Hey everyone, long time no... err.. post. Anywho, I'll get straight to the point. I sold my excursion to a friend who offered 500 bucks more than I paid for it 3 years ago. I'm now looking for a replacement truck. I found a 97 PSD/zf5 fairly cheap and cosmetically challenged, and would like to have a mechanic look at it before I pick it up.

It runs decent, doesn't blow me away as far as power goes - seemed on par with the excursion at best, after it warmed up. It does put out a fairly good amount of blue smoke on startup, which I read that it could be as simple as injector o rings, or as bad as piston rings or bad injectors... Does anyone know of a shop or mechanic, preferably in the shakopee/south west area, that I could take this thing to and have it looked at, just so I know what I'm getting myself into?

Thanks!
