Alabama Dyno Testing Services

Our dyno testing services are here to help business owners and fleet managers determine if their trucks need repairs. We’ll use our resources to measure each truck’s performance so you have an accurate, up-to-date understanding of your vehicles’ health. With precise diagnostic information in hand, you’ll have the most control over your fleet’s performance. Our dyno tests assess:

Engine horsepower: Through our engine dyno tests, you’ll uncover information regarding a truck engine’s horsepower. Our tests measure the amount of force your truck uses to maintain a spinning engine’s rpm. This torque reading provides an accurate measurement of the truck’s engine output, making it easy to troubleshoot issues by swap-testing different components.

Wheel horsepower: Our truck chassis dyno tests evaluate the horsepower a truck’s drive wheels produce. We’ll position your vehicle on top of a drum roller platform to measure torque output based on how fast the truck’s wheels accelerate the roller. This baseline test allows us to measure power output in a realistic application and diagnose any deficiencies.

Engine coolant, boost, and intake temperatures: Dyno tests will provide temperature results for a truck’s internal systems and fluids as torque increases. Understanding these results can provide insight into specific functions that may be operating below optimal efficiency.

Common Problems Dyno Tests Can Identify

Identifying minor issues before they grow into more significant problems can save you money on repairing or replacing trucks in your fleet. Our truck chassis dyno services pinpoint warning signs so you can address them on your terms. We’ll identify service problems such as:

Low horsepower: Engines will lose horsepower over time as issues arise regarding factors like air filtration, fuel intake, compression loss, and spark plug deficiency.
Overheating: A truck may overheat due to inadequate coolant levels or issues within the engine’s cooling mechanisms.
Emissions concerns: Problems with evaporative or combustion emissions can cause your fleet to emit toxic fumes that put workers and the environment at risk.
