August 2025 #dieseltips® Roundup

Every month, we drop a fresh batch of #dieseltips® to keep your wrenching a little easier and a lot more entertaining. August didn’t disappoint. From check engine lights to missing bolts, here are the highlights:

Check engine lights aren’t problems, they’re conversation starters.

Sometimes you just need to walk out, fire up the truck, and listen. No excuse required.

Drop a bolt once, and it’ll bounce into another dimension. Guaranteed.

Torque specs come in two flavors: “good enough” and “we’ll know if it leaks.”

Some days you wrench. Some days you stare at the truck and try not to cry. Both count as progress.

Diesel patience = owning a truck that’s been “almost done” for seven years straight.

If the check engine light goes out on its own, it’s either fixed or the bulb’s gone. Either way… win.

That $40 tool? Worth every penny compared to three wasted hours, two bruises, and your will to live.


From busted knuckles to mystery fixes, August’s #dieseltips® reminded us all that owning a diesel is equal parts patience, humor, and pride. Stay tuned for September, we’ve got plenty more truths from the shop floor coming your way.
