What can be fixed on the side of the road

A lot of breakdowns end with the truck driving away, not on a hook. Here is what usually can and cannot be done where the truck sits.

Usually fixed on the spot

  • Tires: changing a flat or blown steer, drive or trailer tire
  • Air system: broken air lines, gladhand seals, leaking fittings, a stuck brake
  • No start: dead batteries, jump starts, battery cables, some starter problems
  • Fuel: gelled fuel in cold weather, clogged fuel filters, running out of fuel
  • Lights and wiring: trailer plugs, marker and brake lights, blown fuses
  • Belts and hoses when the part is on hand
  • Lockouts

Usually needs the shop

  • Internal engine or transmission failures
  • Major brake or suspension repairs that need the truck lifted
  • Aftertreatment work like a diesel particulate filter (DPF) cleaning

Those trucks are towed to the shop. See truck repair in Utica and truck towing.

What helps the mechanic bring the right parts

Tire size (printed on the sidewall), the truck make and engine, any dash codes, and a photo of the problem if it is safe to take one. You can attach details in the roadside request form.
