What good does a truck do if it will not start? This sounds obvious, a lack of maintenance can cause a vehicle not to start. Below are some components that can cause your vehicle not to start:
Weak or defective battery
Defective alternator
Broken belt (causes alternator not to charge the battery)
Very old spark plugs
Defective fuel pump
No fuel – this can happen if the fuel gauge is not reading correctly
How do we avoid these, or other issues that can cause our vehicle not to start, from ever happening? Emergencies are not always avoidable; paying attention to the warning signs can help keep your vehicle starting. Here are some signs to watch for:
Squealing belt
Slow crank when trying to start your vehicle
Battery light comes on (maybe intermittent or stay on)
Low, high or fluctuating idle
Make sure if you notice anything that
is not normal with your vehicle to have it checked out. Your vehicle
may show signs of an issue and, when ignored, you may end up in an
emergency. If you have any questions or your truck doesn’t start
