The Conversation Pit This is where EVERYTHING else goes. No subject is too mundane. How's the weather in your area? Did your kid cut his first tooth? Really, what do you think about the President? And don't get me started on Cummins and Duramaxes. Have at it! |

Jack, it's never a problem to steer people to a place where they'll get the help they seek. If you can't assist them yourself, but you can point them to someone who can, you've done a service for both.
Besides, this forum is a place where someone can get help without the antics associated with some of the other sites. I think we're all adult enough here to realize some people preferences don't match with ours, and that doesn't mean we have an excuse to belittle or ridicule them for it. That is one simple reason why I would gladly send someone here for answers.

Hey Cody! You probably aren't surprised by the number of mechanics and service writers who don't know much, if anything about diesels. In fact, one of the service writers I worked with admitted to running from the desk when a diesel came in the shop. Some of the guys I worked with years ago would outright refuse to touch them too.
While I have not personally worked on a diesel in years, I never ran from them, I wanted to learn more. I actually love the 6.5L turbo trucks I got to drive, and would love to buy one if I could find one at a good price that was still rust-free. I'll pass on a popsicle though..... ketchup isn't my flavor.

Diesels ARE my speciality. However, the 6.5L has left a bitter taste in my mouth. I actually have a guy here that has souped up his '98 with injectors, an intercooler, aftermarket turbocharger, etc.
He just put a new long block in it since he blew the last one up (go figure ![]() Any thoughts? Dang I love electronically injected diesels.

But the owner said if you have any questions you're more than welcome to email him, he's happy to help out. Walt, the owner, responds to all tech questions personally, and usually responds to questions within a day. http://www.ssdieselsupply.com/contact.html Just be sure to include all the info you have about the truck and what this guy has done to it, the tech form asks you for this too. Walt is a good guy, very knowledgeable, and like Bill, doesn't believe in selling you something he hasn't proven to be a benefit. Drop him a line, I'm sure he can help you figure out what is going on with this guys truck.
