Duramax Mechanic in Utah

January 27, 2022 by admin

Looking For A Duramax Mechanic in Utah?

Duramax is one of the most powerful and durable GM-brand diesel engines you can buy. Its monstrous torque gives it super towing abilities, making it a joy to use. 

And when you are 100% sure that your engine is in good shape and won’t break down or malfunction, you can rely that much more on your truck.

That’s a job for our Duramax repair shop in Centerville. Our Duramax mechanics offer a variety of repair, rebuild, maintenance, and replacement services for these powerful engines. 

Why Do You Need A Duramax Mechanic?

It’s best to work with an AAA-Approved and certified Duramax mechanic to diagnose and repair your Duramax engine. These professionals have in-depth experience in dealing with all makes and models of Duramax and can troubleshoot your vehicle quickly. 

They understand the intricacies of fuel injectors, fuel injector pumps, turbos, fuel lines, and glow plugs, etc., and know what to do at the first sign of trouble. So you can count on us for everything from engine noise diagnosis to major mechanical repairs. 

In addition to repairs, your Duramax engines need regular upkeep to keep operating at peak performance. The diesel experts at Dave’s Auto Center in Centerville can service your Duramax, providing fuel changes and flushes, DPF filter cleaning, oil and filter changes, and more. 

Common Problems of Duramax Engine

Duramax is a reliable engine, but it still has some issues. Here are some of the everyday problems that plague these engines and what our experts can do to fix them:

  1. LB7 Fuel Injector Failure: The LB7 uses a 23,000psi rail and a Bosch CP3 injection pump to directly inject fuel into the cylinders. This requires high pressure, which sometimes the Duramax injectors cannot handle, resulting in cracks and leakage of fuel and air.

Solution: A Duramax mechanic removes rockers to access the fuel injectors and rebuilds them.

  1. Snapped Crankshaft: High horsepower Duramax engine’s crankshaft breaks due to excessive rpm and the sizeable external counterweight. This means your truck will not work unless the crankshaft is replaced.

Solution: A Duramax mechanic can replace it with a more robust and affordable unit such as Compstar forged crankshaft.

  1. CP4 Failure: Your LML code Duramax engine is fitted with the Bosch CP4.2 high-pressure fuel pump, which is not reliable for the long term. Now newer Duramax models are fixed with ultra-durable CP3, preventing pump failures. However, CP4 is easily affected by water, rust, and debris. As a result, the engine seizes or stops operating altogether.

Solution: A Duramax mechanic changes the fuel filter and installs a lift pump to relieve pressure to prevent the CP4 from malfunctioning again.

We Help Your Duramax Be The Best It Can Be

Mentioned above are some of the reasons why you are better off working with our experienced Duramax mechanics. 

Our shop offers all the services needed to keep your Duramax healthy and operating smoothly. This is made possible by the best specialty tools and advanced technologies used to diagnose what’s wrong with your diesel engine and how it can be made to perform better. 

Our goal is to keep your Duramax performing at its best for many years. 

So, if your Duramax engine is giving you trouble, contact Dave’s Auto Center in Centerville, Utah, for professional Duramax services.

Glenn Ross Dave’s auto is the best choice for all your repair needs from simple maintenance to full engine rebuilds. I bring my aging fleet vehicle here after having many poor experiences from other repair shops. The staff is nice, accommodating and won’t talk down to you. The mechanics are very knowledgeable and quick with problem solving. I also bring my personal truck here because these guys are observant and pay attention to details. They inform me of concerns that might cause problems or breakdowns later. The costs are fair and they don’t cut corners. This is a family business with several long term employees. I strongly recommend Dave’s Auto for any auto repair need.
