DPF issues, DEF dosing faults, harness fixes, smoke testing are solved with dealer-grade diagnostics to avoid parts darts and return the truck to full power.
Air brake service, chambers, slack adjusters, drums, rotors, wheel seals with torque specs in the ticket so dense-traffic braking stays tight.
