New to vehicles/trucks

Truck Driver · 09-26-2007, 05:40 PM

I'm new to any motor vehicle. I was wondering if I could get help understanding the internals of a truck. I like to drive them, as well as cars, but I dont understand anything about them.

If anyone can help me with the basics until I learn more, that'd be greatly appreciated.

I'll appreciate any help given.

Welcome to the site Truck Driver;
Answering your questions regarding the basics could take a very long time to answer, especially since we have to assume that your knowledge of any vehicle has limitations.
I would suggest picking up a service manual for a vehicle you drive, or have an interest in. Reading will get you started with the basics, and should get you pointed in the right direction regarding the principles of operation.
Happy reading.

Start reading and asking questions. Noone can give you a simple andswer and make it all clear to you. Welcome

Thanks to all the responses.

I'll be sure to research online about it and if questions seem to come to me, I'll make sure to post them.

Thanks again.
