Maintaining the transmissions within your fleet trucks is a matter of changing your transmission fluid on a regular basis and ensuring your transmission cooler is in good shape. Most manufacturers recommend getting your transmission fluid changed once every 30 to 60 thousand miles, although that interval may change depending on what you use your truck for. If transmission fluid isn’t replaced regularly, it may break down and clog up your transmission cooler, which in turn causes your transmission to overheat.
Your axle housings are another assembly that must be maintained on a regular basis as they’re critical to a lot of your truck’s functionality. Within your axle housing, you’ll find both axle shafts and differential gears. They both share the same gear oil, which like most other lubricants, needs to be replaced once every 30 to 60 thousand miles. Keep an eye on your axle housings, for they’ve been known to leak from their axle seals and differential plates.
Your primary driveshaft is responsible for transferring power from your transmission to your first differential. From there, secondary driveshafts connect your secondary and tertiary differentials. In cases where multiple drive modes are available, trucks will likely have another primary driveshaft connecting their transfer case to their front differential. Maintaining your driveshaft is a matter of replacing bearings when necessary and ensuring U joints remain in good condition.
