Diesel engines can generate a lot of torque at low speeds. They consume relatively little fuel compared to gasoline engines and happen to be more reliable. It’s no surprise that they’re the engine of choice for heavy commercial vehicles. Great as they are, they still act up from time to time. We service them, repair them, and when they’re beyond saving, we replace them. We do this for many kinds of vehicles:
