Diesel Engine Overhaul and Rebuild Services
When a diesel engine is worn out, fixing one problem after another only drains your budget. A diesel engine overhaul brings your engine back to like-new condition for a fraction of the cost of a new truck. I-55 Truck & Trailer Repair is a full-service truck repair shop on I-55 in Crawfordsville AR, performing in-frame and out-of-frame rebuilds for owner-operators and fleets across Memphis & West Memphis. We rebuild engines to last, so your truck can keep working for years to come.
Why Choose Us
Rebuilds Done With Precision, Not Shortcuts
An engine rebuild is a major investment, and the quality of the work determines how long it lasts. Our ASE certified mechanics tear down, measure, and inspect every critical component instead of guessing what's worn. Every part is replaced to manufacturer specifications, with careful attention to clearances, torque, and timing during assembly. With 25 years as a trusted truck repair shop, we deliver a diesel engine overhaul you can count on for hundreds of thousands of miles.
What We Offer
Full-Scale Engine Restoration for Heavy-Duty Trucks
Every project starts with a detailed inspection so we can recommend the right level of rebuild for your engine and budget. From partial in-frame work to complete out-of-frame rebuilds, we handle the entire process under one roof. Here's what our overhaul service includes:
Pre-Overhaul Evaluation: We run compression checks, oil analysis, and diagnostic testing before recommending any major work. This confirms whether a rebuild is truly the best option for your engine.
In-Frame Overhauls: We rebuild the engine's internal components while it stays mounted in the truck. This approach often saves time and labor costs when the block and crankshaft are still in good shape.
Out-of-Frame Rebuilds: For engines with more serious wear or damage, we remove the engine for a complete teardown. This lets us inspect and restore every part of the engine thoroughly.
Cylinder Head Rebuilds: Cracked heads, worn valves, and damaged seats can cause compression loss and overheating. We rebuild or replace cylinder heads to restore proper sealing and performance.
Piston, Liner, and Ring Replacement: Worn pistons, liners, and rings lead to blow-by, oil consumption, and power loss. New components bring compression back to factory levels.
Crankshaft and Bearing Service: We inspect the crankshaft and replace main and rod bearings to prevent costly internal failures. Every measurement is checked to ensure proper fit and oil clearance.
Engine Removal and Installation: Our truck repair shop is equipped to safely remove and reinstall heavy-duty engines. We reconnect and inspect all related systems so your truck is ready to run when it leaves.
Startup and Road Testing: After the rebuild, we complete a careful startup, check for leaks, and road test the truck. You get your truck back only when it's running the way it should.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between an in-frame and out-of-frame overhaul?
Roadside assistance is for emergency breakdowns on the highway. Mobile truck repair also covers planned repairs and maintenance at your yard, job site, or business, so you don't have to bring your truck to the shop.
How do I know if my engine needs an overhaul?
Major work like engine overhauls, transmission rebuilds, and heavy welding usually needs our shop's equipment. If that's the case, we'll let you know and help arrange transportation to our facility.
Is rebuilding an engine cheaper than replacing it?
Mobile service may include a service call fee, but it often saves money overall by eliminating tow costs and reducing downtime. We'll explain the pricing before we start any work.
How long does a diesel engine overhaul take?
Yes. We regularly perform repairs and maintenance at fleet yards, warehouses, and job sites, and we can work around your operating hours.
How should I break in a rebuilt engine?
We serve Memphis, West Memphis, Marion, Crawfordsville, and surrounding communities in Arkansas, Tennessee, and Mississippi. Call (870) 635-4003 to confirm service at your location.
