The goal

Keep a working hotshot truck on the road with zero unplanned downtime.

This is a fleet-of-one truck that runs loaded every day. The owner's ask was simple: tell me what is going to fail next and fix it on a schedule. We did a full inspection, found the fuel and cooling items that were close, and replaced them together.

What came in

  • Fuel filters overdue with water in the separator — a contamination risk on a truck that never stops
  • Coolant bypass hose showing the hardening that precedes a split
  • Heater core hose weeping onto the bellhousing
  • No documented service baseline for a truck covering 40,000 miles a year

What left

  • Fuel and water separation service done, with a monthly drain routine taught and written down
  • Coolant bypass hose and elbow replaced with the cast part
  • Heater hose and fitting replaced before it became a roadside failure
  • A tracked service schedule with reminders on the account

What we measured after

Downtime
One scheduled visit, none since
Fuel system
No contamination found after service
Schedule
Intervals tracked with email reminders
They found the two things that were about to strand me and fixed them in the same week. That is the whole job.
