When you have a full day scheduled, the last thing you need is broken down equipment. If your yard truck is experiencing problems and keeping things moving is critical, do you know what to do? When you entrust the care and maintenance of your Ottawa/Kalmar Yard Truck to Louisville Switching, the answer is simple. Just call us.

One of our customers recently called reporting a power failure in their Ottawa Yard Truck. Senior Field Service Technician Kory Swenson headed out in one of our mobile repair vehicles to diagnose and repair it.

After hooking up the laptop to the Ottawa Truck, it was quickly determined that there was an issue with the truck's ECM. In this truck there is an Ottawa oil pressure sending unit and a Cummins oil pressure sending unit. The diagnostic computer determined that there was a problem with the Cummins oil sending unit. Kory saved the customer hours of down time not having to read through the Cummins manual and go through every step to discover the problem.
