Common Issues
Although diesel engines are engineered well, there are still some common problems that can occur.
- Black Smoke – Black smoke coming from your exhaust is never a good sign. It can mean there are some issues with the injectors, or it can be something simple like the air filter needing to be replaced. Whatever the problem is, you can rest assured that our technicians will address your concerns and accurately diagnose the problem.
- Oil is Oxidizing – Sometimes if your truck is parked for long periods of time, air can get trapped in your oil creating bubbles. Since oil is not supposed to have bubbles, getting air bubbles will meddle with the lubrication process. This will cause major engine issues.
- Bad Glow Plugs – The glow plug’s main function is to give the engine a boost to start. The glow plug heats to an extreme temperature before it helps the diesel engine start. When this is not working, the engine does not have enough power to function properly. If you experience a decrease in power or your truck has misfires, you probably have a damaged glow plug.
Owning a vehicle with a diesel engine has its perks, but also has its own troubles. If you find that your diesel engine is not running like it should or you just need to keep up with the regular maintenance to ensure a long-lasting life, let the master techs at Ultimate Diesel Repair be your team of choice.
