Specialty urban rigs and heavy vocational trucks face tight turns, weight, and constant braking. We inspect pins, bushings, torque rods, suspension hardware, driveline angles, and u-joints to catch looseness before it becomes failure. If we see heat marks, cracks, or fluid traces, you get photo proof and a recommendation so you choose timing without losing a day.
Electrical and cooling systems suffer in traffic. We load-test batteries, clean terminals, validate grounds, and check voltage drop under accessory load. We validate that cooling holds under stress. This prevents derates, protects aftertreatment, and keeps engines healthy.
