Your truck engine really needs clean air to operate efficiently: it takes about twelve thousand gallons of air to burn a gallon of gas in your truck engine. And clean air is much better than dirty.

When your air filter’s dirty, it simply can’t trap any more dirt, so the dirt just passes through into your air intake system. From there it can get into the truck engine combustion chamber. And burning dust and pollen in your engine as you drive around Louisville does you no good.

The verdict: When your engine air filter needs to be replaced; it needs to be replaced. How often depends entirely on how dirty the air is in Louisville where you drive. A simple visual inspection by a Honest Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center technician will tell you when you need a new engine air filter in your truck.

When you look at the air filter on your furnace in your Louisville home and see it’s all clogged up with dust and dirt, you don’t hesitate to replace it. But don’t wait until your air filter (furnace or automobile) is totally plugged – by that time you’ve been running inefficiently in Louisville for a lot of miles.

When your Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center service technician brings out your nasty engine air filter, you now know why you should go ahead and change it out.

Most Louisville area car owners don’t service their air conditioning until after it fails.
Maintaining your truck air conditioning system means that you always have enough refrigerant to properly do the job. Small leaks in the air conditioning system allow the refrigerant to escape and the system can’t cool the air as well.

Along with the refrigerant, a special oil circulates in the system. The oil lubricates air conditioning components, and keeps the seals resilient. Low refrigerant and lubricating oil means that the air conditioning parts will wear out prematurely, and we all know that air conditioning repairs can be costly in Louisville.

Air conditioning service at Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center in Louisville starts with a visual inspection of the components for signs of damage or leaks. The compressor is driven by a belt from the engine, most often the serpentine belt, so it’s inspected for cracks or wear.

The air conditioning compressor and other components are checked for proper operation by your Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center service advisor. Then comes the leak test. If a leak is detected, often in a hose or connection, it’s repaired and the truck system is retested. Your Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center technician will also perform a temperature drop test.

If needed, the old refrigerant is evacuated and the system is recharged with clean, fresh refrigerant. A final test insures that the air conditioner is working, and you’re on your way.

How often this should be done at Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center varies from vehicle to vehicle. Your truck owner’s manual will have the manufacturer’s recommendation and, of course, your Honest Kavanaugh’s Complete Car Care Center service advisor can tell you. It’s typically every two years.
