Automotive Industry News & Information - Sac Valley Diesel

When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years. But how long has diesel really been around, and why is it used the way it is today? Sac Valley Diesel in Sacramento, CA has the answers you need to become more in-tune with your diesel truck and engine.

Once your new tires are mounted and balanced, you’ll want to keep them in good shape. To get the most out of your tires, inspect them regularly and keep up with maintenance - the difference between a tire that lasts 100k miles, and one that lasts 10k, mostly comes down to how well it’s been taken care of.

What condition are your tires in? At Sac Valley Diesel in Sacramento, CA, we want to make sure you can tell. A simple visual inspection is all you need - it’s easy if you know what to look for.
