Re: When do you service your truck
do the stalling of the truck occur if you keep everything up-to-date, but leave the tires go worn out, because i dont like to replace tires after only few delveries as irl that dont happen either (unless every trip is around the globe )

Re: When do you service your truck
No, stalls are only caused by damage in engine and I think also in chassis and cabin (not directly related but maybe they run of of ideas, it's not that I've a better option in mind).
Transmission wear causes problems when changing gears and if the damage is high I think I've suffered sometimes in the past the truck going to neutral at random moments.
Tires only cause loss of grip; that over 80% and specially over wet tarmac is VERY noticeable. I tried once to arrive 100% to see how the game manage it; but it was all time raining and it was impossible to keep driving past 95%. It's not that I'm complaining; IRL isn't a good idea to drive with slicks (apart from being illegal)
Regards

Re: When do you service your truck
Personally I service when my tyres are between 10 & 15%.

Re: When do you service your truck
yeah i agree i didnt think getting engine repaired after 2-3% would be realistic so Im currently at 42% tyre damage...il probably get to 40,000 before there changed
had to bring to garage though the gearbox was grinding a lot...
engine damage is at 11% but have not had any stalls yet...

Re: When do you service your truck
Depends for me. Sometimes I do it at 5% and sometimes I wait till I return back go to the garage.
Hopefully in the future we get timed repairs and repairs in garage.

Re: When do you service your truck
Did the same (13-speed transmission loses top gear at ~8.5% wear, which translates into 85% tyre wear) until SCS added wear checks (and fines) for weighing stations. Now I do it after 50% tyre wear.Some newbie driver wrote: ↑08 Oct 2021 14:04 Tires when they are between 80% and 90%. Usually after had suffered some crash due the loss of grip they had at that wear level.
Rest of things, when the stalls are so often to be a real nuisance.
