Our heavy duty services include:

Cylinder Block
A cylinder block is the powerhouse for the motor vehicle. The solid cast truck part houses the cylinders and their components (gaskets, valves, and seals) inside a lubricated and cooled crankcase. Since it is one of the most important parts of your truck, the block is designed to be extremely strong and sturdy. Although strong and sturdy, the block is susceptible to failure resulting in a vehicle that won't start. Cracked blocks, porous blocks, core plug, or freeze plug failure are some of the problems facing cylinder blocks. Call 520-367-4087 to talk to the mechanics of Diesel 1 about your cylinder block problems.

Cylinder Head
A cylinder head is the closed end of a cylinder (located in a truck's engine block). It sits above the cylinder block, closing the top of the cylinder and forming the combustion chamber. The cylinder head coordinates airflow in and out of the engine. Since the cylinder head's chief function is to seal the cylinders properly, insufficient compression results in the truck being difficult to drive. To have your cylinder head checked and repaired, talk to Diesel 1's cylinder head repair and reconditioning specialists today.

Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines, they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:

• Changing the oil & filter
• Changing the air filter
• Changing the fuel filter
• Bleeding the fuel system
• Draining the water separators
• Refilling the urea injection system

You can count on the experts at Diesel 1 to help your diesel engine last a long time.

Engine Maintenance
Any truck part manufacturer will tell you that preventive maintenance is critical to the part's lifespan. Like other auto parts, truck engines aren't built to last forever. However, you can increase the engine's lifespan by performing regular preventive maintenance. The easiest way to maintain peak performance and fuel economy is to provide regular engine maintenance for your vehicle. To have your engine maintained by experts, visit Diesel 1.

Engine Repair and Rebuild
After years of use, your truck's engine inevitably deteriorates. If your truck needs a new engine and you are not ready to invest in a new truck, consider having the engine rebuilt. This involves replacing or resurfacing all the rundown parts in an engine. Regardless of your engine replacement needs, Diesel 1 has experienced engine rebuilders ready to assist you.

Engine Replacement
The engine converts energy into useful mechanical motion. This amazing machine is what keeps your vehicle moving. Although generally reliable, a truck engine is susceptible to damage and breakdown. When this happens, do not sit and stress over it. Take action. Take the vehicle to a mechanic for an engine replacement. Bring it to Diesel 1. Visit us at 261 West Fort Lowell Rd for quality engine replacement services.

Timing Belt
A timing belt is a part of your truck's internal combustion engine. The belt synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft rotation so that the engine valves open and close at the correct timings. Also, the belt prevents the piston from striking the valves in an interference engine. A timing belt is a rubber belt that usually features teeth on the inside surface, while a timing chain is a metal roller chain. Most trucks we drive now have timing belts instead of timing chains and gears. Although different manufacturers have their recommended mileage, you need to have your truck's timing belt checked regularly. To have it checked by experts, contact Diesel 1 today.
