Good mechanic in Virginia

I live near Manassas va and I have a 2003 6.0 that needs an oil cooler and egr delete and maybe hg's and studs just wondering of some good shops or people that can be trusted to do this work correctly and understands the in and outs of the 6.0s

You might want to look in the Regional Chapters section and see who has a good rep.

If you need headgaskets done and you want it done right then I suggest you make a road trip down to Trucks Unlimited in Winston Salem, NC. I drove a truck from Oklahoma to NC to have it done. Not only is his work VERY high quality the price is damn reasonable too.

I had mine done by Apple Ford in Columbia, Maryland. If there is no one else around that someone recommends, check out you local Ford dealer. Easier than towing it to NC.

I live about 45 min. from Man. and can tell you some folks NOT to use. There were two guys that were in Culpeper that went to that Diesel Int. in Nashville and relocated to Man. I will try to get info on where. Whats your problem? Do you wish to be specific on here?

Trucks still running good but it is going to need an oil cooler soon the deltas are at 13 degrees so I figured I wanted an egr delete to so if you are that far in might as well get hg's to but I have read so many nightmare stories about shops I want to find a good shop that knows what they are doing

There is a good mechanic in Raleigh NC that did studs and gaskets on my truck.. he works at a dealership but does a lot of side work... his price was a lot less too... let me know if you want his name/number

Hey 2004SUPERDUTY, any chance I could get that guy's contact info? I'm in Wisnton-Salem, and looking for a good tech to do the same work. Thanks.

Trucks Unlimited on old hwy 52 in Winston Salem is the ONLY place to take your 6.0, especially since you live there.
