I think Rich (Toyman) just posted he knows someone in GR in the BS Thread.

You can call the guy I met, he said he would be able to take on side work. He is a diesel tech for Fox Ford in GR. His name is Kris Kelley, number is 616-437-0225. Be sure to tell him that Rich from Veurinks RV gave you his number.

Yep, contact away.

Cummins would be sweet in there if the suspension could handle it. I think we should just put a blower on it and call it a day though

No, Rich, it HAS to be a 7.3... think of the value it would add. $30-$40k at least.
