About 14 miles from Auburn to the shop in Rocklin. Ford only, 30 years: diesel trucks, CP4 to DCR swaps, injectors and engine work.

Auburn is the Placer County seat, sitting around 1,200 feet up in the foothills where Highway 49 meets I-80, about 14 miles from the shop.
From Auburn, I-80 climbs roughly 6,000 feet over about 60 miles to Truckee, topping out above 7,200 feet at Donner Summit. Towing up that grade is about the hardest work a Ford diesel does, and fuel delivery, boost and cooling problems tend to show up right there.
Winter adds snow and chain controls on the same road. A diesel that starts hard on a cold morning in Auburn will not get better at the summit, so have it checked before you head up the hill.
About 14 miles, straight down I-80. We are at 901 Placer Blvd unit B in Rocklin.
Low power on a long grade usually points to fuel delivery, boost or overheating. We diagnose the actual cause before replacing parts, so tell us what it does on the hill when you book.
If it still has the factory CP4, swapping it before it fails is how you avoid the big bill. When a CP4 lets go it sheds metal into the injectors, rails and tank, and the job grows from one pump to the whole fuel system.
No. The S&S Diesel DCR is built as a direct replacement for the CP4, so it bolts in and works with your truck's existing programming.
That's step one on every job. We diagnose before we replace parts, so you're not paying for guesses.
Yes. Head work, gaskets, and cab-off repairs on Ford diesel trucks are part of what we do. We walk you through the plan before we start.
