I love the rain now!
These wiper blades are great! They don't leave any streaks at all and make no noise whatsoever, just smooth and silent - definitely a great improvement over my old wipers. I hardly even notice it's raining! The shipping was prompt and they were delivered on the expected date. The price was lower than in any of the stores in my area. I am very satified with both seller and product. Thanks!

It's official we are now starting the snow season in most parts of the country.  Wheeling Truck Center has recently added a variety of snow plow lights from Truck-Lite and Grote to our site.  It may be a good idea to keep a spare set in your truck with you when you're out working.  The last thing you need on a cold day in bad weather is poor visibility because your lights don't work.  Also check out Grote's LED snow plow lamps for great visibility and long-life.  Click here to checkout our complete selection of snow plow lights

Anyone operating a commercial vehicle has dealt with it, electrical wiring corrosion.  Chemicals used to treat roads (magnesium and calcium chloride) hang around on vehicles and do not easily wash off.  These chemicals tend to find their way into electrical connections and down wires causing corrosion problems. 
While this is a big problem to fix, it's even worse when you aren't sure which wire has the problem.  Dan Sullivan has come up with the answer to finding wiring faults FAST! Dan has invented the TESlite, a special set of leads that work with a digital voltmeter. Simply change the leads out with the TESlite tool and now with the push of a button, you can load a circuit to identify the wiring faults fast.  This tool doesn't damage wiring and has SteadyPin tips.  

The TESlite Voltmeter Leads can be purchase from ClassTruckParts.com

Replacement lights are usually an easy fix to take care of for your vehicle, simply remove the lens, unscrew the old burnt out bulb, and install a new one.  That is of course if you have the new replacement bulb on hand.  We've talked before in earlier blogs about the importance of having an emergency parts kit in your truck.  One of the items on our recommended list are replacement light bulbs. 

If you look at a list of possible replacement light bulbs you'll see that many of these lights look alike.  Make sure you replace the old light with the correct new light.  Most miniature replacement bulbs have the part number stamped on the brass base, and most manufacturers use the same part numbers for the lights.  So if you pull the bulb and see 1156, you can buy a GE 1156 or Sylvania 1156, they are the same bulb. 

Class8TruckParts.com has a large selection of Sylvania Mini Replacement Bulbs available for purchase on line. 

We've recently added some video to our website on how to install some commonly purchased Volvo Truck Chrome Accessories.  You can view them on our website:

• Volvo Truck Chrome Headlight Trim
• Volvo Truck Chrome Fender Guard
• Volvo Truck Front Hub Cover

If you have suggestions on other instructional videos for Volvo Truck Parts and accessories, please give us some ideas on what you would like to see.

Anyone who's driven a truck long enough has had the unfortunate experience of the "Fender Bender".  In the fall we see a lot of minor collision damage done from deer.  Sometimes this minor collision damage can be a major cost due to radiator and cooling pack damage.  This is not only expensive to repair, it involves a great deal of unnecessary downtime.  Volvo has come up with a minor vehicle modification that can significantly reduce damage to the radiator and cooling system. 

The Front Under Reinforcement is a Genuine Volvo part that helps to minimize front impact damage to your radiator and cooling fan. It installs between the bumper and the cooling package to help deflect items from impacting the lower portion of the radiator. It requires less than 30 minutes to install and can be done without removing the bumper or the hood; all you need is an air wrench and a small jack for the front end.

Cost of the parts are $171.99 for post 2003 model year trucks and $247.22 for pre 2003 model VN trucks.  The price of this kit is a bargain compared to the price of a radiator assembly and more importantly the downtime that goes along with it.  To order this Front End Radiator Reinforcement .  If you're not sure which kit your truck needs, call us at 866-464-0183 with the serial number of your truck and tell our parts professionals you need a Deer Guard for your Volvo Truck.

Seeing is believing, and that is why Volvo has put together this video showing a collision without the reinforcement, and then a collision with reinforcement.  You can order this kit from www.Class8TruckParts.com Deer Guard
and protect your vehicle from unnecessary downtime and expenses.
