Howdy neighbors

Been around for a while ... just don't post a lot.

My 6.0L PSD is sickly and am in need of a reputable mechanic or shop in the Ft. Worth area.

I've contacted cheezit and he is out of the industry now. I also saw a recommendation for Farmer's in Athens. That's a little further than I wanted to go.

There is a shop SW of Ft. Worth called Mac's. Anyone ever had any experience with them?

Any recommendation ... good or bad ... is welcome.

I appreciate the link.

Abeline and Tyler aren't in what I might consider the Ft. Worth area, though.

Welcome to the neighborhood. While I'm currently in Texarkana and have been for the last sixteen years, I am from Tyler and am down that way just about every month.

Sorry I can't help on the PSD problem. All my Ford Truck driving kinfolk drive gas pushers. The only one that has a diesel is my brother-in-law, and he's the blacksheep driving a Chevy Durimax with an Allison tranny. It's a company truck anyway so when it gets sick, it goes where ever the lease company tells him to take it.

Lake Palestine isn't far from you in J'ville and neither is Bullard. That's my home lake and where I plan to retire. I've got two lots at Eagle's Bluff waiting on me, so I'll be back in the not too distant future, unless I sell those in favor of moving to Lake Fork.

Good luck with your truck!

Matt is very familiar with the 7.3 since he used to have one that he did plenty of mods to. Unfortunately for you, he's in Fort Worth, not Austin.

I do know of a young Ford diesel tech that could work on it down in Austin, or you can look up the boys at Death Row Diesel. They're very familiar with the 7.3
