I moved to the Dallas area a few months ago and I'm looking for a Good Mechanic that knows how to work on the 6.0l
I'm in The Colony TX
Thanks

 

What's going on with your truck?

 

2005 Excursion 6.0l (2005 engine)
Needs a little bit of everything. Main/Urgent thing is I think I need an oil cooler. Getting too big of a difference in Water and Oil temps.

Water warms up faster than Oil by about 20-25 deg more.
Water settles in at about ~190.
Oil catches up and keeps going up to about 220-232.
Difference of 30-42 deg when driving on the highway.

Besides that:
I want to get the new STC fitting installed
Turbo Cleaned and check for intake leaks (got a P0299 and a Whistling noise under hard acceleration)
Engine has a small Oil Leak
Want to do the EGR Delete
Needs Trans Filters and Fluid changed
Probably a Coolant Flush
And want to see what it would cost to get Studded.

 

I have dealt with Sam Pack Ford in Lewisville, TX for 11 years. Call the service manager Paul Schroeder 972-219-3288 X2244 and he will take care of you. While the prices may be a bit higher than some outfit that does Ford Trucks and everything else, their work is good and it is done right the first time. Paul actually drives a diesel and tows so he knows first hand about the issues you may be having.

Thank you.
I was also recommended to AA Automotive and North TX Diesel, both in Lewisville. Anybody have opinions on either?

 

I've had work done at Mad Matt's in Ft. Worth several times and have been very happy. I'll be going back to him anytime I have an issue that I don't want want to/can't deal with.

 

and looking at those numbers, you'll need an oil cooler for sure.
