Detroit Diesel Repair Services You Can Count On

Detroit Diesel engines are renowned for their exceptional performance, but even the best systems require regular attention. At General Diesel, we service Detroit engines across various models—from the Series 60 to the DD13 and DD15.

If you’re experiencing hard starts, excessive oil consumption, or a sudden decline in performance, don’t wait. These could indicate issues such as coolant leaks, DPF clogging, EGR valve failures, or turbocharger problems. Poor fuel economy may also indicate injector or ECM issues.

Our ASE Master-certified technicians utilize OEM-level diagnostics to assess and resolve issues accurately. We handle:

• EGR and DPF system cleaning and replacement
• Turbocharger diagnostics and repairs
• Fuel injector and rail repairs
• Oil system leak detection
• ECM updates and reprogramming

Regular maintenance includes oil and filter changes, valve adjustments, and thorough inspections of the aftertreatment system. Staying ahead of these services prevents costly downtime and keeps your truck operating efficiently.
