conventionals in the industry.

The W900L

Endless customization options make this type of Kenworth a favorite for drivers who take pride in their truck’s appearance. Popular upgrades including custom paint jobs, chrome accents, dual chrome exhaust stacks, and more, elevate its curb appeal. Polished aluminum wheels, custom marker lights, and aerodynamic features can further enhance its style and efficiency.

Inside, the W900L offers plenty of options to make off-time as comfortable as possible. Choices vary from basic fabric to premium leather seats (with optional heating and ventilation), to simple or ambient LED lighting to match your vibe. Add a deluxe infotainment system with GPS, Bluetooth, and all the connectivity features. And for those long-haul nights, single or double bunks, privacy curtains, and climate controls make it easy to create a “home” on the road that’s as practical or luxurious as you like.

Powered by Paccar or Cummins engines, the W900L delivers exceptional power and performance. Its powertrain is supported by advanced transmission options including manual, automated, or automatic configurations, ensuring control and adaptability for any condition. Additionally, it’s equipped with dual fuel tanks that extend the truck’s range during long-hauls. The heavy-duty axles and frame construction provides stability, making it a reliable choice for transporting heavy cargo including flatbeds, tankers, and oversized freight.

Each truck in the 100-year Anniversary series features a serialized badge that identifies its place in the production line, making it one of the most unique of any Kenworth limited edition trucks.
