Tech in Trucking: Medium-duty repair support

Mitchell 1, a Snap-on Company, has recently debuted Medium-Truck.net, a complete web-based service and repair information product covering Class 4-7 medium-duty straight trucks built from 1990 to the present. Mitchell 1’s companion product, Tractor-Trailer.net, supports the maintenance of Class 7-8 tractors and trailers.

Medium-Truck.net provides 24/7 online access to real-world service information for medium-duty vehicle operators and service and repair shops, the same type of information that is available for heavy-duty operators through Tractor-Trailer.net. Both Internet-based products are automatically updated on a monthly basis so subscribers know they have the most current service and repair information available to diagnose and fix vehicles quickly and correctly, said Mitchell 1.

The site has thousands of detailed color wiring diagrams to help solve complex electrical problems. CircuitSelect allows the user to easily trace, highlight, isolate and hide individual wiring circuits using different colored highlights. Service information is enhanced with full-color photos that provide a real-world view of vehicle components and assemblies.  

Medium-Truck.net is easy to learn and use, said Mitchell 1. Technicians simply navigate through the program after they log in to find all the information required to fix a particular vehicle. By entering the vehicle VIN number, the program automatically populates the year/make/model for rapid vehicle selection. Diagnosis and repair are made correctly the first time, said the company, thus quickly putting the vehicle back in service.
