🔧🚨 2006 FORD F-250 SUPER DUTY — OIL IN THE DEGAS BOTTLE? WE FOUND THE LEAK! 🚨🔧

Another truck diagnosed, repaired, and ready to get back to work at Jason’s Auto! 💪🔥

This 2006 F-250 Super Duty came into our shop with a common 6.0 Power Stroke problem: oil leaking into the degas bottle.

🚨 THE INITIAL CONCERN:

❌ Oil in the degas bottle
❌ Oil cooler leaking
❌ Previous repair attempt had already been made
❌ Customer wanted reassurance that the same repair would not be repeated

A previous shop had attempted to repair the issue, but we don’t know exactly who performed the work—and honestly, that part isn’t important. What matters is what we documented during disassembly.

📸 We recorded the condition of the components and took detailed pictures throughout the teardown. This helped us verify what had been done previously and ensured the same repair was not repeated here. It also gave the customer confidence and reassurance in the work being performed at a reputable shop.

🔧 THE REPAIR:

The customer planned to do a lot of towing, so keeping the oil temperatures as low as possible was extremely important.

We installed a Bullet Proof Diesel external oil cooler kit with a 6.7-style oil cooler to provide a safer, more reliable cooling setup for the truck’s intended use.

✅ Oil cooler leak addressed
✅ External oil cooler system installed
✅ Cooling system flushed & inspected
✅ Repair documented with pictures
✅ Oil temperatures kept under better control
✅ Trucks ready for heavy towing

High oil temperatures can bake and harden seals in the high-pressure systems on these trucks, leading to future leaks and expensive repairs.

KEEP THE OIL COOL, AND YOU HELP PROTECT THE SEALS! 🔥❄️

This setup helps reduce the risk of future oil cooler problems while giving the customer the cooling capacity needed for frequent towing.

At Jason’s Auto, we document the repair, explain the options, and install the right parts for how the vehicle will actually be used. We don’t just repeat the same repair and hope for a different result! 😎

🔧🚨 2022 DODGE RAM 3500 — P063C CODE? WE FOUND THE REAL PROBLEM! 🚨🔧

This fleet 2022 Dodge Ram 3500 came into our shop with a P063C code and charging system concerns.

🚨 THE INITIAL DIAGNOSIS:

❌ P063C trouble code
❌ Charging system concerns
❌ Alternator suspected to be the problem
❌ Customer also noticed the alternator was noisy and replaced it due to its age

At first, the alternator appeared to be the likely cause. However, after further testing and in-depth diagnostics, we discovered the real issue wasn’t the alternator—it was a WIRING PROBLEM BETWEEN THE PCM AND THE CHARGING SYSTEM!

⚡ The wiring issue was preventing the PCM from properly monitoring and controlling the alternator, causing the P063C code to set.

🔧 THE FIX:

✅ PCM wiring circuit tested
✅ Faulty wiring located
✅ Wiring issue repaired
✅ New alternator installed due to age and noise
✅ Charging system operation verified
✅ P063C code resolved
✅ Truck ready to get back to work

This is why proper diagnostics matter! Replacing the alternator alone would not have corrected the underlying wiring problem.

THE PART MAY BE NEW, BUT IF THE CIRCUIT CONTROLLING IT IS DAMAGED, THE PROBLEM CAN STILL REMAIN! 💡

At Jason’s Auto, we don’t just replace parts based on a trouble code. We test the entire system to find the ROOT CAUSE and make the correct repair the first time! 😎

🔧 OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

• Diesel diagnostics & repair
• Charging system diagnostics
• Advanced electrical diagnostics
• PCM wiring and circuit repair
• Transmission rebuilding & repair
• Computer module & communication diagnostics
• General automotive repair
• Light-duty & medium-duty trucks
• Fleet maintenance & personal vehicles

🔧🚨 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO — SERVICE POWER STEERING? NO PROBLEM! 🚨🔧

This 2015 Chevrolet Silverado was TOWED INTO OUR SHOP after the customer experienced multiple electrical issues!

🚨 THE PROBLEMS:

❌ Service Power Steering warning message
❌ Complete loss of power steering
❌ Truck stuck in 4WD
❌ Electrical communication issues

These trucks are known for problems involving the electric power steering rack, communication circuits, and faulty ground connections.

Unfortunately, electrical issues like these can lead to some VERY expensive repairs when they aren’t diagnosed correctly! 💸

But at Jason’s Auto, we don’t believe in throwing expensive parts at a problem and hoping for the best! 😎

⚡ After extensive electrical diagnostics and testing of the power steering system, we traced the problem to a BROKEN COMMUNICATION WIRE!

🔧 Instead of replacing an expensive electric rack-and-pinion assembly or unnecessary modules, we repaired the damaged communication circuit and got this Silverado ready to get back on the road! 🔥

✅ Advanced electrical diagnostics
✅ Broken communication circuit located
✅ Wiring repaired instead of replacing expensive components
✅ No unnecessary rack-and-pinion replacement
✅ Customer saves money
✅ Another truck back on the road!

WHY REPLACE EXPENSIVE PARTS WHEN THE REAL PROBLEM IS A BROKEN WIRE? 🤔💰

Modern vehicles are loaded with computers, modules, and communication networks. One damaged wire can cause multiple systems to malfunction!

At Jason’s Auto, we take the time to find the ROOT CAUSE instead of just replacing parts until something works!

🔧 OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

• Diesel diagnostics & repair
• Transmission rebuilding & repair
• Advanced electrical diagnostics
• Computer module & communication diagnostics
• General automotive repair
• Light-duty & medium-duty trucks
• Fleet maintenance & personal vehicles

🔧🚨 2004 FORD F-250 — NO START? NO PROBLEM! 🚨🔧

Another truck diagnosed, repaired, and back on the road at Jason’s Auto! 💪

This 2004 Ford F-250 came in with a NO-START condition caused by a faulty fuel pump relay circuit inside the fuse box beneath the driver’s side dash.

Instead of replacing the entire fuse box and sticking the customer with an unnecessarily expensive repair, we found a better solution! 🔥

⚡ We bypassed the faulty internal relay circuit and installed a properly wired, externally mounted fuel pump relay!

✅ No expensive fuse box replacement
✅ No unnecessary programming
✅ Cost-effective electrical repair
✅ Customer saves money
✅ Truck back on the road!

Why replace an entire assembly when you can repair the actual problem? 😎

At Jason’s Auto, we don’t just throw parts at problems. We diagnose the issue, find practical solutions, and save our customers money whenever possible!

🔧 OUR SERVICES INCLUDE:

* Diesel diagnostics & repair
* Transmission rebuilding & repair

LET’S TALK ARCHOIL FOR A MINUTE. ⛽️💨

There are PLENTY of diesel fuel additives on the market that “claim” to do the same thing.

Do they work? 🤷‍♂️ Maybe. Maybe not.

What we CAN tell you at Jason’s Auto is that we’ve seen Archoil work firsthand.

If your diesel still has the complete DEF/DPF emissions system intact, we’ve seen the benefits there too. Customers have also seen longer intervals between regens on bone-stock trucks.

But here’s the BIG reason we recommend it 👇

CP4 FUEL SYSTEMS 🚨

If you own a diesel equipped with a CP4 high-pressure fuel pump, you already know—or SHOULD know—how expensive a CP4 failure can become.

That’s why we recommend our customers with CP4-equipped vehicles run Archoil AR6500 every tank of diesel. It adds lubricity to the fuel and helps protect the high-pressure pump and the rest of the fuel system.

A little preventative maintenance is a whole lot cheaper than replacing an entire contaminated fuel system after a pump failure. 💰

And here’s the best part:

We don’t make a dime off telling you this.

We recommend it because we work on these trucks every day, we’ve seen the results firsthand, and if something inexpensive can potentially help you avoid a repair bill worth thousands of dollars, it’s a no-brainer in our book.

Got a Ford, Chevrolet/GMC, Ram/Dodge, or another diesel with a CP4 system? Do yourself a favor and protect it.

SHARE THIS WITH YOUR DIESEL FRIENDS — especially the ones running CP4 fuel systems. 🛻💨

2020 Dodge Ram 4500 — No Brakes

This 2020 Dodge 4500 came in from one of our really good commercial customers with little to no braking power.

After diagnosing the braking system, we narrowed the problem down to issues with the hydroboost system. We made the necessary repairs, restored proper brake assist, and got the truck stopping like it should.

We understand how important these trucks are to our commercial customers. When your truck isn’t moving, your business isn’t making money. Our goal is to properly diagnose the problem, make the repair, and get you back to work as quickly as possible.

2017 F150 Ecoboost (Timing Codes)

We are always transparent with you guys from pictures to videos of findings and repairs on your vehicle. The more reputable shops have swapped to this because so many shops in the industry are just taking advantage of people. We got this truck just 13 months after a local ford dealer to the Birmingham area “fixed” it. The upsetting part to us is, the customer was charged $2800.00 for 1 timing chain. The truck still rattled on start up and was told it is normal.
To be honest this customer had a lot of trust issues, questions, and obstacles to over come. He was referred to us by 2 of our amazing customers, so that gave us some solid foundation to start. We replaced everything timing wise in the truck. Simply because Jason wont let our techs patch anything. Our mentality is let’s fix it right within their budget the first time. This prevents down time, waist full spending, and hard feelings.

Thank you Mr. Tyrone Jones for trusting us and listening to Jason recommendations. He has been back twice,to thank Jason for the hard work and let us leak check it. “The truck doesn’t rattle when you crank it and drives better than it has in years!” Mr.Jones stated.

2015 Chevrolet suburban (DOD Lifter Failed)

Customer was quoted $9800 on a used engine from another local shop here in Alabaster. Our plan originally was just to do a full Displacement on Demand removal. Upon further tear down, we had cam bearing issues due to metal contamination. After we worked thru the kinks with the customer with the parts and timing. Our staff rebuilt it in house from top to bottom. No more displacement on demand 💩. After tuning with HP Tuners, he is still in it $1500 cheaper than a used motor. We have now retained a life long customer.
