Complete Diesel Repair Services
Modern diesels are sophisticated machines requiring specialized tools, training, and experience. Here’s what we do:
Diesel Engine Diagnostics
Modern diesels rely on complex electronic control systems. Our shop is equipped with manufacturer-grade scan tools to diagnose check engine lights, limp mode, regen problems, drivability issues, and complex sensor failures — quickly and accurately. We don’t guess, we test.
Fuel Injection and Injector Service
High-pressure common rail diesel systems demand precision. We diagnose and replace diesel injectors and injection pumps on Powerstroke, Cummins, and Duramax engines using the right parts and proper procedures. From individual injector replacement to complete high-pressure fuel pump swaps, we do it right.
Turbocharger Service
Failed turbos, boost leaks, actuator problems, and VGT sticking are all issues we diagnose and repair. We handle stock turbo replacement as well as aftermarket upgrades.
Diesel Transmission Repair
Diesel trucks demand robust transmissions. We service and replace Allison 1000s in Duramax trucks, 68RFE and Aisin transmissions in Cummins-powered Rams, and Ford’s 5R110, 6R140, and 10R140 transmissions in Powerstroke trucks.
Cooling System and Head Gaskets
Diesels generate enormous heat under load. We service radiators, water pumps, EGR coolers, and head gaskets — including the well-known 6.0 Powerstroke head gasket job, performed correctly with ARP studs and quality components so it stays fixed.
Glow Plugs and Hard-Start Diagnosis
Cold-weather hard starts are common in the Nebraska Panhandle. We diagnose and repair glow plug systems, fuel delivery issues, low compression, and battery problems to get your diesel firing reliably year-round.
Ford Powerstroke Repair
We service every Powerstroke generation: 7.3L, 6.0L, 6.4L, and 6.7L. Each has its own quirks and common failure points, and we know them all:
- 6.0L Powerstroke — head gaskets, EGR cooler, oil cooler, and injector work. Done right with ARP studs and quality parts.
- 6.4L Powerstroke — radiator cracks, oil cooler, and DPF-related issues
- 6.7L Powerstroke — the modern workhorse. Routine service, injector diagnostics, EGR work, and DEF system service.
- 7.3L Powerstroke — the legendary older engine. IDM failures, glow plug relays, and injector work.
Dodge Ram Cummins Repair
The Cummins 5.9L and 6.7L are some of the most reliable diesel engines ever built, but they still need expert care. We handle:
- Injector service on both 5.9L and 6.7L Cummins
- Lift pump replacement (a common failure point)
- CP3 and CP4 fuel pump service
- 68RFE and Aisin transmission replacement
- Complete diagnostics on every Cummins-powered Ram from 1989 to current
Chevy and GMC Duramax Repair
From the LBZ (widely considered the best Duramax) to the LLY, LMM, LML, and current L5P, our team services every Duramax generation. Common services include:
- Injector replacement and diagnostics
- Fuel system priming and troubleshooting
- Allison transmission service and rebuilds
- EGR cooler service
- CP4 pump replacement on newer trucks
