When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years. So how long has diesel really been around, and why is it used the way it is today? At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne, MD, we have the answers.

Good steering is an underrated and often neglected aspect of commercial truck driving. At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne, we believe in making sure you have the best truck possible, whether you’re hauling something across town or across the country.

The exhaust on your truck is an important series of components, that work together to ensure smooth, reliable operation. At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne, we also know that exhaust systems are especially susceptible to damage and rust; pipes, mufflers, and other parts are exposed to hazards on the road, and to the environment. This situation, combined with caustic emissions and extreme heat, creates a perfect opportunity for problems to arise.

There comes a time in the life of every fleet vehicle or commercial truck when you have to decide - is it time to retire that truck or van, or should you put the money into fixing it? At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne, MD, we’re here to help.

Now that you’ve got an idea of the components that make up a diesel system, and what they do, understanding how the system works in a more cohesive way isn’t difficult. At Joppa Transmission & Auto Service in Joppatowne we understand what’s going on in your fuel system while your diesel engine is running.
