Fleet Maintenance Tips
Indiana Winter Diesel Truck Maintenance Checklist
Prepare diesel trucks in Indiana for winter with a practical maintenance checklist that reduces no-starts and roadside calls.

Cold starts, gelled fuel, and weak batteries are common winter problems. A little prep before the temperature drops can prevent a lot of calls later.
Key Winter Maintenance Items
- Test and replace weak batteries
- Inspect block heaters and cords
- Use proper winter fuel blends or additives
- Check coolant strength and levels
- Inspect wipers, washers, and defrosters
