Duramax Diesel Repair in Angola, IN
Diagnostics • Drivability • Fuel System & Injector Concerns • Turbo/Boost • Cooling • Aftertreatment Support
Duramax-powered GM trucks are built for towing, hauling, and long miles—but when warning lights appear or power drops, you need accurate diagnostics to prevent downtime and costly repairs. At Lonsbury Garage in Angola, IN, we provide professional Duramax diesel diagnostics and repair for GM trucks. We focus on testing first, then recommending the repair plan that actually solves the issue.
Common Duramax Problems We Diagnose
If you notice any of the following, schedule Duramax service:
- Check Engine light, service messages, or warning indicators
- Reduced power / limp mode or sluggish acceleration
- Hard starting, rough idle, or extended crank
- Fuel smell or signs of a fuel leak
- Smoke or abnormal exhaust odor
- Turbo/boost issues (underboost/overboost codes, lack of pull, boost leaks)
- Overheating, coolant loss, or temperature spikes under load
- DPF / regen warnings or frequent regenerations (as equipped)
Duramax Diagnostics That Prevent Guesswork
Modern Duramax platforms rely on precise sensor data and control strategies. We diagnose concerns with a test plan that may include:
- Computer scan for engine and emissions-related faults
- Live data analysis for fuel pressure, boost, temperatures, and system commands
- Visual inspection for leaks, damaged wiring, and intake/charge air issues
- Boost and intake checks to locate leaks and restrictions
- Cooling system testing to verify pressure integrity and operating temp
- Road test verification under real conditions when appropriate
Fuel System & Injector-Related Concerns
If your Duramax has hard starting, rough idle, smoke, or power loss, the fuel system and injectors are often part of the diagnostic picture. Our approach focuses on confirming the cause—so you’re not replacing expensive parts without proof. Service may include:
- Fuel pressure diagnosis and system performance verification
- Leak checks and fuel odor inspections
- Data-driven drivability testing to identify contributing conditions
- Repair recommendations based on testing and verified results
Turbo/Boost & Airflow Problems
Boost issues can come from leaks, control concerns, sensor errors, or restrictions. We inspect the intake and charge air system, verify sensor readings, and test conditions that cause underboost/overboost symptoms.
Emissions & Aftertreatment Support (As Equipped)
On newer Duramax trucks, aftertreatment systems can contribute to warning lights, reduced power, and frequent regens. If you’re dealing with DPF messages or exhaust system codes, we can diagnose supporting issues like exhaust leaks and sensor faults, and confirm why regeneration isn’t completing properly.

Duramax Diesel FAQs
Why does my Duramax say “Reduced Engine Power”?
This message can be triggered by sensor faults, fuel pressure issues, boost problems, overheating, or emissions-related concerns. A scan and targeted testing is the fastest way to identify the root cause and prevent repeat repairs.
Why is my Duramax regenerating more often?
Frequent regens can be caused by operating conditions (short trips/idling), exhaust leaks, sensor issues, or engine performance problems that increase soot. We verify data and system behavior to find why soot load is increasing quickly.
Do you service towing and work trucks?
Yes. We understand downtime matters—especially for towing, hauling, and commercial use. We focus on accurate diagnostics and practical repair plans.
