Why Caboolture trucks need this work
A lot of the fitting work we do for Caboolture customers is repair work on someone else's splice job first. American trucks run body control modules that don't tolerate wiring cut into the factory loom, and we see intermittent electrical faults on trucks around Morayfield, Burpengary and Narangba that trace straight back to an aftermarket light bar or brake controller fitted without the correct harness.
What's included
- Model-specific harness or mounting kit confirmed before ordering parts
- Factory harness connections used rather than splicing into existing wiring where possible
- Brake controller gain and DC-DC charge profiles configured and calibrated, not left on defaults
- Bar work fitted to retain factory parking sensors and radar cruise where the truck has them
- All affected factory systems tested at handover, not just the new accessory

Getting here from Caboolture
Our workshop is at 46 Regent St, Caloundra — 45 minutes from Caboolture. Most Caboolture customers drop the truck off in the morning and collect it the same day where the job allows, so truck accessories fitting doesn't cost you a second trip. If you're coming in from Morayfield, Burpengary and Narangba, call ahead and we'll have the hoist free when you arrive.
Fixed-price minor servicing starts at $469 (1500-series) and $599 (HD-series). All other work — including upgrades & accessories — is quoted before we start, with no surprises on the invoice.
Frequently asked questions
- Will fitting accessories void my warranty on a truck from Caboolture?
- Correctly fitted accessories using proper harnesses do not void warranty. Poorly spliced wiring can, which is why we fit to factory harness standards wherever the truck supports it.
- Can you fit a bull bar without losing my parking sensors for a Caboolture pickup?
- In most cases yes, using a model-specific bar designed to retain factory sensor mounting points and wiring — we confirm compatibility with your exact trim before ordering.
- Is it worth driving from Caboolture to Caloundra for truck servicing?
- Most customers say yes — it's 45 minutes up the Bruce Highway with no city traffic, to a workshop that specialises in American trucks rather than treating them as an occasional job.
- Do you do pre-purchase inspections for buyers in Moreton Bay?
- Yes. We inspect imported and used American trucks including diagnostic scan, fluid condition, driveline wear and right-hand-drive conversion quality, and give you a written picture before you commit.
