"Different Mechanic"?...Just my.02 worth...how many "mechanics",have you left it with?I would really like to say with all due respect,that don't sound too good to me.Some "mechanics" will tell you they know about Fords or 7.3's or whatever,then just take it in and start guessing and charge you out the ying yang for a whole lotta nothing,and hopefully during all this guessing they don't screw something up...sorry guys..it needed to be said.....Phil
