Commercial Truck Parts. You Name It, We Carry It

OEM stands for original equipment manufacturer. Aftermarket auto parts are parts made by third party companies based on OEM part designs.

OEMs build products based on designs provided to them from customers, while ODM manufacturers design some or all of the product themselves before manufacturing them for customers.

Vehicles are on the road longer, the supply chain and OEMs are still unable to produce the parts and equipment fleets need, and there's a shortage of qualified technicians available to do the work.

Water, salt, oil, and other contaminants attack and weaken the spring causing corrosion and ultimately, failure. Chambers should be replaced in pairs to keep good brake balance on the axle. Never mix and match long stroke and standard chambers—and check torque on mounting bolts.

Some of the causes of brake chamber explosions and defects can include the mechanical disablement of a spring brake or disconnection of the air line to the brake chamber.

Semi-truck brakes can last as long as 250,000 to 300,000 miles.

Squealing indicates that your brake pads are starting to wear thin. You might also notice an unusual amount of heat. You can wait a small amount to get your brake pads replaced after this, but don't wait too long. Grinding indicates that your brake pads are completely gone and you're driving with bare brakes.

In general, the cost of replacing or repairing a semi-truck's front axle can range anywhere from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands of dollars, or more, depending on the specific circumstances.

Truck seats come in standard and low-profile seats, which are defined by their suspension stroke and how high they sit without air. Standard seats sit at 14-17”, while low-profile seats typically sit at 12-15”. Each has a suspension stroke of 5-6”.

Repairing frame damage may require straightening and aligning the unibody structure, cutting out damaged sections, and replacing them with new OEM parts. These collision repair procedures must be performed exactly as manufacturers recommend, or you could end up with an unsafe vehicle and a costly mistake.

The specific lighting requirements may vary depending on your location and the type of vehicle. Commercial trucks and trailers generally require headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, clearance lights, and reflective tape.

To determine the type of blade fuses your vehicle uses, check your owner's manual for a fuse box diagram. A fuse box diagram will show you what kind of fuse goes into each slot and the exact amperage to use. If you are unable to locate a fuse box diagram, consult with your local auto mechanic.
