Our internal engine services include:
Belts & Hoses
Timing belts and serpentine belts are the most common types of belts in trucks.
A timing belt (also referred to as the camshaft drive belt or the Gilmer belt) is a notched belt that allows the crankshaft to turn the camshaft. Failure of the timing belt would lead to failure of the engine. A loose timing belt could lead to its slipping. When slipped, valves will open at the wrong time putting them at the risk of being struck by the pistons. To avoid this, have your timing belts inspected and serviced regularly.
A drive belt transfers power from the engine to the front mounted accessories such as the cooling fan, power steering pump, air injection pump, the air conditioning compressor and more. Failure of the drive belt means that all the engine accessories it's powering will stop working leading to overheating of the engine. To prevent this from happening, have the belt regularly checked for wear, cracks and stripping.
Hoses (or coolant hoses) are the heater and radiator hoses (upper and lower). The hoses facilitate the flow of coolant between the radiator, engine, and heating block. Old and worn out hoses can easily burst resulting in an overheated engine. To prevent this from happening, have the hoses inspected for cracks.
For belts and hoses maintenance and replacement services, visit Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair in Midland, TX 79706 today. Remember, working belts and hoses will lead to a properly working engine.
Cooling System
Although a truck's engine operates most efficiently at high temperatures, the surplus heat produced during combustion can damage engine parts. To keep the engine safe from the surplus heat, trucks come with a cooling system. The system helps the engine maintain the required temperature and release any surplus heat to the environment.
The cooling system is made up of various parts that work harmoniously. These parts are the radiator, fan, pump, pressure cap, hoses, thermostat, and overflow tank. Failure of any of the parts will result in a poorly functioning cooling system.
To have a properly working cooling system (and thus a healthy engine), consider having periodic servicing of the parts that make up the system. At Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair, we can service or replace (if necessary) radiators, fans, water pumps, hoses, thermostats and pressure caps.
Diesel
Although diesel engines don't require tune-ups and tend to last longer than gasoline engines,
they do require regular maintenance. Typical maintenance tasks include:
- Changing the oil & filter
- Changing the air filter
- Changing the fuel filter
- Bleeding the fuel system
- Draining the water separators
- Refilling the urea injection system
Engine
This is where your truck's combustion of fuel occurs. The ignition, which takes place in a combustion chamber, provides force to the pistons, turbine blades, or a nozzle. The engine provides power that drives your truck. With a poorly operating engine, you will have a poor performing truck. Visit Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair in Midland, TX 79706 today, to have all your engine needs addressed. At Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair, we have engine specialists who will make sure you get the most from your truck's engine.
Exhaust
An exhaust system is a piping that directs exhaust gases away from the internal combustion engine to the outdoors. A truck's exhaust system is made up of one or more exhaust pipes. An exhaust system can be modified to increase engine power (and performance), reduce pollution, or reduce noise. Also, a properly operating exhaust system is required for operator safety.
To get the most from your truck, you need regular exhaust service. For exhaust repairs, exhaust modification, or exhaust replacement, call 432-227-2752 or visit Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair today.
Water Pumps
A water pump is a vital part of your truck cooling system. A water pump is a centrifugal pump that circulates fluid whenever the engine is running. A belt connected to the engine's crankshaft drives the pump. Water pumps have vanes that fling the fluid to the outside of the pump (using centrifugal force) where it can enter the internal combustion engine. After going through the engine and the cylinder head, the fluid flows back to the water pump.
If the water pump develops a leak or the hub becomes loose and noisy, you need to have it replaced. Faulty water pumps will lead to poor cooling of the internal combustion engine. To have faulty water pumps repaired or replaced, call 432-227-2752 or visit Hale's Diesel & Auto Repair today.

What Our Customers Are Saying
The best service, hands-down. Customer care was top notch, and they got my Yukon fixed up quickly. They were so much easier to work with than the dealership.
Well, where to begin. We all work in WTX for a reason, and we put some pretty heavy wear and tear on our trucks. Some trust the 5 minute lube guys, or the truck house. End of the day I don't. I was pointed in Hale's direction and will NEVER search for another crew. They gave me my twice look over and showed me what they saw, was wrong, was possibly going to go wrong, what level of seriousness. They worked with me, we talked pros and cons. They made some valid points even if i didn't want to hear them, because i know they are right! Got my truck back, clean, Quality Checked, bottle of water the works. So excited to get the truck back. The next day, alas, i had a small problem. The owner reached out to me, the service writer reached out, mind you this was before the sun even came out. They got me lined up with a tow from my house to the shop. Put me front of the line. They made sure i had transportation to and from everything i needed. Offered a truck to use if i needed. Had my truck up and running 24hrs later. The truck back to full life, shining and sparkly and roaring strong. I CANNOT say anything bad, they took initiative, they were calm and cool not pressuring me into anything. Small hiccup that could have changed the course of my feelings (probably not though, because things happen) At the end of the day in WTX where Service Quality and Customer service are severely lacking in every industry. Jason, Jesse and that team went above and beyond! They got me hooked and i won't accept any service less than what they produced in West Texas! Thanks again Hale's Team

Lubbock, TX
Owner personally went to pick me up in his personal truck so I wouldn't have to waste money on a taxi . They diagnose your vehicle and give you the option to approve whatever repairs you want to get done. When I picked up my truck after repair was done I had a cold Gatorade and water in the center council. They vacuumed truck and cleaned all the windows. Very impressed with their service. I'll definitely go back..
