Big rig engine trouble not only disrupts a delivery, but possibly a paycheck too. If you encounter any problems under the hood of your semi and you’re in the San Antonio, Texas or Ocala, Florida areas, be sure to contact Billy Bob’ Repair & Tire. Our local semi truck repair experts can diagnose and repair any diesel engine problem with a heavy duty truck, including the following common issues.

1. Engine Overheating: Overheating is a common issue with semi-truck engines and can be caused by a variety of factors such as a failed radiator, low coolant levels, or a malfunctioning thermostat.
2. Engine Misfire: An engine misfire is when one or more cylinders in the engine are not firing properly, causing a loss of power, increased emissions, and reduced fuel efficiency.
3. Engine Knock: Engine knock is a knocking or pinging noise that occurs when the air/fuel mixture in the cylinders ignites too early, before the piston has completed its compression stroke.
4. Fuel System Problems: Fuel system problems can cause the engine to run poorly or not start at all. This can be caused by clogged fuel filters, faulty fuel injectors, or a malfunctioning fuel pump.
5. Turbocharger Failure: The turbocharger, if so equipped, is a critical component of the engine's air intake system and its failure can cause reduced engine performance and increased fuel consumption.
6. Exhaust System Problems: Issues with the exhaust system, such as a clogged muffler or damaged exhaust pipes, can cause decreased engine performance, increased emissions, and increased engine noise.
7. Engine Electronic Control Module (ECM) Failure: The ECM is the engine's computer and controls various engine functions. If it fails, it can cause the engine to run poorly or not start at all.
