Check engine light came on and ECM was reading sporadic temperatures. New trucks have dual thermostats, but that does not mean problems are completely eliminated.

This thermostat lost the rubber seal and the seal wedged into the top restricting movement and complete opening and closing.

A Chevy LS 5.3 getting new exhaust studs. Not the average homeowners favorite job. Jesse has a real talent for repairing broken rusty bolts. It is one of the talents you get the longer you work on cars. If you cannot drill and remove studs, you will have a terrible time in a garage.

Jesse Frazier is at it again. Friday afternoon and another cab off Ford repair. Mostly diagnostics, but he is pretty sure of what is wrong.

Today a unique problem came to Jesse's shop. A truck about 12 years old had a steering issue that is not covered in any bulletin from the dealer. The brakes, steering and booster combine hydraulics from 2 separate systems with electrical from 2 different computers. Normally the problem would be a simple mechanical fix like an alignment or replacing worn bushings.

Jesse wanted to call one of his guys. Chad Ricketts from RickBees Tractor Repair. Chad took the time on the phone and then showed up to the shop to continue working the problem with Jesse Frazier . Two great mechanics that cared enough about a customer to work out the problem. Miller Diesel & Auto cannot express enough how important this is to all small businesses. We cannot thank Chad Ricketts enough.

When you have a problem with your car or truck you most likely have a guy you call.( If you have a girl that is just as cool). We hope the one you call is Jesse. He has years of quality experience with repairs and is very cordial about helping the best he can. What happens when the one you call needs to call someone? Jesse is the one many call for help. Jesse maintains an excellent relationship with other mechanics from many industries. When Jesse can help them he does. No questions it is part of who Jesse is.

From tractors to ATV and Semi trucks Jesse does not just repair cars. He cannot know everything about every mechanical device out there. When it comes to diesel trucks and semi trucks, Jesse most likely is one of the best out there. Sometimes though even he runs into a new issue. Engineers design vehicles to the manufactures needs today and not to the consumers ability. There are computers and programs that exceed an IT Engineers capability now. There is protected software and routing that is not shared with repair shops. Just a wire diagram does little on new cars as a wire goes to a box that has a series of checks before sending a signal to another box for more checks and then changing the voltage from one voltage to another.

RickBee’s is an agricultural and heavy equipment repair business, also offering welding and fabrication.

Let's try this again. Miller Diesel & Auto is looking to hire a second mechanic. We are not looking for other mechanics to advertise on our page. If you have your own tools and can demonstrate a solid ability to repair cars and semi trucks we want to talk.

We have plenty of work and can schedule more to keep busy. Stop by the shop and ask for Jesse. We are open M-F 8-5.

Find local businesses, view maps and get driving directions in Google Maps.

A Dodge truck came in with a bit of wobble to the front end. Some call it, " The DEATH Wobble!" Many things cause wobble. In this instance the track bar was the culprit. Naturally the stabilizing shock was replaced at the same time to ensure a smooth safe ride. Notice the "Air Bushing". No rubber left to support. A quick repair with the right tools. Jesse does great work.

Whether this is your problem or something simple, Miller Diesel & Auto will be closed from July 13th through July 20th. The cameras are still on and the drop box is available for drop offs. We will watch the cars in the lot and someone will drop by to check for keys left in drop box.

If you leave a vehicle please also leave a note as to what needs repaired, a name and a phone number we can call you at.

As always it is an honor to be your trusted mechanic and we look forward to getting started on your service. Thank you for your business.

Today Miller Diesel & Auto is 3 years old. Somehow this passed without any fanfare. What should we do? How can we celebrate 3 years of car and truck repairs with the community?

Post your ideas in the comments.

Much was done for a Friday. Today Old Man Joe got to fix the backhoe. After removing 2 large cylinders on the family backhoe and getting them rebuilt, they are back in the tractor. Just waiting on a couple square o rings and the tractor is done.

Normally Jesse Frazier gets these jobs after hours, but he has been busy. The benefit and uses of this tractor is much needed. Joe, that's me today, does not get to do many big jobs, but this one will help around the shop much.
