diesel

It’s important to keep you Duramax, Cummins, or Power stroke diesel in shape and running strong. Let the technicians at Harold's Used Auto Parts Inc in Philadelphia, PA keep your Chevy, Ford, or Ram pickup in great shape and ready for anything.

Diesel engines are built tough, but they work hard. While your pickup was made with reliability in mind, even the best engines on the market need maintenance and repair sometimes. A major issue to watch out for is head gasket problems; diesel engines are high compression, and constantly under a large load. As a result, head gasket issues will eventually arise, and it’s essential you get them taken care of as soon as possible.

Watch out for oil in your coolant, or coolant in your oil. You should never see condensation or coagulation on the dipstick or oil cap, and your coolant shouldn’t be black. If you notice either of these symptoms, a head gasket is most likely at fault.

The most important thing to remember when facing a potential head gasket issue is to get it taken care of, now. It’s easy to keep driving, as long as the truck is running well, putting it off for another day. But the fact of the matter is, doing so only prolongs the inevitable, and causes more damage. Cooling components will collect sludge, corrosion of your block and head will occur, significant loss of horsepower becomes a problem, and the list goes on. If you see a head gasket issue in the works, let us know.

For all your diesel repair and maintenance needs, we’ve got you covered. Harold's Used Auto Parts Inc is home to the best truck technicians in Philadelphia, PA, where we specialize in everything diesel. For the greatest diesel service shop, you’ll find anywhere, call or stop by today.
