What Does the Exhaust System Do?
Your truck or fleet vehicle’s exhaust system serves a variety of important functions. First and foremost, it removes harmful gases and fumes from the engine and removes them from the vehicle. While the first point may seem like a no-brainer, the system also serves another important function. It also helps reduce noise levels and improve fuel efficiency. By properly managing the flow of exhaust gases, the system can improve the performance of the engine and help the truck to operate more efficiently.
Signs of Trouble
Like any other mechanical system, the exhaust system on your truck or fleet vehicle is prone to wear and tear over time. There are several common issues that can arise, and it's important for truck owners and fleet managers to be aware of them so they can address problems as soon as possible.
One common issue is a leak in the exhaust system. Exhaust leaks can occur at any point in the system, from the manifold to the tailpipe. A leak can cause a variety of problems, including reduced fuel efficiency, increased engine noise, and increased emissions. It's important to address exhaust leaks as soon as possible to avoid further damage to the system. Other common issues with the exhaust system include broken or damaged mufflers, rust and corrosion, and a malfunctioning exhaust manifold.
