help!! looking for a mechanic in ct
i just picked up a 97 f350 drw with the7.3L motor with 60k for my landscaping biz. The truck needs a exhaust mainifold on the passenger side and a few other small things once i get this mainfold issue fixed. i found out that my machanic that works on my 460 motors does not work on diesels. so i was looking for someone who would be willing to work on this truck and down the line on my 6.0L when the warranty is up. btw as a option i have a rather large shop with heat and plenty of tools if someone was not able to fit this truck into their shop. my email is girgentilandscaping@yahoo.com or 860 398 0538. any referrals would be helpful to!! just trying to avoid the dealerships!!! thanks chris

From: Johnson City, TN.
Also try Long Island Diesel. http://www.lidiesel.com/
I think they just sell parts but they may give you a lead. I spoke with the co-owner that lives in NC and he/they are good people from what I can tell.
