À propos de cet audio
Get ready for winter with a deep dive into the wheel-end issues that hit fleets the hardest when temperatures drop. In this episode, we break down why cold weather causes tire pressure loss, torque retention problems, mounting challenges, corrosion, vibration complaints, and TPMS alerts—and what fleets and shops can do to stay ahead of them.
We unpack the science behind cold-weather tire and metal behavior, why bead seating becomes tougher in freezing temperatures, and how improper stud and hub preparation can lead to wheel-off risks. You’ll also learn how to tell the difference between cold flat-spotting and true wheel-end imbalance, plus where adaptive balancing solutions like EQUAL FLEXX play a critical role in winter performance.
From real-world failures to must-do maintenance adjustments, this episode delivers practical, shop-ready insights that keep trucks safer and more consistent all winter long.
