Reliable mechanics

Anyone know of reliable mechanics around Eugene Oregon?

Getting an exhaust smell in my cab and a bad winding noise coming from the engine. Also, fuel economy has dropped to about 11 mpg from 18.

Welcome to FTE.


Perhaps a mod can move your thread to the 6.0 forum.

You also may check in the Oregon chapter.

They are really hard to see, but it sounds like the turbo tubes are leaking. They go from the manifolds up to the turbo. There is an expansion joint in them that cracks and causes a leak.
