Your drive belts run everything - your AC, power steering, alternator, and water pump are all dependent on the belts that turn them. At Flagstaff Transmission Specialists in Flagstaff, AZ, our goal is to keep your truck maintained, so you’re never stuck out on the road. Drive belts are a critical part of that goal.

The turbo on your diesel pickup is a precision-engineered component. As a result, proper maintenance is essential to keeping it going strong. At tens or even hundreds of thousands of RPM, keeping everything in good shape is absolutely necessary.

At Flagstaff Transmission Specialists in Flagstaff, we understand that safety and driving comfort are largely dependent on truck maintenance. Driving in the rain can be a hassle, especially if your vehicle isn’t prepared.

Essentially, there are a few things you can do to ease the burden of driving in the rain. Keep good quality windshield wipers installed, maintain a clean windshield, and regularly coat your windshield with Rain-X or comparable water-resistant chemicals. If applied properly, water-resistant coatings will dramatically increase visibility on rainy days. Quality windshield wipers, in good condition, are equally effective.

If your wipers don’t completely wipe away water with each pass, get them replaced. Driving in the rain is hard enough; inadequate equipment to deal with the situation only makes it that much more difficult. A clean windshield also goes a long way...rain won’t wash off the dirt that has had adequate time to adhere to your glass.

If you need new wipers, bring your truck to Flagstaff Transmission Specialists and let one of our experienced technicians get you fixed up. No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our team has you covered.
