How to check problems that a Heavy Duty Truck diesel engine or its components could have

a) Check for cold water leaks: Look underneath the truck and see if You see any kind of a drop of cooling or oil, then your Heavy Duty Truck engine could require a repair

b) Check hoses: Typically, you’ll see water starting to beat up around the hoses.

c) Check the front of the radiator: See if you see any kind of coolant on the inside of the radiator and on the front. If you don’t see any coolant then you go over to the compressor and check the compressor and check around the coolant hoses on the compressor. They’re actually, deep in there where those fittings are. those are cool hoses. Check those for coolant and check the head of the compressor for cold weeks. Signs like these would help you figure out that your heavy-duty truck engine needs repair

d) Check for coolant leaks around the thermostat housing and the coolant reservoir. A common area for a coolant leak is on the water pump in a heavy-duty truck engine. Check the front of the water pump and the back of it. Check all these hoses that are going into your EGR cooler typically when cold water leaks happen, you’ll see them bubble up from right here, and then check them on the back again. We’re going to check the head for any sorts of signs of cooling.

Another place where a leak could happen is on top of the turbo actuator. This area is critical and any sort of leakage in there means your heavy-duty truck engine repair is imminent.

e) Check engine oil: We should check the engine oil for two things:

1) See if it’s low.

2) See if it’s overfull.

if it’s low why is it low and two if it’s overfull why is it over full. Make sure there’s no contamination in the oil or the oil isn’t contaminating something else. Contaminated Oil is the most important factor which could lead to heavy-duty truck engine repair.

g) Check the coolant level.

i) Checking for contamination.

we’re looking for three things

  • We’re looking for oil
  • We’re looking for fuel
  • We’re looking for combustion gas

a) Oil Contamination in the heavy-duty truck engine: the way to do that is to see if the oil looks milky, if it looks milky it’s more than likely oil contamination.

b) Fuel Contamination in the heavy-duty truck engine: typically you’ll see it kind of separate it’s a little tougher to find but smell it and if you smell fuel in the coolant then you know you’re probably contaminated with fuel combustion gas. Get your Heavy-duty truck engine checked as this could lead to a major repair in the future.

c) Combustion gas in heavy-duty truck engine: An easy way to kind of look, for combustion gases contamination, is, look at the top of your radiator reservoir, it’ll kind of brittle kind of black the top of these coolant reservoirs, typically that means you have a head gasket issue and your heavy-duty truck engine requires repair.

Another way to test it is to start the truck and see what type of pressure it’s engine is building. if coolant is going over the overflow tube or blowing: out of the overflow tube.

Check fuel for oil contamination like algae buildup or something else that could be contaminating that fuel.

J) Check your intake start from your air cleaners: follow your pipes all the way down to check for any sorts of rips or tears in the boots or in these pipes here check all the way down through your turbo. Check those for both intake and exhaust sides in your heavy-duty truck engine.

k) Check the exhaust: The exhaust is a little easier to find because it’ll typically blow out black smoke if you got an exhaust lead. This means a serious issue with your heavy-duty truck engine and better get it repaired fast.

L) Check for wiring problems: there’s wiring all over newer motors so check to make sure, all the wiring is secured. Check for chafing, check for burn marks and also check for broken connectors

M) Check engine lights: Turn on the heavy-duty truck engine to see if engine lights pop up. This is the easiest way to find out in case your heavy-duty truck engine requires repair or not.

N) You also want to check all truck gauges, check to monitor truck pressures, truck temperatures, truck oil pressure, check truck coolant temperature, and truck boost gauge.

o) Engine oil leaks: The biggest factor that could cause the repair to your heavy-duty truck engine. Checking for engine oil leaks, always check the biggest components of the heavy duty truck engine that could ask for some repair, i.e. around the head underneath the head gasket.

 Some of the Problems in heavy-duty truck engine and how to rectify/Repair them

a) Diesel runaway: It’s going to be something along the lines of your heavy duty truck engines going to start revving extremely high which heavy duty truck diesel engines, generally speaking, don’t want to do and also when it happens you’re going to notice that even if you turn off your key the engine just doesn’t want to turn off, now a symptom of when this runaway condition that’s going to happen is when your vehicle or your heavy-duty truck engine is actually pretty much running out of control at an extremely high rpm. Heavy-duty truck Diesel engines don’t like to run at high rpm’s, they’re not meant for that they’re meant to run at low rpm’s. This Could damage the valves, Block, Pistons, cylinder, or core itself leading to a major restoration of your heavy-duty truck engine.

B) Heavy-duty truck Engine lubrication

There’s a lot of questions on which oil should I use which one’s better synthetic or non-synthetic. The best way to find out is to look inside the manual book owner’s manual for whatever vehicle it is you’re driving whether it’s a heavy-duty truck, a tractor, a diesel truck probably even a locomotive. it’s probably going to tell you exactly what type of oil that the manufacturer recommends, it’ll also tell you probably a recommendation for certain temperatures, different altitudes, there’s a lot of different things that can affect this. Making sure putting in the right oil would go help in increasing the longevity of your heavy-duty truck engine and help you cut down its restoration cost.

One of the common things you’re probably going to notice when this situation happens is you’re probably that your vehicle has a hard time starting and that’s due to having improper oil viscosity.

C) Glow plugs

They’re definitely a wear item and they tend to go bad. Heavy-duty truck Diesel engines use glow plugs to heat up the air prior to starting the engine. Glow plugs have a little heating element inside of them. In case of any problem with Glow plugs you’re probably going to notice that your Heavy-duty truck engines having a hard time starting and as the issues continue to move along maybe one glow plugs bad or even several. The engines going to have an even hard time starting in which case it only really makes sense if you’re having an issue have it checked out and get those glow plugs replaced.

D) Black smoke

The most easily detectable sign that your heavy-duty truck engine requires repair. You have an improper fuel to air ratio. This could be because of several factors

1)Old air Filter

2)Clogged fuel injector

3) Injector pump for the fuel

4)EGR valve is clogged up maybe with carbon

5)turbocharger if you have a turbo engine
