Transmission Cut to show you the inside of it

Nothing works if your transmission doesn't work! Simply put you are going nowhere without it and it is the one thing that both car and truck drivers alike never think twice about until it really acts up or they have no power or simply don't move forward. Most of us have a newer car or truck with an automatic transmission in it vs. a standard transmission so do not notice that it is slipping gears until the problem is really serious so the question is how do you get the most out of your transmission? The obvious answer is to take care of your transmission with scheduled service per your owner's manual recommendation but we have put together a simple checklist for our Danville drivers to help them become "transmission aware" as it were.

You have determined your Cummins, Duramax, or Powerstroke engine needs to be replaced. You might be on the fence about whether you should replace the engine in your diesel, or just get a new truck. At Coffman's Truck Service & Towing in Danville, IL, we’re here to help.

Diesel engines are known for their durability, but even the best engine has to be replaced every once in a while. At Coffman's Truck Service & Towing in Danville, IL, we want you to be aware of signs that your engine is about to call it quits.

When you think about diesel engines, you probably think about large trucks and machinery, and maybe a few oddball cars over the years. But how long has diesel really been around, and why is it used the way it is today? Coffman's Truck Service & Towing in Danville, IL has the answers you need to become more in-tune with your diesel truck and engine.

Failed engine mounts are an irritating issue to live with causing your car or truck to vibrate and you don't know why. At Coffman's Truck Service & Towing in Danville, IL, we can help, no matter what type of car, truck, or SUV you drive and it is an easy issue to detect on a test drive.

There are a few indicators your engine mounts need to be replaced. For one, you can do a visual inspection, if they’re accessible enough - if they looked cracked, smashed, or dry-rotted, it’s probably time for new ones. If the engine visibly shakes while it’s running, engine mounts are also likely the culprit. However, if you are like most drivers you simply get in and drive on down the road until something is different or a light comes on! Then you call our shop for help!
