Engine Issues
One of the most commonly reported problems with Peterbilt trucks is engine compression. Generally, this has been known to happen on trucks with higher mileage and is not typically an issue on newer trucks with lower mileage. If you’re experiencing this issue, or have a high-mileage truck that may be at risk, feel free to schedule an appointment. We’ll diagnose the issue and replace or repair your starter.
Fuel Pressure Issues
Another common problem that Peterbilt owners report is fuel pressure issues. Low fuel pressure is generally caused by a bad fuel pump or clogged fuel injectors. Not only can this issue be repaired, but it’s also easy to avoid. Preventative maintenance like changing your fuel filters and adding a fuel stabilizer is an excellent way to avoid fuel pressure issues.

What many may not know, is that improperly aligned truck wheels can result in an increased 2% cost of fuel and a 20% reduction in tire life. Improper wheel alignment results in an increase in rolling resistance of the tires, essentially, the tires are dragging down the road as opposed to rolling down the road. Professional truck alignment ensures that your tires meet the road at the proper angle. At Absolute Repair, we specialize in truck wheel alignment for larger vehicles. The bigger the better actually!
