Is your heavy-duty engine constantly failing you?
It's only realistic to think you will, from time to time, run into problems with your heavy-duty diesel engine. And when it does, all your efforts must be to get back on the road as soon as possible. It is of paramount importance that you can identify some of the most common issues that you encounter. Reasons may be many why diesel engine has been acting strangely. Unfortunately, ignoring those small, everyday maintenance issues over time - especially those that affect your equipment’s engines - is going to cost you. Therefore, it's critical to pay attention to the upkeep needs of your heavy-duty diesel engines. Here are some common signs of potential problems that heavy equipment operators should certainly not ignore.
Engines that make unusual noises should always be looked into. When you notice a strange noise emanating from your engine, first, make a note of when the engine makes the noise and what you are doing when it makes the sound. Also, check if the problem occurs when your engine is under load.
Perhaps your engine doesn’t make any noise, but engine temperature increases every time it’s under load.
Another sign your engine is struggling is low compression in your machinery’s engine cylinders. Your engine could have compression issues if you’re observing low power and poor fuel economy.
Ever run into a situation where your diesel engine will simply not start? If you face this problem, then first check the fuel supply, fuel pump, fuel lines, and fuel filters. Clogged filters could trigger the issue and will need to be changed.
Contaminated fuel and lack of clean air filters can also add to the problems your engine faces.
Certain engine failures could be attributed to excessive wear and tear and/ or deposit and sludge as a result of use of poor quality engine oils.
