Fleets: The Benefit to Outsourcing Repairs

There are many industries where heavy-duty trucks and equipment are the main asset. Trucking (or freight hauling), Construction, Military, and other industries absolutely thrive on this equipment. When trucks and heavy-duty equipment break down, it’s essential that repairs are done accurately and efficiently.

The benefits to outsourcing your diesel fleet repair services go beyond simply saving time and money. A good diesel shop will perform services that will benefit you long after your truck or equipment leaves the parking lot.

 

Technology and Training

With Flying Wrench Services, you can take advantage of the latest diagnostic technology. All of our mechanics take part in ongoing training each year to keep them up to date on all these technologies as well as any other changes in the industry.

 

Preventative Maintenance & Documentation

A good diesel shop will provide you with preventative maintenance documents and information using metrics and industry trends. You can use this information to keep your trucks and equipment operating for longer periods of time, to educate staff, and enhance driver training.


Roadside Assistance

Staffing in-house mechanics can get even more messy when you start sending them out to provide emergency roadside assistance. With Flying Wrench Services, you will have dependable, affordable roadside assistance you can count on if emergencies arise.

Outsourcing your diesel fleet repairs is a great way save time and money while eliminating extra moving parts from your business. In our changing economy, it could become an extremely expensive undertaking to fully staff your business with the right mechanics while providing them with all the resources to successfully keep you on the road.

If you would like a consultation on what we can do for your fleet, call us at (360) 638-0044 and ask for Bernie, George, or Chad.

Concerning Diesel Truck Trends in 2023

Some concerning trends have been occurring here in the shop during the first half of the year. Our main goal is to keep our customers on the road and not be vulnerable to breakdowns and the frustrations that occur during those times.

4th Gen Cummins, (2010-2017): We’ve observed multiple engine failures due to a heater grid mounting bolt breaking/ melting off, falling into the intake, and passing through the engine. This causes catastrophic engine failure and requires a replacement engine. There is a great preemptive solution built by Banks, check it out here: https://www.flyingwrench.net/product-page/monster-ram-intake-system-by-banks

6.7L Ford , S&S Motorsports has come out with a replacement for the problematic CP4 injection pump. For the vehicle with the disaster kit, it’s very helpful but not 100% effective. In comes the solution from S&S Motorsports teaming up with Pure Power Technologies. They developed a CP4 to DRC Conversion. This is a no-tune application and guarantees that lubrication fuel can not get into the injectors. Check out the write-up here: https://www.flyingwrench.net/product-page/6-7-powerstroke-s-s-cp4-to-dcr-pump-conversion-by-s-s-diesel-motorsport

We’ve observed a lot of fuel-related issues. Whether it’s plugged filters or pump and injector failure, fuel-related issues are on a steady rise. So here at Flying Wrench Services and Performance, we are recommending tightening filter replacements from 10,000 miles to 5,000 until this issue abates. Filters are cheap, injectors are expensive. We have also had great luck with Dynomite Diesel’s fuel treatment, Injector Protector, check it out here: https://www.flyingwrench.net/product-page/injector-protector

All these products and more are available through the shop. If you have any questions feel free to email George: [email protected] or Bernie : [email protected] to answer any questions.
