A MIXER TRUCK

01

GO WITH A
MECHANIC

When visiting a dealership to purchase a truck, we strongly recommend bringing a trusted mechanic who can inspect the truck with you and verify that all critical components are functioning properly—especially those you may not be familiar with.

If bringing a mechanic is not possible, we recommend taking a printed inspection guide with you. Use it to review the truck’s key components and ask the salesperson whether they have been properly inspected and are in good working condition. This can help you identify potential issues before they turn into costly repairs or unexpected downtime that could keep your truck out of service.

When evaluating a used mixer truck, don’t rely solely on mileage or engine hours, as these trucks may have experienced extensive use. We recommend having a qualified mechanic connect a diagnostic computer to the engine and perform a cylinder test, which typically takes 15–20 minutes. The inspection should confirm that there are no active warning lights or fault codes on the dashboard, inside the truck's cab, as these may indicate issues requiring significant engine repairs or rebuilding.
Additionally, let the truck idle in a stationary position for approximately XX minutes and check for oil leaks or drips. If a leak is detected, identify its source and severity to better understand the potential repair costs before purchasing.

Ask when the transmission was last serviced, as many transmission problems result from a lack of regular maintenance. Have a qualified mechanic connect a diagnostic computer to the transmission and perform a complete diagnostic check. This should take no more than 15 minutes and can help identify any active fault codes or warning indicators that may signal potential transmission issues.
Inspect the truck frame for deep rust and signs of structural damage. Ask the salesperson whether the frame and crossmembers have been inspected for cracks. Because concrete mixer trucks often operate on uneven terrain and under heavy loads, cracked or damaged crossmembers can be a common issue and should be identified before purchasing.

Air conditioning may not seem like a critical operational component, but it is essential for driver comfort and safety, especially when the truck is working in hot weather. No driver should be expected to operate a truck in 100°F temperatures without a properly functioning A/C system.
