Cavitation is a leading killer of diesel engines. It’s an interesting process, albeit an expensive one if your diesel engine is a victim of cavitation. From our team here at Capital Transmission, Inc, here's what you should look out for:

injectors

Your injectors are the mechanism that delivers fuel into the cylinders of your diesel engine. As such, they’re clearly important. At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we will diagnose, maintain, and repair any injector issues you may be experiencing with your commercial or fleet trucks, in a timely and professional manner.

spark plug

Have you always wondered what a spark plug does? Our team here at Capital Transmission, Inc is here to help you out. It's simple in theory but does quite a lot of work for such a small piece of equipment. Your spark plug forces electricity to arc across a gap like a bolt of lightning at high voltage and fits into your engine's cylinder head, where it “sparks” to ignite the fuel and creates combustion within your engine. Without it, you wouldn't be able to drive your car or truck. 

fleet of vehicles

With fleet trucks and large diesels, one issue plagues them more than any other; neglected maintenance or repair. At Capital Transmission, Inc in Hyattsville, MD, we can take care of your entire fleet, no matter how big or small, making sure it stays on the road for years to come.
