Diesel Engine Repair and Diagnostics

Hawkeye Diesel Repair specializes in diesel engine repair for Cummins, Detroit Diesel, PACCAR, and Navistar powerplants. We service engines ranging from the Cummins ISX15 and X15 to the Detroit DD13, DD15, and DD16.

Engine services we perform:

  • Injector testing and replacement (common rail and unit injector systems)
  • Turbocharger inspection, rebuild, and replacement (Holset, BorgWarner)
  • EGR valve and cooler service
  • DPF (diesel particulate filter) cleaning and replacement
  • SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system repair
  • DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) dosing unit service
  • Oil and coolant leak diagnosis
  • Overhead valve adjustment and cam follower replacement
  • Head gasket and cylinder liner replacement
  • Engine oil analysis to catch wear metals early

We use factory-level diagnostic tools, including Cummins INSITE, Detroit Diesel Diagnostic Link (DDDL), and PACCAR Davie4 software. These tools let us read fault codes, run forced regen cycles, and verify sensor data in real time.

Our Fort Worth diesel repair and Dallas diesel repair teams handle everything from minor tune-ups to full engine overhauls.

24/7 Mobile Diesel Repair Across the DFW Metroplex

Hawkeye Diesel Repair dispatches mobile diesel repair units to your location anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our service trucks carry diagnostic laptops, air tools, hydraulic jacks rated for 25 tons, and a full inventory of common filters, belts, hoses, and fluids.

How our mobile service works:

  1. You call 972-945-3183 and describe the problem.
  2. We dispatch a mobile unit from our Mansfield shop.
  3. Our mechanic arrives, diagnoses the issue, and completes the repair on-site.

We respond to breakdowns on I-20, I-35W, I-30, I-820, SH-360, and US-287 on a daily basis. Our mobile crews also service truck yards, distribution centers, and construction sites across Tarrant, Dallas, Denton, Parker, and Johnson counties.

Mobile diesel repair covers the same scope as in-shop service. We handle engine work, brake jobs, electrical troubleshooting, aftertreatment repair, and more at your location.

Our mobile service area covers ZIP codes 76063, 76001, 76002, 76010, 76011, 76028, 76031, 76036, 76040, 76065, 76084, 75104, 75134, 75137, 75146, 75150, 75159, and surrounding areas.

Heavy-Duty Jump Starts for Class 6-8 Trucks

Hawkeye Diesel Repair provides 12V and 24V heavy-duty jump starts for commercial diesel trucks stranded across DFW. Class 8 trucks typically run dual Group 31 batteries wired in series to create a 24V starting circuit. These systems need 1,500 to 3,000 cold cranking amps (CCA) to turn over a high-compression diesel engine.

Our mobile units carry commercial-grade 12V/24V jump packs with spark-proof clamps and reverse polarity protection. We jump start trucks with dead batteries caused by:

  • Extended idle time draining the battery bank
  • Faulty alternators failing to recharge during operation
  • Parasitic electrical draws from cab accessories
  • Extreme summer heat degrading battery cell chemistry

After the jump, we test the charging system with a load tester to check alternator output and battery health. If the batteries test weak, we can replace them on-site with Group 31 AGM or flooded lead-acid units.

A dead battery does not have to shut down your day. Call 972-945-3183 for a fast jump start anywhere in the DFW area.

Commercial Tire Change and Roadside Tire Service

Hawkeye Diesel Repair performs roadside tire changes on commercial trucks running 22.5-inch and 24.5-inch wheel assemblies. The most common sizes we handle are 295/75R22.5, 11R22.5, and 285/75R24.5 in steer, drive, and trailer positions.

Our tire service includes:

  • Removal of the damaged tire using torque-rated impact guns
  • Mounting and inflation of the replacement tire to manufacturer PSI specs (typically 100-110 PSI for steer, 95-105 PSI for drive)
  • Lug nut torquing to 450-500 ft-lbs per OEM specification
  • Visual inspection of brake components exposed during the tire change

A single flat tire on an 18-wheeler stops the entire load. Our mobile crews carry floor jacks and bottle jacks rated for axle weights up to 25,000 lbs. We get your truck rolling again, whether you are on I-35W in Fort Worth or parked at a loading dock in Dallas.

Emergency Diesel Fuel Delivery

Hawkeye Diesel Repair delivers #2 ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) directly to your truck when you run out of fuel on DFW roads. ULSD is the standard fuel for all 2007 and newer EPA-compliant diesel engines with DPF and SCR aftertreatment systems.

Common reasons drivers run dry:

  • Fuel gauge sender unit malfunction giving inaccurate readings
  • Unexpected detours or route changes
  • Fuel card processing errors at the pump
  • Miscalculated range on an unfamiliar route

We deliver enough fuel to get you to the nearest truck stop or fueling station. Our mobile units also carry DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) for topping off your SCR system if needed.

Running out of fuel can introduce air into the fuel system. On common-rail engines, this means you may need the system primed before the truck will restart. Our mechanics handle that process on-site.

Call 972-945-3183 for fuel delivery anywhere in the Dallas-Fort Worth service area.

Diesel Truck Lockout Service

Hawkeye Diesel Repair provides 24/7 lockout service for commercial diesel trucks across DFW. Semi-trucks and commercial vehicles use heavier locks, reinforced door mechanisms, and integrated security systems that standard automotive lockout tools cannot handle.

Lockout situations we respond to:

  • Keys locked inside the cab or sleeper berth
  • Broken key stuck in the ignition or door lock cylinder
  • Malfunctioning electronic keypad or push-button entry system
  • Frozen lock mechanisms after cold weather

Our technicians arrive with commercial-grade lockout kits designed for heavy-duty truck cabs. We gain entry without damaging your door seals, weather stripping, or locking mechanism.

You are back in your cab fast. Call 972-945-3183 for lockout service any time, day or night.

Brake Repair and Replacement

Hawkeye Diesel Repair services air brake systems on Class 6, 7, and 8 commercial trucks. Federal FMCSA regulations require functional brakes on every axle. Brake violations are the number one reason for out-of-service orders during DOT inspections.

Brake components we service:

  • S-cam brake shoe replacement and drum resurfacing
  • Air disc brake pad replacement (Bendix, WABCO, Meritor)
  • Slack adjuster inspection and replacement
  • Brake chamber and spring brake service
  • Air dryer cartridge replacement
  • ABS sensor and modulator valve diagnosis
  • Airline leak testing and repair

We adjust brakes to FMCSA stroke limits and verify pushrod travel with a calibrated gauge. Every brake job includes a full air system leak-down test.

Truck Transmission Repair and Replacement

Hawkeye Diesel Repair rebuilds and replaces manual and automatic transmissions in commercial diesel trucks. We service Eaton Fuller 10-, 13-, and 18-speed manual transmissions and Allison 3000 and 4000 series automatics.

Transmission problems we fix:

  • Hard shifting or gear grinding in manual units
  • Slipping or delayed engagement in Allison automatics
  • Clutch wear and flywheel resurfacing
  • Input shaft and countershaft bearing replacement
  • Shift tower and air line repair
  • Transmission control module (TCM) diagnosis

Transmission failure can sideline a truck for days. We stock common rebuild kits and clutch assemblies to keep downtime short.

A/C Repair and Climate Control Service

Hawkeye Diesel Repair diagnoses and repairs HVAC systems in commercial truck cabs and sleeper berths. Texas summers push cab temperatures past 140 degrees when the A/C fails. That creates a safety hazard and a DOT compliance concern for sleeper berth rest requirements.

A/C services we perform:

  • Refrigerant recovery, evacuation, and recharge (R-134a and R-1234yf systems)
  • Compressor clutch and bearing replacement
  • Condenser and evaporator core replacement
  • Blower motor and resistor repair
  • Heater core service
  • Cab air filter replacement

We use electronic leak detectors and UV dye to find refrigerant leaks before recharging the system. This prevents repeat failures and wasted refrigerant.

Wheel Alignment for Commercial Trucks

Hawkeye Diesel Repair performs wheel alignment on steer axles and tandem drive axles at our Mansfield shop. Misalignment causes uneven tire wear, increased fuel consumption, and poor handling that strains the driver.

We set toe, camber, and caster to OEM specifications for each make and model. Proper alignment on a Class 8 truck can extend steer tire life by 30% or more and reduce rolling resistance.

On-Site Fleet Inspections and Preventive Maintenance

Hawkeye Diesel Repair provides on-site inspections and preventive maintenance for commercial fleets based in the DFW area. We work with fleet managers to set up scheduled service intervals that match your operational pace.

Preventive maintenance includes:

  • Oil and filter changes using OEM-spec 15W-40 or 10W-30 diesel engine oil
  • Fuel filter replacement (primary and secondary)
  • Coolant system testing (pH, concentration, supplemental coolant additive levels)
  • Belt and hose inspection
  • Battery load testing
  • Air system moisture checks
  • DOT annual inspection preparation

Regular PM service catches small problems before they become expensive breakdowns on the road. We provide inspection reports for every unit we service.

Engine Oil Analysis

Hawkeye Diesel Repair offers engine oil analysis as part of our preventive maintenance program. A small oil sample gets sent to a lab for testing. The lab report shows wear metal counts (iron, copper, lead, aluminum), contaminant levels (silicon, sodium, potassium), and oil condition data (viscosity, soot loading, oxidation).

Oil analysis catches internal engine wear early. It can detect a developing bearing failure, coolant leak into the crankcase, or fuel dilution before the engine suffers major damage.

This service helps fleet managers make informed decisions about rebuild timing and extends engine life between overhauls.
