This LML Duramax came to us with coolant pressure pushing out of the reservoir, a clear sign that something wasn’t right.

After diagnosis, we found the truck had blown head gaskets. We tore it down and got it back together the right way with Automotive Racing Products Inc. head studs and Mahle head gaskets to provide the strength and reliability these Duramax trucks demand.

Whether it’s a Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke — we’ve got you covered. As North Georgia’s premier diesel shop, we deliver expert service and exceptional results you can count on.

One of the biggest weaknesses of the 6.7 Powerstroke is its fuel system reliability. Don’t wait for a costly failure or find yourself stranded on the side of the road.
Protect your investment, improve reliability, and drive with confidence by upgrading to the S&S Diesel Motorsport® DCR Conversion Kit. Built to help eliminate a common failure point and keep your truck performing when it matters most.

Work trucks don’t have to be basic.
This 6.7L Cummins is anything but your average work truck. Like many Cummins trucks, it came in with a significant oil leak from the timing case. We replaced the timing case gasket and took it a step further—adding an Evil Fab 2G swap for extra power and a more enjoyable drive to the job site.
Built to work. Upgraded for more.

Warmer temperatures are approaching, and that means your truck’s cooling system may be under increased strain.

Signs such as poor engine performance, excessive coolant consumption, or overheating shouldn’t be ignored. Addressing these issues early can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and costly repairs.

This LML Duramax was completed just in time for the summer months. It received a set of head studs, Mahle head gaskets, and a complete upper engine reseal using all GM gaskets—ensuring it’s fully prepared to handle the demands of warmer weather with confidence.
