It's EOFY season. And if you're a business owner running an American diesel truck - or a fleet of them - this is the time to get any outstanding repairs or maintenance done before 30 June.

Servicing, diagnostics, part replacements - these are all legitimate business expenses. Don't leave money on the table by rolling into the new financial year with deferred maintenance.

We're booking out fast in June. Call us now to lock in your appointment.

Michael originally started his business as a field service operation - mining belts, gas fields, heavy equipment across Central Queensland.

When he brought the business back to Toowoomba as MS Mechanical, he brought everything he'd learned in those conditions with him. The diagnostic discipline. The attitude that no job is too hard. The understanding that a broken-down vehicle isn't just an inconvenience - it's a real problem for real people.

That's still what drives the workshop today. We just happen to do it now with some of the best diesel trucks on the planet.

If you're local, come in. If you're not, we're worth the drive.

Not every day you get a piece of American history rolling into the workshop.

This is the limited edition Harley-Davidson F-150 - built to celebrate 105 years of one of the most iconic motorcycle brands on the planet. Ford and Harley-Davidson have had a collaboration going back decades, and this truck is exactly what you'd expect when two American icons get together.

Blacked out, badged up, and built to turn heads.
It came in to see us here at MS Mechanical - and we took a moment to appreciate it before we got to work.

This is exactly the kind of vehicle we love seeing in the workshop. Unique, American, diesel-capable, and with a story behind every badge.

Own something special? We treat it that way.

The American truck market in Australia isn't slowing down.

But the service infrastructure still hasn't caught up. Most workshops don't have the diagnostic software. Most don't have parts connections with international suppliers. Most haven't spent years learning the quirks of a 6.7L Powerstroke or a Duramax.

We have.

If you're in the Darling Downs or surrounding region and you own a Ram, Ford, Chev or GMC - you've got a specialist workshop in your backyard. Most truck owners in this country aren't that lucky.

If fuel prices have you watching the gauge more closely, here are 5 things that directly affect how much diesel your truck is burning through - and that we can actually fix.

▪️Dirty or worn fuel injectors - poor spray pattern means incomplete combustion. More fuel in, less power out.

▪️EGR valve issues - a stuck or clogged EGR forces the engine to work harder than it needs to.

▪️DPF struggling to regenerate - a partially blocked filter creates back pressure that kills efficiency.

▪️Turbo underperforming - if boost pressure is down, the engine compensates by using more fuel.

▪️Air filter and intake restriction - one of the simplest fixes, and one of the most overlooked.

Any of these sound familiar? Drop your question below or book in for a diagnostic.

Here's something a lot of F-150 and Super Duty owners don't know - and it could save you from a costly mistake.

If you're running a pre-2020 Powerstroke and you've been looking at upgrading to the newer steel piston components, there's an important compatibility issue you need to understand before you spend a cent.

Michael breaks it down here in plain language. This is exactly the kind of specialist knowledge that separates a workshop that really knows these trucks from one that's just guessing.

If you've got questions about your Powerstroke after watching, drop them in the comments or give us a call.

We don't talk about our work as much as we probably should.

So we'll let this Google Review do it instead.

If you've got an American diesel truck in Queensland and you've been told it's too hard, too specialised, or too much of a problem - call us. That's exactly the type of challenge we love.

Winter is just around the corner, and cold starts are harder on diesel engines than most people realise.

Here's what we're checking on every American diesel truck this month:
→ Glow plugs - the first thing to show weakness in cold weather
→ Battery health - diesel cranking demands are serious. Over 3 years old? Get it tested. → Coolant condition - not just the level, but whether it's still doing its job
→ Injector seals - small leaks accelerate in the cold. White smoke on start-up is a sign. → Transmission and diff fluids - cold thickens everything and can hide early wear

A pre-winter check now is a lot cheaper than a breakdown in the colder months.

Book via our website or call us on (07) 4636 6883.

One of the questions we get asked a lot: "Can't I just take my Ram/Ford/Chev to any mechanic?"

Technically, yes. But here's what that often looks like in practice - a generic fault code, parts replaced on a best guess, a bill that doesn't fix the problem, and a truck that ends up with us anyway.

American diesel engines are electronically sophisticated. The diagnostic software matters. The experience with that specific platform matters. Getting it right the first time matters.

We've built our entire workshop around these trucks. When you bring yours in, we're not learning on the job.

Diesel fuel prices in Australia are currently sitting at levels making our eyes water!

When fuel gets expensive, every inefficiency in your engine costs you more.

A partially blocked injector. A DPF that's struggling. A fuel system that's running lean.

These aren't just mechanical problems. Right now, they're money leaving your wallet every single time you fill up.

We specialise in diesel diagnostics for American trucks - Ford Powerstroke, Duramax, Cummins. If your fuel economy has dropped and you're not sure why, that's exactly the kind of problem we find.

Don't just absorb the cost. Find out where it's going.
