Everything your American truck needs

One workshop for servicing, diagnostics, suspension, towing setup, transmission and driveline work on RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series — and other American makes and models. Not sure if we cover yours? Give us a call.

Logbook & Fixed-Price Servicing

American Truck Centre services RAM, Chevrolet Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series American pickups to manufacturer schedules at Caloundra on the Sunshine Coast — not heavy commercial trucks, just full-size utes. Minor servicing is fixed price — $469 for 1500-series trucks and $599 for HD-series trucks — and every service keeps your new-vehicle warranty intact.

Diagnostics & Electrical Fault Finding

We diagnose warning lights, electrical faults, limp modes and DPF problems on American pickups using manufacturer-level scan tools, then explain the root cause in plain English before any repair is authorised. This is dedicated RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series diagnostic work in Caloundra — not generic ute or commercial-truck fault finding.

Suspension Upgrades, Lift Kits & Alignment

We supply and fit suspension upgrades, lift kits and load-carrying springs for American pickups, then align them properly afterwards. The right setup depends on what the truck actually carries — a tourer with a slide-on camper needs a very different package to a daily driver on 35s.

Airbag Suspension & Load Support

Airbag helper kits sit inside or alongside your rear springs and let you dial in extra support when you hitch up a van, then let it out when you're empty. They are the fastest fix for a truck that squats under tow ball weight while still riding well unloaded.

Towing Capacity, GVM & Caravan Towing Setup

American trucks are bought to tow, but the number on the brochure is rarely the number that matters. Your real limit is whichever of GVM, GCM, axle rating or tow ball download you hit first — we weigh, assess and set your truck up so you tow legally and safely from Caloundra and across the Sunshine Coast.

Transmission Service & Repair

Automatic transmissions in American pickups are strong but heat-sensitive. Regular fluid and filter servicing with the correct specification fluid is the single cheapest way to avoid a five-figure rebuild, especially on a truck that tows.

Tuning & Performance for American Trucks

Most owners who ask about tuning actually want the truck to feel better under load — earlier torque, calmer gear hunting and steadier temperatures while towing. We tune for driveability and towing first, headline numbers second, on RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series pickups only — not commercial trucks.

Driveline, Differential & Transfer Case Servicing

Diff and transfer case oils do the hardest work in a towing truck and are the most commonly neglected fluids on the vehicle. Servicing them is inexpensive; replacing a chewed-out differential is not.

DPF Cleaning & Diesel Emissions Repair

We diagnose, force-regenerate and clean blocked diesel particulate filters on RAM Cummins, Duramax and Power Stroke pickups in Caloundra, and fix the underlying cause — usually EGR, sensor or driving-pattern related — so it does not simply block again.

Wheel Alignment & Tyres for American Trucks

Full-size American pickups need alignment equipment rated for their weight and track width. We align RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series trucks in Caloundra — standard, lifted and load-corrected — and supply light-truck-rated tyres to suit.

Upgrades & Accessories for American Trucks

We supply and fit touring and work upgrades to American pickups at Caloundra — brake controllers, dual battery systems, lighting, bar work, tow gear and load support — all wired and mounted to suit the truck's factory electronics.
