Cooling and Lubrication Systems
To prevent costly diesel engine repairs in the future, it's essential to maintain your diesel engine's cooling system effectively. Ensuring efficient cooling and lubrication in high-performance Duramax, Power Stroke, and Cummins diesel engines is the key to extending the lifespan of vital components such as glow plugs, injectors, and turbos.

Glow Plug Replacement
In all weather conditions and road scenarios, your truck or jeep relies on its glow plug to generate the necessary heat and electrical resistance for engine ignition. We offer the ideal glow plug options for Duramax, Power Stroke, and Cummins diesel engines, including DieselRX, NGK, and more!

Injectors and Turbos
Since 1992, Sound Truck & Auto Repair has been recognized as Bellingham's premier diesel repair facility. We specialize in rejuvenating worn-out, high-performance injectors and turbos within GM, Chevy, Dodge, and Ford trucks. These components are prone to generating unwanted noise or expelling excessive exhaust. A failing injector can lead to poor fuel economy, glow plug complications, and reduced performance, impacting your truck or jeep both on and off the road.

Diesel Maintenance FAQs

What maintenance is required for a diesel engine?

Diesel engines crank up the heat compared to their gasoline counterparts. This hotter environment means they're thirsty for fresh oil more often, demanding regular changes and quality checks. To keep them humming through winter, a splash of liquid additive can be their best friend, both during those chilly months and in the spring thaw.

How often should diesel injectors be serviced?

While 95,000 miles is the general lifespan for diesel fuel injectors, don't blindly stick to that number! Your specific car's make, model, and driving habits can significantly impact when they need replacing. Keep an eye out for warning signs like rough idling or decreased fuel efficiency, and consider scheduling a checkup even before hitting the 95,000-mile mark.

How long does a diesel engine last?

A well-maintained diesel engine is a mileage marathon runner. Expect 1 million to 1.5 million miles before major repairs, and some makes and models even boast 30 years of service on the road. That's more than twice the average lifespan of a gasoline engine, thanks to their robust construction and efficient combustion process.

Great Diesel Mechanics
Diesel Engine Repair, near Bellingham, WA

We were on an extended vacation in our Travel Trailer in the Blaine area when our check engine light came on our Chevy Diesel Duramax. And our regular mechanic was over 100 miles away. The earliest we could get a diagnostic with them was 2 weeks out, then a schedule repair another week. The truck was running ok except for some extra burn of def which periodically blew white exhaust after a high rpm for a couple of months, so we knew it was coming. So we did a little researched for a decent local mechanic with good reviews. We found Sound Truck Repair, they were also booked out 2 weeks for a diagnostic, but said they would be able to work on our truck the same day, so we parked it and took the appointment. Well, they did exactly as promised, they took care of business. We feel the diagnostics was accurate, we feel we were charged accordingly, the repair time frame was efficient, we did not feel there was any kind of deception or up sales. These guys are on the up and up. And above all, we are appreciative that we were able to safely get on the road again to tow our rig. Thank you all at Sound Truck Repair, it was a good day, and you helped make it. BTW Dustin was amazing.

Honest Diesel Repair

We have a 2017 Ford Transit Diesel Fuse Winnebago with a engine light on for water in the Fuel. Even though they were busy they made room for our repair. They had us back on the road in no time. Professional, affordable and honest! The shop is immaculate, one of the nicest I've seen! Highly recommended.

No Surprise Maintenance
Diesel Engine Repair, near Bellingham, WA

The service was prompt with no Surprises. Dustin is who I spoke to about symptoms on my Cummins. System by System part for part! Who does that anymore? It was great to get prioritized preventive maintenance suggestions upon picking up our income making Cummins Truck. The maintenance plan clearly showed that our truck was physically gone over!
