Spot Truck Exhaust System Repair Service in Twin City, GA

Common Exhaust Problems

Over time, your spot truck’s exhaust system will be exposed to heat, vibrations, and adverse weather and road conditions that can cause a range of problems. Some of the most common include: 

Exhaust Leaks

Cracks, holes, or loose connections in the exhaust system are the result of normal wear and tear as well as environmental factors. 

DPF Issues 

Problems such as clogging, overheating, or failure of the Diesel Particulate Filter can occur after prolonged use.

SCR Converter Issues 

Again, clogging, overheating, and failure can all occur and hamper SCR performance.

Muffler Malfunctions 

A damaged or malfunctioning muffler can result in excessive noise, which could violate noise pollution regulations.

Exhaust Pipe Corrosion

Exposure to corrosive weather and environmental situations can cause rust and corrosion in the exhaust pipes, leading to weak spots, holes, or pipe failures.

If you suspect that your spot truck may be suffering from one or more of these problems, visit our team at Webb Brothers Services, 3728 Highway 80, Twin City, GA, 30471, for a prompt diagnosis and resolution.

Signs of Exhaust Failure

Being able to recognize the signs of exhaust failure is not only essential for the performance of your spot truck but, in some cases, can be the difference between life and death. Be aware of:

• Loud rumbling or hissing sounds coming from the engine or exhaust
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Strong exhaust smells inside or outside the truck cabin 
• Engine performance issues such as reduced power, hesitation, or misfiring
• The visible presence of smoke, soot, or black residue around the exhaust pipe 

As mentioned, exhaust failure can cause expensive repairs to be required on your spot truck, but it can also have much more severe consequences. If exhaust fumes enter the cabin, it can cause the driver to pass out at the wheel, increasing the risk of an accident. Long-term exposure to these emissions can also cause cancer. 

If you notice any of these signs in your truck, then it requires immediate attention from our staff at Webb Brothers Services, 3728 Highway 80, Twin City, GA, 30471.
