Travel Trailer: Why You Should Upgrade Your Diesel Before Your Trip

by choateperformance 17 Oct 2022
If you're planning a long road trip, you'll need to ensure that your diesel truck has the performance to get you where you need to travel. And if your diesel engine isn't running at its peak, it might not be able to handle all of that extra weight. If you're looking for a company specializing in diesel engines, contact Choate Engineering Performance today at (901) 553-9847. We offer custom solutions to all your needs related to diesel engines. When traveling with a trailer, there are many factors beyond just getting from point A to point B. It can be how much fuel you'll use and if the trailer is too heavy for the vehicle pulling it. Here are some ways upgrading your diesel will make sure your next trip goes smoothly.

Enjoy Smoother Ride With by Replacing Old Parts

A remanufactured engine is a more extensive machining job than rebuilding because the engine is pulled out of the vehicle and returned to factory conditions and blueprint specifics. Everything with potential wear is replaced to bring the engine back to its original standards. This can be expensive, but it’s worth it if you want to keep your vehicle running smoothly for years to come. When a diesel engine is rebuilt, all of the old parts are replaced with brand-new ones. The rebuilt part will look exactly like the original, but it should run even smoother and last longer. Once this procedure has been completed at a good auto repair shop, you'll notice that your vehicle starts more easily and accelerates more quickly. That is even evident while towing a heavy trailer behind it! You might also notice that fuel efficiency improves when driving around town or on highways after having your diesel motor remanufactured. It could mean savings on fuel costs and the peace of mind of knowing that nothing else will go wrong with your diesel engine anytime soon!

Your Diesel Engine Will Work Like New Before You Travel

It’s common that parts in your engine will wear down over time—especially if your truck has high mileage. If you're about to embark on a long drive with an extra bit of weight behind your vehicle, it will need all the help it can get. And since diesel engines produce more torque than gas engines, they're more likely to break down due to overuse or poor maintenance than other vehicles. If you plan on traveling with a trailer or moving across the country in the near future, it's important that your diesel engine is in top condition at all times so that it doesn't break down during one of those long journeys.

Lower Emissions

A diesel rebuild can also make your engine run cleaner and more efficiently. It will produce fewer emissions, which makes it environmentally friendly. Because the engine is cleaner, it's less likely to fail due to its reduced wear and tear. And since you'll be using less fuel to get where you're going, your wallet will also benefit from its lower operating costs.

More Power and Towing Capacity

Diesel engines are known for their extreme pulling power, which is why they're used in trucks and heavy machinery. A diesel engine that has been remanufactured can increase horsepower and torque by up to 30 percent. A higher-horsepower rating means you'll be able to tow heavier loads (like a boat or camper), while increased torque will give you greater pulling capacity on steep grades or sandy terrain. This added capability helps ensure that your diesel will perform as expected throughout your travels, no matter where they take you!

Conclusion in Diesel Travel

So whether you're headed out for a weekend in the woods or taking a cross-country trip, make sure your truck has the performance to get you where you need to go. You don't want to be stuck in a remote area with a broken-down vehicle where there's nobody around. Your truck’s default stock engine builds are made with towing capabilities but aren't designed for towing all day, every day, for long periods. The Workhorse builds done by Choate are manufactured with daily towing in mind. A diesel engine rebuild ensures you get the most out of your vehicle.

What is Lorem Ipsum? Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum. Why do we use it? It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
