Diesel Engine Diagnosing

January 1, 2023

Diesel engines face similar issues. Knowing what to do when you need diesel engine repair will keep your engine running smoothly and have you prepared to handle any potential obstacles in your way. By performing preventative diesel truck maintenance, we can effectively find issues your diesel truck may have while they are minor before they grow into something more significant. Every diesel engine is a bit different, but they utilize a similar principle; a diesel engine takes air, compresses it, and injects fuel into the compressed air. The heat of the compressed air ignites the fuel spontaneously. Converting this energy into rotary mechanical energy that powers your vehicle.



NOTICING ANYTHING STRANGE?


There are several indicators that your diesel truck showcases to let you know you need diesel engine repair. This is your truck’s way of letting you know that there is a problem that needs to be resolved quickly before it escalates into something significant. These indicators are:


  • Strange noises from the engine (pinging or knocking)
  • Check engine light comes on
  • Your diesel engine stalls
  • A decrease in power
  • Colored smoke coming from the exhaust


If your truck is experiencing any of these issues, your vehicle may be due for a professional maintenance check. These issues can escalate in severity and cause additional problems if left untreated. Your vehicle is calling out for help. Knowing what is going on and what to do can make all the difference for your vehicle’s longevity and performance.


WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY DIESEL ENGINE?


If you need diesel engine repair, it’s probably because you’re experiencing some issues with your truck’s engine components not working together correctly. There are several factors at play here that could be your truck’s diesel engine issues. These issues include overheating engine issues, engine oil oxidation, damaged diesel injectors, and glow plug issues. These issues are found through a proper diesel engine diagnostic performed during routine diesel truck maintenance checks with our reputable diesel truck repair specialists!
