🤝 GREAT TO CATCH UP WITH SOME OF OUR CUSTOMERS! 🚛🇦🇺

It was great to have Michael and Robb from M & M Betts P/L - Freight Specialists, call into the LW Diesel yard this week!

Based in Newcastle, NSW, M & M Betts have trucks travelling all over Australia, and we’re proud to be able to support their fleet and keep their operations moving whenever they’re up here in Queensland. 🔧💪

It’s always good to put the tools down for a few minutes, catch up with the people behind the businesses we work with and build on the relationships that make this industry what it is.

A big thanks to Michael and Robb for taking the time to drop in and for bringing a few new hats for the LW Diesel team! Much appreciated, fellas! 🧢👍

Safe travels, and we look forward to seeing you both again!

After a full engine change-out and a whole lot of attention to detail, this truck left our workshop fitted with a brand-new-to-the-truck Reman C15 ACERT engine and a long list of supporting work to get it back to work where it belongs. 💪

✅ Reman C15 ACERT engine fitted
✅ Radiator refurbished
✅ Brand-new intercooler
✅ New clutch fitted
✅ Front of gearbox rebuilt
✅ All new engine and gearbox mounts
✅ All fuel lines replaced
✅ All power steering lines replaced
✅ All gearbox cooler lines replaced
✅ Compressor discharge and governor lines replaced
✅ Complete new exhaust system from turbo to stacks
✅ New starter, alternator and battery cables

The whole job was completed in-house, with everything brought back to factory fitment.

It’s been a bloody busy few weeks here at LW Diesel & Contracting Services! 🔧🔥

A bit of a photo dump to show what we’ve been up to — from plenty of engine work and repairs, through to brand new trailer chassis builds and everything in between.

The workshop hasn’t had much of a chance to slow down, and looking at what’s already booked in, there’s plenty more of the exact same coming at us hard and fast again this month! 💪

Big engines, big trucks, new builds and keeping the transport industry moving — that’s what we do. 🚛🔧

Thanks to all our customers for keeping us busy and continuing to put their gear in our hands. We appreciate the support!

Another fresh new chassis in the build process.

A Sunday afternoon breakdown call turned into a major engine repair.

This Cummins Signature came in with a severe engine miss. After diagnosing the fault, we stripped the engine down and found major damage to the cylinder head and injectors.

After replacing the damaged components, carrying out the necessary repairs and thorough testing, this truck is back on the road and ready to get back to work.

Another quality repair completed by LW Diesel & Contracting Services Pty Ltd. 🚛🔧
