EGR Systems

Signs of EGR Failure

Decreased Engine Performance: A failing EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) system can lead to a noticeable drop in engine performance. This can reduce power, acceleration, or fuel efficiency.

Engine Knocking: When the EGR system malfunctions, it can cause pre-ignition or knocking. This is due to the improper recirculation of exhaust gases, leading to higher combustion temperatures and potentially damaging the engine.

Check Engine Light: A lit check engine light could indicate various issues, including problems with the EGR system. Advanced diagnostic tools at Southside Diesel Repair can pinpoint the exact cause.

EGR Repairs

Valve Replacement: The EGR valve is crucial for controlling exhaust flow. Wear and tear can require replacement to ensure optimal engine performance and emissions control.

Cooler Cleaning/Replacement: The EGR cooler helps reduce exhaust temperature before recirculation. Over time, it can become clogged or damaged, requiring cleaning or replacement.

System Diagnostics and Sensor Repair: Accurate diagnostics are essential for identifying EGR issues. Sensor malfunctions are common and can be swiftly addressed by our skilled mechanics.

DPF Systems

Signs of DPF Failure

Reduced Fuel Economy: A clogged Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) can lead to increased fuel consumption as the engine struggles to compensate for the restricted exhaust flow.

Frequent Regeneration Cycles: If your truck's DPF system is undergoing frequent regeneration cycles, it's a sign of a problem that needs immediate attention.

Increased Engine Oil Levels: A failing DPF can cause diesel to leak into the oil system, leading to increased engine oil levels and potential engine damage.

DPF Repairs

Forced Regeneration: This involves using specialized equipment to burn off excess particulate matter, restoring the DPF's functionality without physical removal.

Deep Cleaning: For more severe cases, deep cleaning of the DPF is necessary to remove accumulated soot and ash.

Replacement or Repair: In cases where the DPF is damaged or beyond cleaning, replacement or extensive repair might be the only solution.
