WHY YOUR DIESEL ENGINE REQUIRES SPECIAL CARE

When compared to Gasoline, Diesel engines are:

Thicker
Heavier
Slower to evaporate
Higher in energy density

Owing to these factors, diesel engines deliver better mileage than gas engines. Diesel engines emit minimal greenhouse gases, such as carbon monoxide, contributing to global warming. Still, they emit relatively high amounts of soot and nitrogen compounds that cause acid rain and other issues.

Both diesel and gas engines are internal combustion engines that convert fuel into energy. Combustion allows the machines to work in small explosions, but the two engines differ. 

Gas engines operate when fuel is mixed with air, then compressed by pistons and ignited by spark plugs. Diesel engines compress the air before injecting the fuel directly into the combustion chamber. Air heats up when it’s compressed, so the fuel in diesel engines ignites without sparks—our diesel engine services in Calgary include this kind of direct injection. 

DIESEL TRUCK MAINTENANCE TIPS

Proper maintenance is key to ensuring your diesel truck's longevity and optimal performance. Here are some essential maintenance tips to keep your diesel truck running smoothly:

  • Regular oil changes: Diesel engines require regular oil changes to run smoothly. Use the recommended oil grade and change it at the manufacturer's recommended intervals.
     

  • Fuel filter replacement: The fuel filter in your diesel truck plays a crucial role in preventing contaminants from entering the engine. Replace the fuel filter regularly to ensure clean fuel is reaching the engine.
     

  • Air filter replacement: The air filter filters out dust and debris from the air before it enters the engine. A dirty air filter can reduce engine performance and fuel efficiency. Replace the air filter according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
     

  • Coolant system maintenance: The cooling system is essential for regulating the temperature of your diesel engine. Regularly check the coolant level and condition, and flush the system as the manufacturer recommends.
     

  • Regular inspections: Inspect your diesel truck for any signs of wear or damage, such as leaks, worn belts, or loose hoses. Addressing these issues promptly can prevent more significant problems down the road.
     

  • Professional maintenance: While you can perform many maintenance tasks, some require an experienced technician's expertise. Regularly schedule maintenance checks with a qualified diesel truck repair specialist to keep your truck in top condition.


By following these maintenance tips, you can help ensure that your diesel truck remains reliable and efficient for years. Contact Change Auto & Diesel to help you with more maintenance tips and diesel truck repair services in Calgary.

UNDERSTANDING DIESEL ENGINE EFFICIENCY AND LONGEVITY

Diesel engines are popular for their fuel efficiency and long lifespan, which makes them a popular choice for trucks. They compress air to ignite the fuel, resulting in better fuel economy than gasoline engines. Regular maintenance and repair are essential to maximize your diesel truck's performance and lifespan. This includes monitoring air pressure, ensuring fuel system efficiency, and keeping the turbocharger in optimal condition.

THE IMPORTANCE OF DIESEL TRUCK MAINTENANCE

Proper maintenance is essential to the longevity of your diesel truck. Regular maintenance checks help identify potential problems before they become major issues. This includes everything from oil changes to ensuring your turbocharger is in optimal working condition. Below are some critical components that require regular attention:
 

  • Fuel system: Diesel fuel injectors can become clogged or wear out over time, affecting fuel delivery and performance. Keeping your fuel system clean is key to maintaining optimal efficiency.
     

  • Cooling system: The cooling system regulates engine temperature, and any issues here can cause overheating and serious damage.
     

  • Exhaust system: Keeping the exhaust system free of blockages ensures better fuel economy and reduced emissions.

COMMON DIESEL TRUCK REPAIRS

Despite their durability, diesel trucks can still experience mechanical issues that require repair. Here are some common diesel truck repairs you may encounter in Calgary:
 

  • Injector problems: Diesel fuel injectors can become clogged or malfunction, leading to rough idling, reduced performance, and increased fuel consumption. To resolve these issues, injector cleaning or replacement may be necessary.
     

  • Turbocharger failure: The turbocharger in a diesel engine can fail due to issues such as oil contamination, wear and tear, or overheating. A turbocharger replacement may be required to restore engine performance.
     

  • EGR valve issues: The EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) valve helps reduce emissions by recirculating exhaust gases into the engine. However, the EGR valve can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance and increased emissions.
     

  • DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) problems: The DPF is designed to trap and remove harmful particulate matter from diesel engine exhaust. However, the DPF can become clogged over time, leading to reduced engine performance and increased emissions. Cleaning or replacement of the DPF may be necessary.
     

  • Glow plug failure: Glow plugs are essential for starting a diesel engine, especially in cold weather. If glow plugs fail, the engine may be difficult to start or not start at all. Glow plug replacement may be required to resolve this issue.
     

  • Electrical system issues: Like any vehicle, diesel trucks can experience faulty wiring, dead batteries, or malfunctioning alternators. Proper diagnosis and repair by a qualified technician are necessary to address these issues.


Awareness of these common diesel truck repairs and addressing them promptly can help ensure your diesel truck remains reliable and efficient for years. Our skilled technicians can help you with complete diesel truck repairs for all types of trucks in Calgary.

HOW WEATHER AFFECTS YOUR DIESEL TRUCK AND HOW TO PREPARE

The harsh winters can put your diesel truck through some tough conditions. Cold temperatures can affect both the engine and battery, making regular winter preparations essential:
 

  • Cold weather: Diesel engines have trouble starting in extremely cold temperatures. Using winter-grade diesel fuel and a high-quality battery can help prevent starting issues.
     

  • Frozen fuel lines: Gelled fuel can clog fuel lines in freezing temperatures. Adding fuel additives that prevent gelling is essential for winter driving.
     

  • Battery care: Cold weather can also affect your truck's battery. Check the battery’s charge and condition regularly, especially during winter.


We offer comprehensive services, including fuel line treatments, battery checks, and coolant adjustments to ensure your truck performs well even in the coldest conditions. Speak to our team for more information.
