Expert Tips for Inspecting a Pre-Owned Diesel Pickup

While we stand by the quality of our vehicles, being an informed buyer is always a good practice. When you come to schedule a test drive for a used diesel truck, there are a few specific things to pay attention to. A thorough inspection can give you peace of mind in your purchase decision. For a more general guide, review our article on how to inspect a used car before you buy.

  • Cold Start: Ask to see the truck started when the engine is completely cold. A well-maintained diesel should start without excessive cranking. Watch for the color of the exhaust smoke upon startup. A little white or black smoke that clears quickly is often normal, but persistent blue or heavy white smoke could indicate potential issues.
  • Check for Blow-By: With the engine running, carefully open the oil filler cap. Excessive smoke or pressure coming from the oil fill tube (known as "blow-by") can be a sign of worn piston rings or internal engine wear.
  • Examine Maintenance Records: Diesel trucks require regular maintenance, including frequent oil changes with specific types of oil, and fuel filter replacements. The availability of service records is a strong indicator that the previous owner took good care of the vehicle.
  • Listen to the Turbo: During your test drive, listen for the sound of the turbocharger. You should hear a faint whistle as it spools up under acceleration. Grinding, whining, or siren-like noises could suggest a problem with the turbo.
  • Feel the Transmission: Pay close attention to how the transmission shifts, both under light and heavy acceleration. Shifts should be smooth and decisive. Heavy-duty transmissions are built tough, but you should still check for any hesitation or jarring between gears.

Finding the right used diesel truck for your needs in Wylie, TX, is easy when you partner with a knowledgeable and supportive dealership. We invite you to browse our current inventory online and contact us with any questions. We look forward to helping you find the perfect diesel-powered workhorse.

What are the main advantages of a diesel truck over a gas truck?

Diesel trucks typically offer three major advantages over gasoline-powered trucks. First is torque; diesel engines produce significantly more torque at lower engine speeds, which is ideal for towing heavy loads. Second is fuel efficiency, as diesel engines are often more economical, especially on the highway or when hauling. Third is longevity, because diesel engines are built to withstand higher compression, they generally have a longer service life than gas engines when properly maintained.

Are used diesel trucks more expensive to maintain?

While diesel engines are known for their durability, their routine maintenance can sometimes be more costly than that of a gasoline engine. For example, they hold more oil, and their fuel filters are more complex. However, these costs are often offset by their longer lifespan and better fuel economy. Major repairs can be more expensive, which makes a pre-purchase inspection very important when buying a used model.

Can I get financing for a diesel truck in Wylie with a challenging credit history?

Many drivers with less-than-perfect credit can find financing solutions. As a dealership offering in-house financing, we are often able to provide options when traditional banks cannot. We evaluate more than just your credit score, taking into account factors like your income and employment history to make a decision. You can start the process by completing our online pre-qualification form on our applications page.

What should I listen for during a test drive of a used diesel pickup?

During a test drive, turn the radio off and listen closely to the engine. You should hear the distinct diesel engine sound, but listen for any loud knocking or clattering that could signal an issue. Pay attention to the turbocharger, which should have a smooth whistling sound as you accelerate. Also, listen for any unusual noises from the transmission as it shifts through the gears, and note any strange sounds from the suspension when going over bumps.

Do you accept trade-ins toward the purchase of a diesel truck?

Yes, we absolutely accept trade-ins. Trading in your current vehicle can be a great way to lower your overall purchase price and can often serve as a significant portion of your down payment. You can get an initial estimate of your vehicle's value by using the convenient tool on our value my trade page before you even visit our dealership.
