Diesel Injector Repair
If your diesel is smoking, idling rough, starting hard or losing power, a worn or leaking fuel injector is one of the most likely reasons, and it is worth testing before it damages the engine.
-
Turbocharger Repair
Turbocharger repair is fixing the turbo, the exhaust-driven fan that forces extra air into a diesel engine so it can make the power to pull a heavy load.
-
DPF, DEF & EGR Repair
DPF, DEF and EGR repair means fixing the three emissions systems on a modern diesel, which are the most common reason a late-model truck drops into reduced power.
-
Glow Plugs & Hard Starts
A diesel that is hard to start in the cold usually has a problem with its glow plugs, the small heaters that warm each cylinder so the fuel can light, or with its batteries or fuel supply.
-
Diesel Maintenance
Diesel maintenance is the regular oil, filter and fluid service that keeps your truck's fuel system, turbo and emissions parts healthy, and it is the cheapest way to avoid an expensive repair.
-
Diesel Diagnostics
Diesel diagnostics is the testing that finds out exactly why your truck is smoking, losing power, starting hard or showing a warning light, before any parts get replaced.
-
Loss of Power
A diesel that has lost power is usually not getting enough air, not getting enough fuel, or has been put into a reduced-power mode by its own computer to protect the engine.
-
Black Smoke
Black smoke from a diesel means the engine is getting more fuel than it has air to burn, so some of that fuel leaves the tailpipe as soot instead of power.
-
White Smoke
White smoke from a diesel is usually either fuel that is not burning or coolant that is getting into the engine.
-
Hard Starting
A diesel that is hard to start, especially on a cold morning, most often has weak glow plugs, weak batteries or a fuel problem.
-
DPF Warning Light
A DPF warning light means your diesel's exhaust filter is filling with soot faster than the truck can burn it off.
-
DEF Warning Light
A DEF warning light means something is wrong with your diesel's exhaust fluid system: the fluid is low, the fluid is poor quality, or a part has failed.
-
Turbo Noise
A new or louder noise from your diesel's turbo usually means one of two things: a leak in the air or exhaust piping around it, or wear inside the turbo itself.
-
Diesel Knock
Every diesel clatters a little, but a new, louder or changing knock usually means an injector problem, poor fuel or a worn part inside the engine.
