Why Gympie trucks need this work
A lot of the fitting work we do for Gympie 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 Mary Valley, Curra and Imbil 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

| Dual battery / DC-DC charger | Wired for touring power needs | Factory charging system |
| Bull bar / side steps | Fitted with model-specific mounts | Parking sensors, radar cruise |
| Driving lights / light bar | Wired to factory switches | Existing lighting circuits |
Getting here from Gympie
Our workshop is at 46 Regent St, Caloundra — 1 hour 15 minutes from Gympie. Most Gympie 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 Mary Valley, Curra and Imbil, 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 Gympie?
- 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 Gympie 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.
- Do you service American trucks from Gympie?
- Yes — Gympie is about an hour and 15 minutes down the Bruce Highway, and we regularly look after RAM, Silverado, GMC and Ford F-Series trucks from Gympie and the Mary Valley.
- Can everything be done in one visit from Gympie?
- That's how we plan it. Tell us your model and concerns when booking and we'll allow time for servicing, diagnostics and inspection in a single trip, quoting any repair before you head home.
