Freightliner Truck 108SD: Monthly Post-Trip Inspection and Maintenance

Use this complete monthly inspection and maintenance procedures to ensure that vehicle components are in good working condition before each trip.

    Brake Component Inspection

    Walk around the vehicle and visually the brake system components for visible damage.

    NOTE: Do not route air brake lines on top of anything likely to be stepped on.

    Saddle Tank Areas Inspection

    If the water drained from the air reservoirs is cloudy or oily, it may indicate a problem with the compressor. If oil is allowed to contaminate the air dryer, it will not remove the water from the air brake system, which could adversely affect braking.

    Inspect the batteries.

    Inspect the following aerodynamic components, if equipped, for structural damage, cracks, or wear.

    Engine Compartment Inspection and Adjustments

    Inspect the radiator and heater hoses, including the clamps and support brackets.

    Check the steering wheel for excessive play.

    Natural Gas Fuel System Inspection, If Equipped

    Leak test all fuel system components, joints, and fittings using a methane detector. A bubble solu- tion can be used to pinpoint the exact location of leaks.

    Drain the CNG high-pressure fuel filter housing, if equipped.
