GM diesel work done to spec, from injector cups to Allison shift quality.

Duramax Repair

Every Duramax generation has its own personality. LB7 injectors live under the valve covers; LLY overheats when towing; LBZ and LMM ask about turbo vanes and glow plugs; LML and L5P bring CP4 and emissions questions. We diagnose to the generation, not to a generic diesel checklist.

Allison transmission concerns are handled in-house alongside the engine so the diagnosis is not split between two shops blaming each other.

Describe it to us

How we work it

The four steps, every time

  1. 01

    Generation ID

    RPO and VIN decode so parts and procedures match your exact truck.

  2. 02

    Fuel & air testing

    Return flow, rail pressure and boost testing separate injector faults from supply faults.

  3. 03

    Repair

    Torque-to-spec assembly, new seals and cups, and correct injector programming where required.

  4. 04

    Relearn

    Injector balance rates and transmission adaptives are relearned before the truck leaves.

Questions

Straight answers

Do LB7 injectors have extended coverage?

Original GM coverage has long expired on most trucks. We quote the full job including the required programming.

Can you fix an Allison without replacing it?

Often yes. Many shift complaints are solenoid, fluid or adaptive issues, not a failed transmission.

Do you clean turbo vanes or replace the turbo?

We inspect first. A sooted-up vane assembly can be cleaned; a worn shaft or damaged actuator gets replaced.
