About Our Heavy-Duty Truck Exhaust System Repair

Your truck's exhaust system does more than direct exhaust gases away from the engine. It supports engine performance, reduces noise, and works with the emissions system to help your truck operate efficiently and comply with emissions regulations. 

Trucks operating throughout North Charleston benefit from routine exhaust system inspections that help prevent restrictions, improve reliability, and protect connected emissions components.

    • Exhaust Leak Repair: Identify and repair leaking pipes, joints, clamps, and connections that can cause excessive noise, fumes, or reduced exhaust system performance.
    • Exhaust Pipe & Component Replacement: Replace damaged, rusted, cracked, or deteriorated exhaust piping and related components to restore proper exhaust flow.
    • Muffler Repair & Replacement: Address damaged or failing mufflers that contribute to excessive exhaust noise or restricted flow.
    • Exhaust Manifold Repair: Inspect manifolds, gaskets, and mounting hardware for cracks or leaks that can affect engine performance and allow exhaust gases to escape.
    • Exhaust Sensor Diagnostics: Test temperature, pressure, NOx, and other exhaust sensors when warning lights, fault codes, or regeneration problems develop.
  • Exhaust Changes That Can Indicate a Developing Problem

    Exhaust systems deal with constant heat, vibration, and exposure beneath the truck. Loose connections, cracks, failed mounts, or damaged piping can grow worse as the vehicle continues operating. Repairing these problems early can also help protect nearby emissions and engine components.

    • Loud Exhaust: Exhaust volume suddenly becomes much louder
    • Exhaust Odor: Fumes become noticeable around the vehicle
    • Visible Smoke: Exhaust color or volume changes
    • Pipe Damage: Cracks or holes appear in exhaust tubing
    • Rattling: Exhaust components move or vibrate excessively
    • Power Loss: Engine performance declines alongside exhaust problems

    "I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SHOP TO ANYONE IN THE AREA, NEEDING ANY REPAIRS DONE!!!!Every one of them were very polite, transparent, courteous, and respectful. My truck needed 2 new injectors, they ordered them IMMEDIATELY. Since the truck wasn’t going to be done that day, the one owner gave me a ride to the hotel, avoiding me from getting an uber. The next morning the other owner, out of his own pocket, got me an uber back to their shop. These guys are very knowledgeable in what they do!!"

    Kevin Vivis

I recently brought my vehicle into the shop last Friday and ask for it back by Wednesday. I really wasn’t expecting for the vehicle to be serviced and complete, but General Diesel had the issue with the vehicle complete by Tuesday evening. Thank you General Diesel. I will definitely be coming back soon!"

    Harris Borden

I would like to thank especially KENNY, who has years of experience in this business, and the owner of the business and the other employees. If you have a Kenworth truck, you should definitely go to GENERAL DIESEL, not a Kenworth dealer."
