We love all of the safety features included in the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD. This popular heavy-duty pickup has incredible technology available for you to use. It can make it safer for you to drive on the roads and off-roads. The rear park assist is a great feature because you can get some assistance when the truck is in reverse. Whether you're parking or backing up, you can use the rear vision camera to tell you if you're too close to an object. It ensures you don't run anything (or anyone) over. There are a few other sensors that can help on the roads, too. Your Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD will signal if you unintentionally drift out of your lane so that you can avoid hitting another vehicle. If you're getting too close to the car in front of you, the forward collision alert will sound.

Here at Al Willeford Chevrolet, we want you to have the information you need to be an educated driver. One of the more common safety features found in newer model vehicles is a blind-spot monitor. What exactly is it and how does it help you drive safer? Part of driving safely is checking your side and rear-view mirrors constantly to see where other vehicles are. However, traffic changes constantly and it's easy for cars to slip into your blind spot. A blind-spot monitor uses radar or sonar to detect the presence of a vehicle in a place you might not be able to see. Some vehicles give you alerts any time a vehicle enters the blind spot, while others only alert when you active the turn signal. Many cars have a blind-spot monitor included in its safety package. Come by the dealership in Portland, TX to test drive a few for yourself.

Our team at Al Willeford Chevrolet strives to keep our Portland, TX customers well-informed about ways they can maintain the condition of the cars. Your gaskets are important because they hold at least two surfaces together to prevent gases and fluids from leaking, and they can withstand extreme temperatures. Your gaskets should eventually be replaced. If you fail to replace a deteriorating gasket, it could lead to damage that is expensive to repair. Gaskets are made with a variety of materials. The most common material is multi-level steel, but gaskets can also be copper or rubber. Head gaskets are the most common type of gasket. Other gaskets include intake manifold gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets, and bearing gaskets. To keep your vehicle running smoothly, have your gaskets repaired as soon as you notice gasket failure. If you notice gurgling, foaming, or bubbling coming from around the radiator, then high compression levels could have caused holes to form in some of the gaskets.
