DJ McQueen told us, \u201clast night I serviced 10 trucks; there were at least 4 different types.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOME TRUCKS ARE EASY TO SERVICE<\/strong><br \/>\nEveryone has a different opinion on which trucks are the easiest to service, but they are all in agreement on one thing: the fewer filters, the less trouble.<\/p>\n<p>DJ decided that the easiest truck to service is the 2016 Ford because they are very simple and fewer filters and less grease fittings to change.<\/p>\n<p>Daniel says that the easiest truck for him to service is the new international 2-wheel trucks because filters are easy to access and there isn\u2019t much oil. TJ Morris went with the gasoline Chevy 3500 without many parts and no grease filling.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AND THERE ARE CHALLENGING TRUCKS<\/strong><br \/>\nComplicated to service trucks provide great challenges.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re like DJ, though, who really loves a challenge, you might be more interested in the more complicated trucks. He says his most challenging is the Ford F500 series due to all the wires almost hiding the filters.<\/p>\n<p>Tough to service this truck which is classified as a 6&#215;6.<br \/>\nAccording to Daniel, any 6\u00d76 truck is challenging because \u201cthey are big and people drive them places where trucks shouldn\u2019t go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>TJ says that the most challenging truck is a 6\u00d76 with rock drill because of their double axels, which cause mechanics to spend extra time working on them.<\/p>\n<p>Josh Cable from Body Shop Business says, \u201cYou have to be a plumber, an electrician, a fabricator, a painter and a body guy, because there\u2019s plumbing and wiring in these big trucks. It\u2019s like working on a motor home. So you kind of have to be everything.\u201d DJ says \u201cdon\u2019t forget about being a computer tech, too.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>DJ\u2019s true favorite engine, though, he attributes to his heritage. His dad and grandpa were both Ford guys. He would love to rebuild a Ford F550 6.7 liter engine Diesel sometime soon.<\/p>\n<p>No matter what kind of truck you prefer to service, you will find a wide variety here at On The Road Truck Repair.<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check out our career page to learn about current opportunities to join us!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WE HAVE OUR FAVORITES, TOO!
