You told me the truth about the motor. When I wanted to buy a truck, I wanted to buy it from you. I trust you.” - customer from NYC

Change the Transmission Fluid in Imported Trucks to Extend the Life of your Engine.

A lot of people don't check their transmission fluid regularly or don't check it properly.  Transmission fluid does not have to be changed as often as the engine oil does.  Most manufacturers of imported trucks -- Isuzu, UD, Mitsubishi, GM W-Series -- recommend that for automatic transmissions, you change the transmission fluid in intervals around 25,000 miles.  Please refer to your manufacturer's specifications for the correct recommendation for your truck.

Proper Tire Care for Isuzu, Mitsubishi, UD, GMC Medium Duty Trucks: How To Make Your Tires last Longer

Tire inflation and tire wear is important.  The proper rotation and inflation of tires will extend the life of your tires.  Tires should be checked monthly for dry rot, for tears and for any kind of cuts in the sidewall.  It’s very important to keep your front tires aired up.  A blow-out can kill you.

Michelin Introduces Two New Tough Truck Tires

Michelin has introduced two new on/off-road truck tires, the XDY for added traction and wear and the XDY-EX2, an aggressive drive axle tire for extreme operating conditions like logging, oil fields and mining.  Both have maximum sidewall protection and aggressive tread design.

Avoid Engine Failure in Isuzu Diesel Engine 4BD2


4BD2 Isuzu Diesel Engines 

A problem we've been seeing lately is the development of cracks in the 4BD2 heads. This can be a problem on trucks in the 1992 – 1998 model range with 4BD2engines – both the Isuzu NPR trucks, as well as the Chev W3 and W4 and the GMC W3500 and W4500 trucks. This does not apply to the GMC W5500.

We Love to Hear From You!

What's your Busbee's Story?

"Thank you all for helping me out so much with my car/trailer crash!  I am still amazed at the special care that I received.  Travis from the state police called Saturday to make sure I got home safely!  Everyone at the Claridge House  was fantastic as well."  -- Jimmy Williamson

Busbee's Truck Parts Creates More How-To Videos

Doug recently created a few more videos that we think you'll find very helpful.  All our videos can be found on our YouTube channel at www.YouTube.com/BusbeeTruckParts.

When customers call in for parts, we always need the VIN and other information such as make and model.  It is very helpful for us and time-saving for you if you have this information available before calling us.
