Caterpillar Engine Repair in North Charleston, SC

Caterpillar engines are well-known for their power and durability, but like any diesel engine, they need regular maintenance to perform optimally. From fuel injection issues to ECM errors and engine compression problems, neglect can result in reduced efficiency or even total engine failure. At General Diesel, we provide comprehensive CAT engine repair and maintenance services to keep your equipment operating smoothly.

If you notice white smoke, excessive oil consumption, or your engine isn’t performing as it used to, these could be signs of a more serious problem. We can inspect and address issues related to the timing belt, faulty cylinder head gaskets, or inconsistent fuel delivery from your fuel injection system. Our team uses OEM-level tools to conduct thorough diagnostics, ensuring that every component—right down to the electronic control module (ECM)—operates as intended.

What Happens If You Don’t Maintain a CAT Engine?

Failing to maintain a CAT engine can lead to major and expensive damage. Components like the fuel system, ECM, and gaskets are all prone to wear and failure over time. Without regular inspections and servicing, performance declines quickly, and repairs become considerably more costly in the long term.

How Long Do CAT Diesel Engines Typically Last?

A well-maintained CAT diesel engine can easily surpass 500,000 miles and, in many cases, even achieve the million-mile mark. However, longevity heavily relies on routine maintenance and prompt attention to warning signs. Regular oil changes, fuel system cleanings, and diagnostics can greatly extend the life of your engine.
