Ford Truck Repair & Service

From the best-selling F-150 to the workhorse F-450 Super Duty, Ford trucks are built to handle tough jobs. At Performance Authority in Bend, we provide expert service and repair for the entire Ford truck lineup, ensuring your vehicle remains powerful, reliable, and ready for any task. We are the premier dealership alternative for out-of-warranty Ford truck owners in Central Oregon. 

Your Powerstroke Diesel Headquarters

A Ford Super Duty is only as strong as its Powerstroke engine, and no one in Bend knows the Powerstroke better than us. We have deep expertise across all generations, from the classic 7.3L to the modern 6.7L Scorpion. Some common issues we routinely solve include:

  • 6.7L Powerstroke: Injection pump issues, turbocharger service, DEF system diagnostics.
  • 6.4L Powerstroke: Piston cracking, radiator and EGR cooler failures.
  • 6.0L Powerstroke: Head gasket and studding, oil cooler and EGR issues, FICM repair.
  • 7.3L Powerstroke: Cam position sensor replacement, injector o-rings, turbo pedestal leaks.

Whether you need routine maintenance or a complex engine repair, we are your trusted source for Powerstroke repair in Bend.

F-150 Truck Repair Specialists

While the Powerstroke is legendary, Ford’s modern gas engines like the EcoBoost V6 and the 5.0L Coyote V8 are performance powerhouses that require specialized knowledge. At Performance Authority, we have mastered the complexities of these platforms. We offer a high level of expertise and service for every Ford gas truck owner in Central Oregon.

We provide complete diagnostics, repair, and performance services for all Ford gas trucks, specializing in solving the most common and complex issues:

  • Ford 5.0L Coyote V8 Service: We are experts in diagnosing and repairing the notorious cam phaser rattle (the “typewriter tick”), ensuring a permanent, professional solution.
  • Ford EcoBoost Engine Experts: From the 2.7L to the 3.5L, we handle it all. We are your source for solving common problems like timing chain wear and rattle on startup, turbocharger issues, and intake valve carbon buildup.
  • Performance Tuning & Upgrades: Unleash the true potential of your F-150 or Super Duty. We offer ECU tuning, performance exhaust systems, cold air intakes, and more to safely boost horsepower and torque.
  • Specialized Maintenance: Go beyond the generic oil change. We provide meticulous maintenance using top-tier fluids and filters that protect your engine and extend its life.

Complete Care for Your Super Duty & Medium Duty Truck

Super Duty trucks, with their big 6.8L and 7.3L V8 engines, are subject to immense stress. We provide the heavy-duty services required to keep them safe and operational. We can handle complex issues or common repairs like:

  • “Death Wobble” Diagnostics & Repair: We can accurately identify and fix the root cause of violent steering wheel shake.
  • Suspension & Steering: Ball joints, tie rods, shocks, and complete front-end rebuilds.
  • Brake System Service: Heavy-duty brake repair for trucks that tow and haul.

FAQs

For most diesel trucks, we recommend full maintenance every 5,000 to 7,500 miles, depending on usage and driving conditions. Regular upkeep—including oil changes, filter replacements, fluid checks, and inspections—keeps your diesel running stronger, longer.

Our transmission service includes fluid inspection and replacement, filter changes, diagnostics, and full rebuilds or replacements if needed. Whether you’re dealing with slipping gears or delayed shifting, we’ll restore smooth performance. 

Common signs include uneven tire wear, bouncing after bumps, steering instability, or a rough ride. We inspect shocks, struts, springs, and bushings—then repair or upgrade your suspension for better handling and durability. 

We inspect pads, rotors, calipers, brake fluid, and lines for wear or leaks. Whether you need a basic pad replacement or a full brake system overhaul, we ensure your truck stops safely and reliably every time. 

Warning lights, poor fuel economy, rough idling, or lack of power are all signs your engine needs a checkup. We use advanced scan tools and hands-on testing to pinpoint issues—no guesswork involved.

Diesel engines run hotter and under more pressure than gas engines, making clean oil essential. Routine oil and filter changes reduce wear, boost efficiency, and extend engine life—especially if you haul or tow frequently.

We perform a full visual and mechanical inspection—covering the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, tires, HVAC, and more. You’ll get a detailed report so you can buy with confidence or walk away informed.

Yes. We provide customizable fleet services to keep your vehicles on the road and out of the shop. From regular oil changes to DOT inspections and major repairs, we tailor our service to your business needs.

We offer diesel tuning, cold air intakes, exhaust enhancements, suspension lifts, and more. Whether you want more towing power or a better ride, we’ll build your truck the way you need it to perform.

If your cab won’t warm up in winter, your A/C blows warm in summer, or your engine is overheating, it’s time for HVAC service. We inspect compressors, radiators, belts, hoses, and thermostats to keep things cool—or warm.
