24 Marketplace T R U C K P A R T S & S E R V I C E | M a r c h 2 0 1 5 Engine leak detector Redline Technologies introduces its new HD PowerSmoke leak detec- tor for heavy-duty engines. Redline says the product is designed to apply the precise pressure and volume of vapor needed to test the integrity of heavy-duty intake systems and exhaust systems in one quick procedure. By generating variable vapor pressure from 2 to 20 psi, the detector gives heavy-duty techni- cians the ability to vary fl ow as different types and sizes of leaks are visible at different pressures. Front axle regional tire Toyo Tire USA introduces its new Toyo M149 super single for regional to urban use on com- mercial trucks. This all-position super single tire is designed to deliver superior wear performance in tough operations ranging from urban front axles to long haul trailers, the company says. Optimized construction and tread design delivers high uniformity, even wear, and excellent wet traction. These benefi ts combined with a competitive acquisition point make the M149 a leading value alternative tire for tough operating condi- tions, Toyo says. Expanded stability control system Meritor WABCO's SmartTrac portfolio of stability control systems has expanded with the addition of a new cost-saving technology to monitor suspension load and manage lift axles for trailers. The new product integrates with Meritor WABCO's trailer roll stability support (RSS) and anti-lock braking systems (ABS), resulting in a more cost-effective solution compared to stand-alone lift axles, the company says. Meritor WABCO says it also is compatible with any air ride-equipped lift axle suspen- sion on a trailer and can be confi gured in several ways. Growing aerodynamic mud fl ap product line Andersen Flaps is expanding its aerodynamic Eco-fl aps splash guard line with the addition of a 27- and 36-in. long splash guard. The new lengths come with the improved Eco-fl aps design for an even more aerodynamic splash guard, the company says. The wide horizontal ribs have been removed in the design improvement to fur- ther reduce wind resistance and to improve fuel effi ciency. Eco-fl aps' molded, aerodynamic channels allow air and water to easily move through the fl ap surface with minimal drag to improve fuel economy up to 3.5 percent, the company says. Axle lubricant for low RPM engines Dana has released an axle lubricant it says is spe- cially formulated for fuel economy improvements with lower rpm engines. The XFE 75W-90 axle lubricant is a synthetic gear oil with a 500,000 mile change interval. Dana says its engineers have validated a number of benefi ts associated with using the new lubricant, including reduced friction and spin loss, lower stabilization temperature and more viscosity during operation. Heavy-duty vehicle stereo ASA Electronics has introduced its new JCV2015BT stereo under its Jensen Heavy Duty brand. ASA Electronics says the stereo plug and play is accessible with all truck makes, has a 12-month warranty, is SiriusXM-ready and Bluetooth enabled, and comes equipped with front panel access to USB, along with iPod and iPhone integration and charg- ing, a 3.5mm input, a rear RCA AUX input, and a seven-channel NOAA weatherband tuner.
