Chevy Duramax Diesel Repair & Elite Performance

Utah’s Authority in GM Duramax Engineering, Maintenance, and Power

At T3 Speed Shop, we treat your Chevy or GMC Duramax as a masterclass in diesel engineering—a platform known for its smooth Allison transmission and high-revving power. Whether you’re driving the original LB7 or the high-tech L5P, we know these engines inside and out. Leveraging over 15 years of focused diesel expertise and OEM-level diagnostics, we provide the proactive maintenance and performance engineering required to keep your Duramax running with absolute reliability.


Our Specialized Duramax Service Menu

1. Duramax Precision Maintenance

We follow a philosophy that proactive maintenance prevents reactive repairs. Our high-altitude service intervals are designed to protect your investment from Utah’s extreme grades and summer heat.

  • Tiered Maintenance Schedules: Precise oil, fuel filter, and Allison transmission services at 7,500 and 15,000-mile intervals to maximize component life.

  • Fuel System Protection: Essential fuel filter swaps and lift pump inspections to protect expensive common-rail injectors from air and contamination.

  • Fluid Analysis & BG Products: Utilizing high-quality BG fluid exchanges to enhance engine longevity and prevent internal sludge buildup.

  • Cooling System Support: Expert service for water pumps (addressing plastic impeller failures) and radiators to prevent the overheating common in LLY models.

2. Duramax Fuel & Turbo Diagnostics

A Duramax is only as strong as its fuel delivery and boost pressure. We use GM-specific scan tools to pinpoint issues without the guesswork. 

  • Fuel Injection Specialists: Expert diagnostics for LB7 "haze," injector balance rate checks, and CP4-to-CP3 conversion kits to eliminate the "ticking time bomb" on LML models.

  • VGT & Turbo Solutions: We solve "lazy" response and vane-position codes by servicing Variable Geometry Turbo (VGT) actuators or installing upgraded Stealth or BorgWarner turbos.

  • Lift Pump Integration: We recommend and install FASS and AirDog lift pumps to ensure your high-pressure pump never runs dry under load. 

3. Duramax Emissions, DEF & DPF

Keeping your truck compliant and out of "limp mode" is a priority. We specialize in the complex after-treatment systems found on 2007.5+ models.

  • DPF & SCR Diagnostics: We resolve frequent regeneration cycles, clogged Diesel Particulate Filters, and DEF sensor/heater failures. 

  • MAP Sensor & EGR Service: Cleaning and servicing MAP sensors and EGR valves to prevent soot buildup that triggers check engine lights and power loss. 

  • Utah State & DOT Inspections: Comprehensive OBD emissions testing and on-the-spot renewals to keep your GM road-legal.

4. Duramax Heavy-Duty Drivetrain & Suspension

Your engine’s torque is only useful if it reaches the ground. We strengthen every link in the GM chassis.

  • Allison Transmission: We service and strengthen Allison 1000/2000 series transmissions, addressing cooler line leaks and installing deep pans for better temperature control.

  • Kryptonite & Steering: We are Utah’s premier installers for Kryptonite Steering & Suspension and Cognito kits, fixing the "sloppy steering" and front-end wear common to GM HD trucks. 

  • Brake & Hubs: Comprehensive inspections and heavy-duty pad/rotor replacements for maximum safety when towing through the Wasatch Front.


Why The T3 Speed Shop Partnership Matters

  • Dealer-Level Tech/ Local Shop: We use advanced GM-approved diagnostic equipment and Hunter Alignment systems, providing dealer accuracy with the transparency of a family-owned shop.

  • Specialized Expertise: While others are "general" mechanics, we focus exclusively on the specific nuances of the LB7, LLY, LBZ, LMM, LML, and L5P platforms.

  • Towing & Convenience: After-hours key drop-off and professional towing services ensure your truck gets to us even when you can't drive it.
