DIESEL ENGINE REPAIR SERVICES

We handle the full range of diesel engine repairs at our Moody, TX shop. Here’s a breakdown of the most common repair services we provide.

Diesel Engine Rebuilds & Overhauls

When your diesel engine has reached the end of its service life or suffered major internal damage, a proper rebuild is often the most cost-effective path forward. We perform complete engine overhauls using quality parts designed to meet or exceed OEM specifications.

Fuel Injector Service & Replacement

Diesel fuel injectors operate under extreme pressure and are critical to engine performance and fuel economy. We clean, test, and replace injectors on all major diesel platforms including Power Stroke, Duramax, and Cummins engines.

Turbocharger Repair & Replacement

A failing turbocharger can cause low power, excessive smoke, and eventual engine damage. We diagnose turbo issues, perform shaft and bearing inspections, and replace failed units with quality replacement turbos.

Diesel engines generate tremendous heat and depend on a properly functioning cooling system. We repair and flush cooling systems, replace water pumps, thermostats, and coolant hoses, and address head gasket issues before they become catastrophic.

DIESEL REPAIR FAQ

What diesel truck brands do you repair in Moody, TX?

Braxton’s Diesel Works repairs all major diesel truck platforms, including Ford Power Stroke (6.0, 6.4, and 6.7), Chevrolet and GMC Duramax (LB7 through L5P), and Ram Cummins (5.9 and 6.7).

Do you offer a warranty on diesel engine repairs?

Yes — we stand behind our work. We use quality parts and take the time to do the job right the first time. Ask us about our repair warranty when you bring your truck in. The specifics vary by repair type and parts used, and we’ll walk you through everything upfront.

How do I know if my diesel engine needs a repair or a full rebuild?

That’s exactly what our diagnostic process is designed to determine. We start with a thorough inspection and diagnostic scan before recommending any repair. In many cases, targeted repairs are far more cost-effective than a full rebuild. We’ll give you an honest assessment of your options and the expected lifespan of each path forward.

My diesel truck is blowing black or white smoke. What does that mean?

Smoke color is a key diagnostic indicator on diesel trucks. Black smoke typically points to a fuel delivery issue — over-fueling, a bad injector, or a clogged air filter. White smoke often indicates coolant entering the combustion chamber, which can signal a head gasket or injector sleeve issue. Blue smoke usually means oil is being burned. Any of these symptoms warrant a diagnostic inspection as soon as possible.

How long does a diesel engine repair typically take?

Repair time varies significantly based on the type of work involved. Minor repairs like injector replacement or a cooling system flush can often be completed same-day or next-day. Major work like an engine rebuild or head gasket repair may take several days. We’ll give you a realistic timeline estimate before we begin and keep you updated throughout the process.

Can I bring my diesel truck in for repair if it's not starting?

Absolutely. We handle no-start diagnostics and repairs regularly. If your truck won’t start, call us at 254-366-9669 and we’ll discuss your options for getting the vehicle to our shop at 251 North Ridge Drive in Moody, TX. In some cases we can provide guidance over the phone to help you determine whether the truck is safe to drive or needs to be trailered in.
