Better Truck Performance Starts with 4 Easy Steps

Do you want to keep your truck running and performing at its best for decades to come? Start with these four steps:

1. Make Scheduled Maintenance a Top Priority: You have a fantastic weapon in your arsenal. It’s your owner’s manual. Few of us read them, but all of us would benefit from the plethora of information at our fingertips. This handy book or online PDF gives you the maintenance schedule you should utilize. The makers put a ton of research into creating your ride, and they know what your engine or other components need to make it run smoothly for years to come. So, take an interest in your manual and get ahead of the curve for potential issues later.
2. Choose Synthetic Motor Oil: Before making the switch in oils, double-check your owner’s manual for recommendations. If all seems well, then consider the benefits of switching to synthetic motor oil for reducing the wear on your engine parts, increase your fuel mileage, and give you extra support in extreme temperatures. If you do a lot of towing, live in a very hot or cold environment, drive in a lot of heavy traffic, or have a ton of miles on your truck, you may want to seriously consider synthetic oil.
3. Pay Attention to Your Tires: Without quality tires, your Ford truck is not going to serve you as well as it should. It would help if you had the right tires for the driving you do. Consider how you use your vehicle. Do you drive on city roads or on backcountry roads? Are you often driving on dirt tracks and in the fields? Do you go four-wheeling on the weekends? Once you decide how your tires are used, then pick a set that meets that need. Also, remember to have them rotated regularly and keep them appropriately inflated.
   
4. Pick Out Accessories that Fit Your Needs: We all like a decked-out ride, but customization means nothing if it doesn’t work for you. Look for ways to protect your truck while giving you more space and better utilization. Here are some examples of accessories to consider:

• Bed Liners – Protect your truck bed from dings, scratches, dents, and rust with the different types of liners like mats, coatings, sprays.
• Locking Toolbox –This accessory is incredibly helpful to give you a secure place to lock up your valuables. 
• Full-Sized Spare – Replace your donut with a full-sized spare tire and save time when you get a flat.
• Are you looking to improve the Duramax Diesel performance parts? Feral Diesel offers all of the diesel performance components that you will need to achieve peak performance.
