Times change. At one time, the term “diesel fuel” referred to dense, high-energy petroleum fuels used in industrial, construction and transportation equipment and vehicles. Today, the term “petro-diesel” refers to petroleum fuels, while “bio-diesel” refers to those derived from plant-based sources. Contaminated diesel fuel can wreck havoc on the new fuel systems. If you think there is a problem, get it checked out ASAP to avoid major repairs down the road!!!!!
If you are not sure what to do about collision damage to your truck, or the extent of work needed, call us and describe the problem; we will help you get things straightened out.
You can't meet your schedule when your truck is in the repair shop. That's why it's critical to establish a regular schedule of preventive maintenance.
While radiator hoses are fairly easy to inspect and change out in most cases, there are some that you’d be better off leaving to professionals. These generally require specialized tools to remove or are in very hard-to-reach places, so it would be nearly impossible to do on your own.
Noble Truck & Diesel Repair LLC updated their info in the about section.
One issue that sometimes comes up with tractor trailer air suspension systems is issues with the bushings. Basically, the bushings need to be properly torqued when installed or they will either be crushed (when over-torqued) or move around and wear prematurely (when under-torqued).
Have you noticed that your truck’s steering seems to be stiff? This could be something as simple as low power steering fluid or a loose belt, but it can also be a sign of a bad steering pump or a defective gear box!

Did you know that improper pressure in your semi truck’s radiator can lead to overheating? This is most often caused by a faulty radiator cap. Your technician will pressure test the cap and replace it if needed.
While most newer trucks’ u-joints are sealed and don’t require periodic lubrication, they need to be inspected on an bi-annual basis. We will also inspect your joints every time your vehicle is here for other maintenance and repairs!
In addition to reducing the emission of gases into the air, the crankcase ventilation system is also designed to improve the air-quality in the passenger compartment as well as improving engine efficiency. Have the system serviced regularly to avoid turbo failures and oil leaks!
Not only have fatal crashes decreased, but semi trucks involved in collisions resulting in injuries also decreased by 18%. The drop has been from 94,000 reported crashes to 77,000 reported crashes over the last 10 years.
Drop-in truck bed liners are a good option for pickup owners who do not want a permanent coating in their truck bed. Drop-in liners are custom-fit for your own make, model, and style of truck, and work the same as permanent ones, forming a protective shield between your truck bed and objects placed on it.
Transmission cooler lines leaking or gumming up are a problematic issue for many diesel pickup truck owners. Most often this is the result of a faulty line or bad installation, which can be remedied quite easily with professional service.
Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving, from Noble Truck and Diesel Repair! Enjoy your family and loved ones!
A truck without a customized paint job is like a slice of apple pie without a huge scoop of ice cream. It still may be good, but it could really be so much better.
The Electronic Control Unit (ECU) monitors and controls the workings of the engine in your semi. When it detects a problem, it triggers the appropriate warning light, a signal that something is malfunctioning, and repairs may be needed. Do not throw parts at you truck, It is cheaper to pay for professional diagnostics and know the money you are spending is not being wasted! Give us a call!
Diesel engines cause ignition by compression, which throws out a lot of force. This means diesel engines are built to be tough and durable, but it also means small issues can easily become big ones when the force hits them. Fortunately, a diesel engine expert can fix any problem, big or small.
For more than 100 years, diesel engines have ruled the roads, but a new version is in the design stages. It uses advanced technology to assess load, evaluate road conditions, calculate the most fuel efficient speed, and adjust automatically to maintain that speed.
Dirty oil will harm your turbocharger faster than any other part of your semi’s diesel engine. Oil keeps the turbocharger lubricated and cool and is the barrier between it and other metal. Dirty oil does not provide this protection, and any contaminants will add to the damage. We have both regular 15w40 heavy duty diesel engine oil and Synthetic oil in stock!
One of the most common problems that pickup truck owners face is truck bed problems. Many trucks develop wearing spots—dents, deep grooves, and rust or material stains—from excessive use of the truck bed.
Times change. In the 1970s, diesel powered semi trucks got less than 6 mpg, but today many average between 6 and 8 mpg. As of 2014, all semis with sleeper cabs are required to average 7.2 mpg on level roads to meet current fuel efficiency standards.
The power you can get from diesel engines means that they’re worked hard, such as for towing or hauling large loads. This stress can turn small issues into huge problems, but regular maintenance from a diesel expert can spot these issues while they’re still small.
Although semi-trucks are notorious for being gas guzzlers, manufacturers are working very hard to try to make them more fuel efficient. Innovations include increasing the aerodynamics with fairings that hide a trailer’s leading edge and side skirts that reduce wind turbulence.
Even just a 2 inch misalignment between steer and drive tires can make a big difference when it comes to driving efficiency. In fact, if the tractor has a wheelbase of 181 inches, over a year the misalignment would amount to driving the tires sideways for about 1,100 miles.
Did you know that the current federal definition of a compression ignition diesel engine is based on the engine cycle rather than the ignition mechanism? The presence of a throttle is an indicator to distinguish between diesel cycle and otto cycle operation.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays to everyone! Noble Truck and Diesel Repair, hopes everyone is healthy these holidays! We will reopen for business on 12/28 at 8am!
When the parking brake cannot be set, it is probably because of problems in the pressure delivery system, usually because pressure will not release. Repair or replacement of faulty parts is needed.
When it comes to trucks, tires are more important than ever. For all tire replacements, it is essential to ensure that the right types of tires are used – truck drivers who haul heavy loads also need to check their tire pressure more frequently than recommended.
When cars and trucks started showing up in the late 1800s and early 1900s, they used the same painting systems as old horse-drawn carriages. That means they were painted and then varnished by hand, with all of the paint and varnish air-dried between layers.
Your drivers can decrease their chances of a roadside inspection by watching their weight and driving courteously. Make sure drivers check the vehicle’s weight before heading down the road and ensure that they also drive the speed limit.
Proper maintenance of your filtration system is critical for proper engine health. Your filters are what keep moisture and contaminants out of the engine, which can save you from expensive repairs down the road.
Insurance is a huge cost for trucking companies. A way to keep costs down is to have truck speed limits set up in the computer. If you have had accidents or speeding tickets, this is a very easy way to reduce those occurrence's.
Before you begin using bio-fuel, check with us. Using more than is recommended for any given diesel engine can lead to failure of injectors, and may be diagnosed as an FICM problem. If we know you are using bio-diesel, it makes maintenance easier and less expensive.
Soot production is natural to diesel engines and there are normal levels that will not impede operation. However, if the engine is not monitored and maintained, soot contamination can develop, resulting in clogged air filters, poor timing, and other issues that require engine maintenance and repair.
A large part of truckers operational cost is fuel. Having your overhead adjusted properly not only gives you better fuel economy but it also makes your engine operate more efficiently! Reducing the amount of regenerations and aftertreatment repairs!
In tractor trailer air suspension systems, holes appearing in the rubber walls are the most common type of failure seen and usually caused by misalignment of the bag. If the rubber is torn or pulled from the top or bottom plates, this is usually due to the spring being overextended.
One area on diesel truck engines which requires frequent checks and sometimes additional maintenance are the gaskets. On diesels, the gaskets are often under increased wear and tear – so it is a good idea to periodically check the mountain bolts and to look for any leaks.
Do you know that the EPA’s vehicle emission standards for trucks as well as cars have been in place since the 1970s? Since that time, emission standards have become increasingly stringent as air pollution has become a more prominent issue.
We recommend always following the engine manufacturer’s preferences when it comes to the proper mix of coolant and water (in most trucks, this is a 50/50 blend). If there is too much coolant, it will gel, and your radiator will fail. Too little, and it will not cool properly.
In terms of alignment, camber refers to the tilt of the tires as seen in a front view of the tractor trailer. Positive camber exists when the tires are closer together at the point of road contact, and negative camper exists when the tires are closer together at the top.

What’s old is new again. Few people realize the motorized truck invented by Gottlieb Daimler in 1896 was an early version of a hybrid vehicle. It featured a two-cylinder, 4-hp engine that could run on different fuels including gas, coal gas and lamp fuel.
If you find the slightest trace of radiator fluid in your oil, bring your rig into the shop without delay. Even small amounts of the glycol in radiator fluid can cause significant damage to your engine.
