Many people ask us “When should I get a tune-up?” The response they are expecting includes a date and time after so many miles or years but our response to this question is quite easy. There is no scheduled date to perform a tune–up. As long as your engine is performing normal or to your expectations there is no need for a tune-up.

Maintenance on a truck should be a major priority for a driver. The majority of individuals who handle trucks forget to do a maintenance overview of their engines. The valve lash and injector heights on a Detroit Diesel Series 60 diesel-fueled engine must be measured, and if necessary, adjusted after the first 60,000 miles or within the 24 month period, whichever may come first. Once the initial measurements and adjustments have been completed, any changes beyond this point should be made only as necessary to maintain the satisfaction of your engines performance.
