4 Common Issues that Cause Semi Truck No-Start

by Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire • 2 June 2025
When a semi truck refuses to start, it can bring your route to a grinding halt and cost time and money. In such a situation, our team at Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire can come to you to diagnose and resolve the issue. Here are four common reasons that semi trucks fail to start. Dead or Weak Battery One of the most common reasons for a no-start condition in a semi truck is a dead or weak battery. Batteries lose their charge over time, especially in extreme temperatures. Corroded terminals, loose connections, or an aging battery can prevent the electrical system from functioning properly. If the truck makes a clicking noise but won’t start, the battery is a likely suspect. Faulty Starter Motor The starter motor is responsible for cranking the engine, and if it’s not functioning properly, the engine won’t turn over. Symptoms of a bad starter motor include a grinding noise, complete silence when turning the key, or intermittent starting issues. Over time, wear and tear can cause the starter to fail, leaving the truck immobile. Fuel System Problems Without a steady supply of fuel, a diesel engine can’t start. Common issues include clogged fuel filters, air in the fuel lines, and a faulty fuel pump. Signs of an emerging fuel system issue include inconsistent acceleration, poor fuel-efficiency, and difficult starting. A disruption in the fuel delivery system can prevent combustion, keeping the engine from firing up. Ignition Switch Issues If the ignition switch fails, it can prevent the truck from starting even if the battery and starter are in good shape. A worn ignition switch may cut off power to the starter motor and fuel system. Drivers may notice that turning the key doesn't produce any response, which can indicate a failing switch. 24/7 Mobile Semi Truck Repair in San Antonio, TX For roadside semi truck repair in San Antonio and the surrounding area, contact Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire at  (210) 796-3891  .

4 Common Signs of a Semi Truck Suspension Issue

by Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire • 28 April 2025
A well-maintained suspension system is crucial for the performance and safety dof a semi truck. The suspension not only cushions the ride for the driver but also helps protect cargo and ensures the truck handles properly under heavy loads. When problems arise, they often start small but can quickly worsen if left unchecked. Recognizing the early warning signs of suspension trouble can help you address issues before they lead to major repairs or breakdowns. At Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire, we provide expert mobile semi truck repair in the greater San Antonio area. Here are four common signs that your semi truck may have a suspension problem. Excessive Bouncing or Rough Ride A healthy suspension system should absorb road shock and provide a relatively smooth ride. If you notice your truck bouncing excessively after hitting a bump or if the ride suddenly feels rougher than usual, it’s a sign that something isn’t functioning correctly. Worn-out shocks or broken springs can’t properly dampen the movement of the truck, resulting in a bumpy, uncomfortable ride that can also affect your ability to control the vehicle. Uneven Tire Wear One of the most noticeable signs of a suspension issue is uneven tire wear. If your tires are wearing out more quickly on one side or have an unusual tread pattern, it may be due to improper alignment or a worn suspension component. When the suspension system isn’t supporting the truck evenly, it causes the tires to bear uneven loads, leading to premature wear. Checking your tires regularly can help you catch this issue early. Leaning or Sagging on One Side If your semi truck appears to be sitting lower on one side, it could indicate a broken or weak spring, or possibly an issue with an air suspension component. This uneven stance can make handling more difficult and increase the stress on other suspension parts. A leaning truck can also pose a safety concern that should be addressed quickly. Visible Damage or Leaking Fluid Routine inspections may reveal visible damage such as cracked or broken leaf springs, or leaking hydraulic fluid from shock absorbers. These are clear signs that something is wrong with your suspension. Any damaged or leaking components should be repaired or replaced immediately to avoid further wear on the truck and help ensure safe operation on the road. 24/7 Mobile Semi Truck Repair in San Antonio, TX For roadside semi truck repair in San Antonio and the surrounding area, contact Billy Bob’s Repair & Tire at  (210) 796-3891  .
