FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

• Why does my Terex truck stall while driving?

  Your Terex truck can stall due to fuel issues, especially a lack of fuel or a clogged fuel filter. Ignition issues, such as a faulty spark plug or a distributor cap, can also lead to stalling. A dirty air filter can restrict air intake and cause your Terex truck to stall. Clutch issues on manual transmission trucks, faulty throttle position sensors, or problems with a truck's engine control module (ECM) can also cause a stalled engine. You should bring your truck to our Terex truck service center for diagnosis and repair.

• Can I use a different-sized tyre for my Terex truck?

  Vehicle manufacturers conduct thorough research to select the ideal tyre size to enhance a vehicle's performance. Alterations to the tyre's specifications from the recommended standards can impact the vehicle's stability, comfort, and general performance. Worse still, alterations can negatively affect components like suspension and brakes and even void your warranty. For optimal vehicle performance, stick to the tyre size specified by the manufacturer.

• Will synthetic oils change the fuel efficiency of your vehicle?

  The two main factors influencing your truck's fuel efficiency are your driving habits and the conditions under which you drive it. Synthetic oils offer superior protection for your engine and minimize friction, which translates to better fuel efficiency. Regular maintenance at a Terex service center also boosts fuel efficiency by keeping the vehicle running at its best.

• How important is it to maintain the tyre pressure of my Terex truck?

  Correct tyre pressure improves fuel efficiency, the truck's performance, and handling, which makes for a comfortable and safe driving experience. In addition to reducing fuel efficiency, under-inflated tyres increase rolling resistance and wear, making them more susceptible to blowouts. Over-inflated tyres result in poor handling, leading to a less comfortable ride. To put it simply, proper tyre pressure is key to your truck's smooth operation.

• Can I use regular tap water to top up my truck's radiator?

  You can use tap water in your cooling system, but mix it with antifreeze. The antifreeze prevents the water from boiling during hot weather and freezing at low temperatures. It also protects the cooling system from corrosion. As you top up, ensure an appropriate mixture of water and antifreeze — a 50/50 ratio is ideal. Too much antifreeze can cause the engine to overheat.

• Why does my Terex truck overheat?

  Your Terex truck can overheat due to low coolant levels, leaks in the hoses or radiator, or a water pump malfunction. Also, debris and rust can clog the radiator and impede coolant flow, leading to overheating. The same happens if the thermostat that keeps the engine temperature in check fails. If your Terex truck overheats, that's a sign that it needs servicing, so bring it to Dynatrade Automotive for Terex service.

• Why is the check engine light on?

  When the check engine light (CEL) turns on, you have an engine or emissions system issue. Common causes of an illuminated CEL include problems with the spark plugs, oxygen sensor, fuel system, and catalytic converter. Don't drive your truck with the light on, as you might damage your truck further. Instead, go to our nearest Terex truck service center for professional repair.

• Is it necessary to change my Terex oil filter every time I change the oil?

  You should replace the oil filter whenever you change the oil in your vehicle. The oil filter keeps the engine oil clean by removing contaminants that can build up over time. If you don't replace the oil filter regularly, it can become clogged, leading to poor engine performance and costly repairs. To keep your truck's engine healthy, always change the oil filter whenever you go for an oil change service at our Terex workshop.
