Engines in heavy-duty trucks are known for their strength and power, but even they experience wear and tear. Our engine conversion, repair, and rebuild services save you time and money in the long run while preventing unplanned downtime. If your truck’s engine requires an overhaul, we replace worn parts with new ones to improve its efficiency and overall performance.

How To Tell If Your Engine Is Damaged
Jammed EGR Valve
If the EGR valve becomes wedged in an open position, an excessive amount of exhaust gas recirculates into the combustion chamber. This overly-high flow rate reduces the temperature of the combustion process and restricts the oxygen supply. As a result, your truck may experience performance problems, a drop in fuel efficiency, and an uneven idle.
Ruptured Head Gasket
Your truck’s engine block is composed of two parts: the cylinder head and the cylinder block. Both parts are connected using a gasket, allowing them to expand and contract as the temperature changes. If the engine overheats for an extended length of time, the gasket may fail, leading to symptoms such as white smoke from the exhaust. In turn, this brings up the need to constantly refill the engine coolant.
Engine Overhaul
The overhaul process involves an in-depth inspection of bearings, injectors, liners, turbo, cylinder heads, and other components to ensure they meet manufacturer specifications. Any parts that do not come within the given parameters are quickly replaced before being subject to performance testing.
Additionally, we disassemble and clean the engine to clear debris and grime, making it easier for our mechanics to locate and fix issues. After cleaning and making the necessary repairs, the engine is reassembled and returned to your truck.

We can help extend its life with our clearing, servicing, and repair services that cover fuel injectors, glow plugs, injection pumps, oil seal leaks, turbochargers, and more.
Although not all engine complications are serious, sometimes minor issues can potentially cause engine failure and, in extreme cases, the need for a new engine.
Engine Conversion
An engine conversion is a process that involves altering an engine from diesel to run on alternatives like liquefied natural gas or propane. This is often necessary for fleets of heavy-duty trucks that must comply with certain programs and regulations. When properly carried out, an engine conversion’s efficiency level is similar to that of a diesel engine.
