Your diesel truck isn’t just a vehicle, it’s a workhorse. Whether you’re hauling trailers through mountain passes, towing equipment on job sites, or clocking serious mileage every week, you demand more from your truck than the average driver. At JW Diesel & Automotive in Carbondale, CO, we provide performance upgrades that help your diesel engine do exactly that, and more.

Our upgrades are built for real-world performance, designed to enhance reliability, improve longevity, and protect your investment mile after mile. If you’re looking for a performance shop that understands diesel power, you’ve found it.

Work-Ready Performance That’s Built to Last

Every diesel truck rolls off the factory floor with a baseline setup intended for general use. But real-world demands, like towing in high altitudes, running long highway routes, or hauling heavy equipment, call for more robust solutions. That’s where performance upgrades can make a difference.

Our goal isn’t just more horsepower. It’s more reliability. More efficiency. More capability when and where you need it most.

Smart Performance Gains Without Cutting Corners

Our diesel performance upgrades are engineered to:

  • Increase torque and pulling power
  • Improve throttle response under load
  • Reduce engine strain and heat buildup
  • Extend the life of high-wear components
  • Boost fuel efficiency on work routes
  • Stay emissions-compliant and legal

When installed with care and precision, these upgrades support the performance you need while protecting the systems you rely on.

Performance Diesel Upgrades We Offer

At JW Diesel & Automotive, we don’t just install parts. We build solutions. Every upgrade we offer is installed with emissions compliance in mind. Our goal is to enhance performance and durability without compromising your vehicle’s legal standing or reliability. We use OEM-grade tools and follow best practices to ensure every improvement integrates cleanly and performs like it should.

1

Airflow Enhancements

Improved airflow is the foundation of combustion performance. We install upgraded air intakes, high-flow filters, and charge pipes that help your engine breathe better, reduce turbo lag, and improve combustion efficiency.
2

Turbocharger & Intercooler Improvements

Looking for better boost response or lower exhaust gas temperatures (EGTs)? We install emissions-compliant turbochargers, intercoolers, and supporting components to enhance airflow, cooling, and overall performance.
3

Fuel System Upgrades

Fuel delivery impacts every part of engine performance. We install upgraded lift pumps, filtration systems, and supporting components that keep your injectors clean and fuel flowing properly. Cleaner fuel means better combustion, longer injector life, and improved throttle response.
4

Transmission Upgrades

Power isn’t useful if your transmission can’t handle it. We install torque converters, coolers, and valve bodies that help automatic transmissions handle added stress. Whether you’re towing uphill or managing high-mileage fleet vehicles, our upgrades keep shifts smooth and reliable.
5

Cooling System Reinforcements

Heat is one of your engine’s worst enemies. We install larger radiators, upgraded thermostats, and heavy-duty cooling fans to keep your diesel cool under pressure, especially important in summer or during long climbs in altitude.
6

Suspension & Steering Mods

We offer lift kits, heavy-duty shocks, steering stabilizers, and other components designed for work-focused builds. Whether you’re hauling tools or tackling ranch roads, these upgrades improve control, comfort, and safety.
7

Monitoring Upgrades

From EGT gauges to boost and trans temp monitors, we install gauge kits that let you track performance data in real time. Knowing how your truck is running can prevent costly breakdowns and help you adjust your driving habits for longevity.
