Why Won't a Diesel Truck Start and How Our Technicians Diagnose No-Start Problems?
At Rollin’ Wrench Mobile Truck Repair, our experienced diesel technicians solve no-start problems for commercial trucks every week. A diesel engine needs strong battery power plus clean fuel and enough compression to fire without a spark. If any of these do not work, the engine might turn over slowly or be completely silent. The cold mornings help to make engine oil more viscous and drain batteries while making it more difficult for heavy duty trucks to start.
Frequent no starts from failed intake heaters, faulty starters, air in fuel lines and loose cables are also causes. Our diesel engine no-start diagnosis begins with a battery load test and a close check of every terminal. Then, we test to make sure the starter is drawing the correct start current, the alternator produces adequate output, and there are no hidden electrical issues. We will also read fault codes, check fuel pressure and check filters for water, gelling or air leaks.
When the batteries are just flat, our road side battery assistance provides a secure and expert jump start on location. Every time we jump start we use commercial grade boosters which will help keep sensitive engine computers safe from harm in case of voltage spike. When batteries cannot hold a charge, we replace them with matched sets to prevent uneven wear. Prior to departure, the engine starts reliably and the cause of the problem is clearly explained.
