Vehicle & Fleet Maintenance
At FOM Diesel, we can disassemble, clean, service, repair, and reassemble engine blocks to extend diesel engine lifespan. For over a century, diesel engines have earned a reputation for torque, reliability, fuel efficiency, and versatility. However, without proper maintenance or service, even dependable engines can develop internal or external problems over time. If a diesel engine lacks adequate maintenance or service, it may experience various internal or external issues. A poorly serviced diesel engine is likely to cause combustion system problems and could damage the entire system.

Tire Repairs & Replacement
When it comes to keeping diesel trucks on the road, proper tire maintenance and repair is crucial. At FOM Diesel LLC we understand the importance of having reliable tires for your heavy-duty vehicle. That's why we offer a wide range of truck tire services for our customers, including repair, replacement, and maintenance.
Tire Inspection - The first step in proper tire maintenance is regular inspection. We conduct a thorough examination of your tires to check for any signs of wear and tear, such as uneven tread wear, cuts, or punctures. We also check the air pressure to ensure that your tires are properly inflated, as this can greatly affect the wear and performance of your tires.
Tire Repair - Despite our best efforts to maintain our tires, it's inevitable that they will need to be repaired at some point. We offer a wide range of tire repair services including patching and plugging.
Patching - Patching is one of the most common forms of tire repair. This process involves removing the damaged area of the tire and patching it with a new piece of rubber. We use high-quality patches that are specifically designed for heavy-duty vehicles, ensuring that your tire will be back to its original condition.
Plugging - Plugging is another popular method of tire repair. This process involves inserting a plug into the punctured area of the tire, which helps to seal the hole and prevent further air loss. Plugging is a quick and efficient way to repair a punctured tire, and it's a cost-effective solution for small punctures.
Tire Replacement - Despite our best efforts to repair and maintain our tires, there will come a time when they need to be replaced. We offer a wide range of replacement options for our customers.
AC & Heating Repair
Air conditioner refrigerant naturally depletes over the years, losing up to 5% annually, compromising effectiveness. Constant use of the defroster also initiates the A/C to reduce window fogging for safer driving versus non-air-conditioned vehicles. Today’s optimized performance requires periodic examination.
At FOM Diesel LLC, Steven has the tools and expertise to diagnose and repair diesel truck air conditioning systems. We can identify leaks, assess the compressor and other components, and make necessary repairs promptly at competitive prices. An inspection is recommended if warm air circulation occurs. Our process involves a visual analysis of hoses, lines, seals and other parts for issues, temperature monitoring, verifying proper compressor functionality, and examining the drive belt for wear. Did you know this same belt powers ancillary systems? Failure could significantly impact drivability and safety beyond comfort.

Fuel System Maintenance & Repair
Delemination and leakage, injector pump failures and fuel filter problems, the list of diesel fuel tank issues goes on and on.
Whether your repair is covered through warranty, insurance, recall, or not covered at all, fuel tanks issues can be a major headache. Besides, with rising fuel prices, no one wants to waste money on fuel they don't even get to use.
Servicing and testing diesel fuel injectors is a decently complicated process. Sure, there are a lot of types of diesel fuel injectors, but we typically see two main types: mechanical (older) injectors which are less complex and common rail injectors that are more sophisticated.
One important note: common rail injectors can't handle poor quality fuel very well (which can be the source of problems). We see people upgrade their injectors all the time and then continue running the same diesel they've always run. If you're doing an upgrade, you need to look at upgrading your fuel quality too.
Signs your diesel fuel injectors need service:
Sign #1 — Smoking Engine
If your engine is smoking or just running rough in general, it might be time bring it in for service. We'll do an inspection and advise you on whether you need cleaning, repair, or replacement.
Sign #2 — Diesel Filter Regen
If your truck's diesel filter is regenerating more than usual, it might be time for a service on your fuel injectors. Remember, preventative maintenance is ALWAYS cheaper in the long run. Don't put off a problem you can fix today for a bigger one tomorrow.
One Important Note: Don't Service Injectors Yourself. No matter what you read on that blog or what your buddy Dave said, it's almost impossible to get the precision and accuracy necessary to test diesel fuel injectors without the right testing equipment.
Turbocharger Maintenance and Repair - Keep turbochargers in top shape to improve power and efficiency in diesel engines. Is your turbo acting up? Here are some signs it may need to be replaced:
⦁ You hear a loud whine when accelerating
⦁ Poor performance like sluggish acceleration
⦁ Decreased boost pressure
⦁ Smoke from the exhaust
⦁ Excess oil consumption
Don’t ignore these warning signs – a bad turbo can damage other components over time. The turbo replacement process involves safely removing your old unit and installing the new one. We’ll drain fluids, detach lines and brackets, and extract the turbo from the engine bay. Some models require additional steps like temporary engine removal for access. We’ll then test run the new turbo and refill all fluids.
Your engine will be back in shape in no time! You want quality and honesty, and that’s what we provide. We only use top-brand parts and have all the latest tools to do the job right. Our work comes with a guarantee, so you stay trouble-free for years.

Exhaust & Cooling System Repair
If your vehicle runs hot, you may need to have your cooling system serviced. The most important and effective way to ensure your cooling system stays in top shape is to make sure the system is clean.
The main components of a vehicle's cooling system include:
⦁ Radiator: The radiator is a device that is used to dissipate heat from the engine coolant. It is typically made of aluminum and consists of a series of tubes and fins that are cooled by air flowing through them. The coolant flows through the radiator and absorbs heat from the engine, and the cooled coolant is then circulated back to the engine.
⦁ Water pump: The water pump is a mechanical device that is used to circulate the coolant throughout the cooling system. It is driven by the engine and pumps the coolant through the radiator, engine, and other parts of the cooling system.
⦁ Thermostat: The thermostat is a valve that is used to regulate the flow of coolant through the radiator. It is located between the engine and the radiator and helps to ensure that the engine is operating at the optimal temperature by allowing coolant to flow through the radiator when needed and restricting the flow when the engine is already at the desired temperature.
⦁ Fan: The fan is used to help cool the radiator by drawing air through it. It is typically driven by an electric motor and can be controlled by the thermostat or the engine control unit (ECU).
No matter the problem, FOM Diesel can fix it and have you back on the road quickly and comfortably.
