Don't know but I would check with the better business bureau in the local area to see what complaints have been filed and any actions taken. This would be a starting place

Did you try Ramp Motors in Port Jeff.?

That is where I bought my 05 F250. They have been there over 65 years, and my buddy works for them selling Hummers. He "claims" the techs are good.

I can't speak for personal expierence though, since the only time my truck was at the dealer was when it was new.

Do anybody know a good dealer for diesel service in Houston, TX? My dealer, Gullo Ford in Conroe gave me a great price on my truck but they have been terrible in every other aspect of customer service. Also are Luberfiner filters any good?
