Counting the top ten annoying truck parts in the industry—have you ever run into them?

In recent years, with the rapid development of the truck market, complete vehicles and truck parts have become the absolute stars. Whether it's big trucks or small ones, they all involve serious public safety issues, and suddenly they became the main targets for anti-counterfeiting. Today, let's take a look at the top ten tricky parts!

▎1. The Rip-Off Part: Brake Pads

Why it’s a rip-off: No matter how hard you press the brakes, I just won’t stop.

Brake pads, commonly called brake pads in everyday terms, are obviously crucial because they directly affect the driver’s safety and the safety of others.

Car manufacturers have strict requirements for brake pads’ friction coefficient and high-temperature resistance.

But many car owners using cheap brake pads always complain that their brakes don’t work, then spend a fortune upgrading to premium brake systems, only to find the brakes still underperform. On top of that, low-quality pads wear out the brake drums quickly and can even cause serious traffic accidents.

▎2. The Rip-Off Part: Low-Quality Engine Oil

Why it’s a rip-off: With its so-called protection, your engine is doomed.

Everyone knows how dangerous low-quality engine oil can be, yet people still fall for it. Why?

Because we don’t have a reliable way to tell the difference; we have to trust the seller’s word. But in today’s auto parts market, finding an honest seller is easier said than done.

▎3. The Rip-Off Part: Low-Quality Grease

Why it’s a rip-off: Lubricating bearings with this? Might as well use Vaseline.

Grease seems harmless at first glance, but it’s caused a lot of accidents. For example, many trailer fires happen because cheap grease damages the bearings, generating friction heat that ignites the tires.

Even though fires happen frequently, most people still don’t realize how important grease is. Chasing cheap prices leads to shoddy products flooding the market, while high-quality grease is rarely bought because it’s expensive.

▎4.坑爹配件之劣质刹车油

坑爹理由：酒精兑水不止人能喝刹车系统也能喝

虽然现在大多数的载重卡车都是使用气压制动，但是离合器系统、还有一些轻卡的制动系统还是离不开刹车油。

根据调查，目前路边修理厂销售的刹车油鱼龙混杂，假冒伪劣产品占据着市场大部分的销量。

如果您的车经常坏离合器总泵、分泵，或者油刹系统老是出故障，那很不幸，您很有可能就是劣质刹车油的受害者。

顺便偷偷告诉你，劣质刹车油生产很简单，酒精兑水就可以。

▎5. Annoying Parts: Tires

Annoying reason: Poor performance is fine, it just occasionally causes brake failure

In today's busy transportation season, truck tires are used very frequently, and it is common to see tire blowouts on the road. When a blowout occurs, it can cause significant damage, making it a concern to buy poor-quality fake tires.

When buying tires, you can first check the production date. If there is uneven rubber around the date, it could be a fake tire that has been altered. Next, check the tire hair and wear markings; retreaded tires generally do not have tire wear marks.

▎6. Cheap injectors: Cheap parts

Tricky reason: You tell me what brand I am, and I am the brand I am

The profit margin from injector repair has shifted from initially profitable technical skills to now "profiteering" on products. Many repair shops are passing off inferior products as good ones everywhere. Brand new injectors also break down within a few days, and in severe cases, the cylinder is pulled short shaft, thrown on the road in no time. Even when you come to find them, the final responsibility is entirely shifted onto the vehicle, which is inferior diesel!

▎7. Disappointing Part: Brake Drum

Reason for the frustration: Getting shattered to pieces is a small matter, but hitting flowers and plants is wrong

Brake drums bear tremendous braking forces during operation, so poor-quality drums are prone to cracking or deformation under extreme conditions. Once broken and left on the road, they pose a threat to other vehicles.

▎8. Cheap Part: Inferior Filters

Reason for the scam: Filtering isn't your main job—making money is the real deal

The three filters: air filter, engine oil filter, and diesel filter.

Their function is to filter out impurities and dirt from air, engine oil, and diesel, preventing them from entering the engine and causing wear. In pursuit of huge profits, merchants' bottom lines are endless!

▎9. Inferior antifreeze as a frustrating part

Rip-off reason: Just focus on cooling; preservation is your business

Everyone knows the role of antifreeze; it can prevent freezing, corrosion, and boiling.

However, these commonly used products are flooded with counterfeits on the market. Not only do they fail, but they also cause corrosion of the engine water channels, making prevention difficult! Antifreeze is especially important for drivers in northern China.

Some fake antifreeze may contain pigments, which can easily clog pipes, damage vehicle components, affect engine performance and lifespan, and also have a pungent smell that poses health risks. People distinguish by the bottle body and smell of the antifreeze you buy; genuine antifreeze bottles are more refined and don't have any pungent smell.

Nowadays, scanning barcodes has become an important way to verify authenticity, so you can give it a try.

▎10. The Annoying Part: Clutch Plates

Reasons for frustration: Should you leave or not? Should you get together? Breaking down halfway makes you cry

The clutch plate is one of the most common wear parts in vehicles. It may seem inconspicuous under normal circumstances, but it plays a significant role. Because all the engine's power must pass through it to the transmission, if it malfunctions, it could make it difficult for you to move forward.

However, inferior products are everywhere on the market, and it's hard for ordinary people to distinguish. Once used, it's easy to experience shaking at startup, incomplete disengagement, or gear shifting and teeth jerking!

Finally, we want to call on everyone together to ensure a harmonious and safe living environment. National management departments and social supervisory forces must unite and work together to resolutely eliminate counterfeit and inferior truck parts from threatening public safety. Every day is 315, so counterfeit and inferior goods have nowhere to hide!
