Why does it feel like my car is slowing down?

The most probable issue is a clogged fuel filter. Over time, the fuel filter might need cleaning and maintenance to get debris and dirt out. When your fuel filter is clogged, your fuel pump needs to work harder to get fuel into the system, resulting in a slow insufficient drive.

What to do if your truck feels like it is going over rumble strips?

It could actually go a month – or years. If you have a switch for turning off the overdrive (something like an O/D Off button) then turn it off. This will likely shut down the TCC altogether. If you do any long drives, esp highway-type driving don’t leave it off, but for normal everyday around home driving it will be fine.

Can a truck roll down a steep hill?

However, in Western Canada, not all are structured like this. They are steep curved hills where the truck will ride to the top of the curved hill to slow the truck down, then the truck will roll backward down the hill and then roll to a stop. It may be necessary to abandon the truck if this is the case.

Why do drivers make the mistake of traveling too quickly on a steep hill?

Some drivers make the mistake of traveling too quickly on a steep grade because they thought they could gauge a grade by appearance. It’s very difficult to tell the grade of a hill just by looking. Once a truck gets momentum descending a grade, it’s nearly impossible to regain control.

What should you do if your truck goes off the road?

Head for the runaway lane if you need to. It’s best at that point to get the unit off the road so you aren’t hurt or you don’t harm others on the road. If you have pulled the truck off the road and it lands in a ditch, be sure to shut off all of the power. Then safely get far away from the truck.
