Know the Signs
Common Detroit Diesel Problems We Fix
Aftertreatment system derates
The DD15 aftertreatment system is complex. Failed NOx sensors, plugged DPF filters, bad DEF dosing valves, and 7th injector failures all trigger derates. We pinpoint the exact component — not just reset the codes.
Turbo compound failures
The DD15 and DD16 use a unique turbo compound unit that recovers exhaust energy. When the compound turbine or coupling fails, you lose power and fuel economy. This is a DD-specific repair that many shops misdiagnose.
ACRS injector issues
The Amplified Common Rail System on DD15/DD16 operates at extreme pressures. Injector failures cause rough running, white smoke, and fuel dilution in the oil. We can identify the bad injector on-site.
EGR cooler leaks
Internal cooler failure pushes coolant into the exhaust side. Signs include white smoke at startup, coolant loss, and a sweet smell from the exhaust. Catching this early prevents engine damage.
Oil separator failures
The DD-series oil separator (crankcase ventilation system) is a known wear item. A failed separator causes oil consumption, turbo seal damage, and blue/white smoke. We keep these in stock.
