How we'd handle this for Oak Grove, KY

When a truck derates we plug in the scan tool and pull the inducement: which sensor, which threshold, which code. Most derates are one stuck part away from clearing. We confirm the failure, fix it, run the truck through a parked regen if needed, and verify the inducement cycle clears cleanly. We don't replace expensive sensors on guesses. NOx sensors are $700–$900 parts — we test the sensor and the circuit before we throw one in.

Coverage to Oak Grove: about 65 minutes via I-24. Landmarks we work near include Fort Campbell Main Gate, I-24 exit 86, Pembroke Road. We give you a real arrival window when you call (931) 561-7736.

Frequently asked

How fast can you get to Oak Grove, KY?
About 65 minutes via I-24 from our Russellville KY shop — 58 miles via I-24. We give a real arrival window when you call (931) 561-7736, not a four-hour spread.
What aftertreatment components do you actually service?
DOC (Diesel Oxidation Catalyst), DPF, SCR catalyst, EGR cooler and valve, DEF tank + pump + doser + injectors, inlet and outlet NOx sensors, and the harnesses and connectors that tie them together. We carry scan-tool coverage for Cummins, Detroit, Paccar, Mack, and Cat — whichever piece is bad, we can isolate and fix it.
Why does my truck go into derate every couple of weeks?
Usually a marginal sensor or a partially-plugged DPF that the regen system keeps trying to clean. We can do a real diagnostic: scan-tool history, sensor live data, back-pressure measurement. Often the fix is a sensor replacement or a DPF cleaning.
How much does an EGR cooler replacement cost on a Cummins ISX?
Parts plus labor lands around $1,800–$3,000 depending on generation and cab access. We give you a firm number after we confirm it's the cooler (coolant loss without external leak + white smoke under load is the giveaway).
Can DPF cleaning be done on-truck?
A forced regen can. A full DPF cleaning where the filter is removed and run through a thermal/pneumatic cleaning machine is a 1–2 day off-truck process at a regional cleaner. We coordinate the swap with a loaner DPF when downtime matters.

  • “Brennan was great — absolutely hire this guy. I own a local tree company in Goodlettsville and one of my work trucks broke down at short notice. He was able to get there within a day or two and diagnose it. My turbo went out on one of my vehicles — when I went to the dealership they told me the wait time was forever and the process would include taking the cab off, which wouldn't work well with my current setup. Within one day he was able to replace my turbo and get it running so I could get back in business. The job was really labor-intensive but he made quick work of it and it runs even better than it did before. He's now the main guy I go to.”

  • “We've used Blacktop Mobile Repair twice this month, and both experiences have been nothing short of amazing. They run a top-notch operation, and it really shows in the quality of service and professionalism they provide. Jacob, the service tech, went above and beyond to make sure our truck was taken care of. He even drove out of his way to make sure he had the exact part needed to fix the truck and get us back on the road quickly. That level of dedication and commitment is hard to find. As a trucking company, downtime is costly, and having a team like Brennan and Jacob we can rely on makes all the difference.”

  • “I've used these guys in the past for an air compressor installation. Jacob was great. And recently my alternator quit on the weekend. I called Jacob on a Saturday and he helped me find one that I could pick up myself. Both times Jacob was knowledgeable & fair. A few months later — again on a Saturday — I wasn't even in their area and I called again to get troubleshooting advice. They are very good at diagnosing. Was able to pinpoint the trouble. Thanks again guys!”

    — Dennis W.
