Your Boom Truck Deserves More Than Just Another Repair Shop
The hydraulics won’t hold. The boom creeps down under load, or the outriggers stick, and suddenly the whole crew is standing around a machine that’s supposed to be lifting steel by now. You know what every idle hour costs — not just in fuel, but in a client wondering why the job’s behind. A boom truck down isn’t an inconvenience. It’s money walking off the site.
Note: Large vehicles like this are serviced at our Greeley and Fort Morgan locations. Our Brighton shop handles cars and light trucks.
At Bullet Automotive & Diesel, with locations in Greeley and Fort Morgan, CO, we understand that your Ford F-750, International, Freightliner, Peterbilt, or Kenworth boom truck is a working asset, not a hobby. Our ASE Certified Technicians handle the diesel drivetrain, the hydraulic system, and the chassis as one connected machine — because on a boom truck, they are. We shoot straight about what needs fixing now and what can wait, so you can plan your week around real answers instead of guesses.
Why Boom Truck Owners in Greeley and Fort Morgan Choose Bullet Automotive & Diesel
We Speak Your Language, Not Mechanic Jargon
You’ve had shops bury the real problem under a wall of technical talk. That’s not how we work. When your boom truck comes in, we tell you in plain English what’s wrong, why it matters, and what happens if it waits.
- A written estimate before any wrench turns
- Clear priority tiers — safety must-fix, coming soon, down the road
- Photos and findings from a Comprehensive Multi-Point Vehicle Inspection
- Honest answers on how long your truck will be down
You know your way around an engine. We respect that. We talk to you like the operator you are, not a walking wallet.
Boom Truck Expertise Without Dealership Pricing
Dealerships treat boom trucks like a rare specialty and price them accordingly. We’ve been servicing diesel work trucks and heavy equipment since 2013, and our True Diesel Experience means we know these platforms cold.
- Diagnostic equipment for Cummins, Powerstroke, and Duramax platforms

Our name says it: We Always Shoot Straight. That’s the whole business.
Comprehensive Boom Truck Repair Services in Greeley and Fort Morgan
Boom Truck Maintenance Services
Preventive maintenance is what keeps a boom truck earning instead of sitting. In Colorado’s swing from below-freezing mornings to summer highs above 105 degrees, fluids and seals take a beating, and staying ahead of that is far cheaper than an on-site failure.
- Diesel oil and filter changes
- Hydraulic fluid service and filter replacement
- Chassis lubrication and greasing of boom pivot points
- Scheduled vehicle maintenance on manufacturer intervals
- Coolant system flush and inspection
- Belt, hose, and fuel filter replacement
- Multi-point inspections before big jobs
A scheduled maintenance plan means fewer surprises and a truck you can bank on when the calendar’s full.
Boom Truck Diagnostic and Repair Services
When something’s off, guessing costs you twice. Our technicians run real diagnostics on both the vehicle and the hydraulic system to find the root cause the first time.
- Vehicle diagnosis and repair including check engine light codes
- Diesel engine repair and performance troubleshooting
- Brake repair and replacement, including air and hydraulic systems
- Suspension and steering repair for loaded chassis
- Electrical and charging system diagnostics
- Turbocharger, EGR, and emissions repair
We connect the diesel powertrain to the equipment it runs, so the fix holds and the code doesn’t come right back.
Boom Truck Specialty Services
A boom truck is more than a chassis with a diesel under the hood. The hydraulic and lifting systems demand focused attention, and that’s where our heavy-equipment side shines.
- Hydraulic pump, hose, and cylinder repair
- PTO (power take-off) inspection and repair
- Outrigger and stabilizer system service
- Diesel repair services for the powerplant driving it all
- Fleet maintenance programs for multiple work trucks
Whether you run one boom truck or a small fleet, we keep the whole machine — engine, drivetrain, and lift — pulling in the same direction.
Model-Specific Boom Truck Expertise
Ford F-750 Boom Truck Service and Repair
The Ford F-750 is a common medium-duty base for boom and bucket setups around the Front Range. With Powerstroke diesel power, common concerns include fuel system issues, EGR faults, and front-end wear from constant loaded work. We diagnose the Powerstroke platform accurately and address chassis and hydraulic mounting points that see heavy stress on the job.
Freightliner Boom Truck Service and Repair
Freightliner chassis carry many boom and crane bodies in the region. Cooling system performance, air brake reliability, and DPF or emissions faults are frequent service items, especially under the heat and elevation swings Colorado throws at them. We service the Cummins and Detroit powertrains these trucks run and keep the emissions system compliant and healthy.
International Boom Truck Service and Repair
International medium and heavy-duty trucks are workhorses for utility and construction boom applications. Owners often deal with electrical gremlins, injector wear, and turbocharger concerns as miles pile up. Our technicians run the correct diagnostics for these platforms and repair the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.
Peterbilt Boom Truck Service and Repair
Peterbilt trucks fitted with boom and crane bodies are built to last, but hard duty still demands upkeep. Common attention areas include suspension components, driveline maintenance, and diesel aftertreatment service. We keep these premium chassis running strong so the investment keeps paying you back.
Kenworth Boom Truck Service and Repair
Kenworth boom trucks handle the heaviest lifting jobs, and their diesel drivetrains carry serious loads. We watch for cooling system stress, brake system wear, and PTO or hydraulic issues tied to boom operation. Our shop treats the truck and its equipment as one system, so a Kenworth leaves ready to work.
Common Issues Across Boom Truck Models
No matter the make on the door, boom trucks share a set of recurring problems tied to hard duty and Colorado’s punishing conditions. Here are the ones we see most often.
- Hydraulic leaks and slow boom operation: Worn seals, tired hoses, and failing pumps cause the boom to creep or respond sluggishly — we pressure-test the system and repair the actual failure point.
- Diesel emissions and DPF faults: Extended low-RPM work fouls DPF systems and triggers derate warnings; we clean, service, or replace components to keep the truck running at full power.
- Cooling system strain: Idling under load in 105-degree heat overworks radiators and water pumps, and we catch weak points before they leave you stranded.
- Front-end and suspension wear: Constant heavy loading grinds down ball joints, bushings, and steering components, which we inspect and replace to keep the truck safe and tracking straight.
- Electrical and charging faults: PTO, outrigger, and auxiliary circuits draw hard on the electrical system, and we trace intermittent gremlins down to the source.
- Brake system wear: Whether air or hydraulic, brakes on a loaded boom truck take a beating, and we service them so stopping power is never in question.
