At Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, AR, we enjoy providing you with useful knowledge that pertains to the ownership and maintenance of your car, truck, or SUV.

Exhaust issues are extremely common, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive. At Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, AR, we can get your exhaust back in shape in no time.

Exhaust issues tend to be neglected, and we get that; there are just other parts of your vehicle that you'd rather focus on. Besides a clogged catalytic converter, there isn’t much risk of damage from a bad exhaust system - it negatively affects your gas mileage, and the sound is annoying, but other than that, it’s an issue many people learn to live with. 

The exhaust on your truck is an important series of components, that work together to insure smooth, reliable operation. At Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, AR, we also know that exhaust systems are especially susceptible to damage and rust; pipes, mufflers, and other parts are exposed to hazards on the road, and to the environment. This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, create a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.

There are many parts and systems outside of the car’s transmission that is equally as important as the parts and systems inside the transmission. Without them, the transmission won’t do much.

Just in case you need us, at Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, AR, we can help keep your transmission in top shape, but here’s what you need to know.

If your car, truck or SUV is experiencing major engine issues, the technicians at Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, AR have you covered. You hear the engine knocking when it decides to start?

When you get in your car, truck, SUV, or minivan to drive and the A/C does not work what could be wrong? Here at Whitey's Truck Center, we have some simple answers to help you understand how your vehicle A/C system works. The first question we are asked is "Why isn't my air conditioner blowing cold air?" Let's talk about what could be happening. 

When driving around town, your vehicle's engine needs clean air to burn the fuel – and it needs a lot. In fact, a typical vehicle needs about 216,000 gallons of air for every tank of gas. All that air passes through a filter that catches the dust and dirt. Eventually, the filter gets completely full, and because the filter can only hold so much, dirt starts getting through. At Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, we want to help you get the best air quality in your vehicle, but first, we want to explain the process of where this dirty air is going. 

At Whitey's Truck Center in Little Rock, we understand how vital solid battery power is to a truck driver.
