Any Good Diesel Mechanics Around The Valley?

[akpowderhound]

Well this is our first diesel truck, looking for a good mechanic around this area. Hell, even someone who just does it for a hobby. Anyone know anybody out there who knows what they are doing?

Ive heard good things about the Diesel Doctor in Wasilla, kind of by the post office. Cummins, Powerstroke, or Duramax?
Ive been dealing with my fare share of electrical issues on my 24 valve

Are you having problems with it currently or just looking for suggestions just in case? What kind of truck?

it has has a hesitation when cruising before. You apply more gas to the peddle and it shift down and clears out. Only does it every so often. Well this has been going on for a while now. Guess it just died a couple hours ago and does not want to start. I know the glow plugs are due for a changing. Im kinda thinking it is a fuel pump issue just going off what I herd it is doing. I dont know much about these diesel's though. This is a
2004 Ford Powerstroke 6.0L
about 130,000 miles on it now.
Has been an Arazona truck until last year. Clean rig for the year and miles.

Could be the fuel pump. Do you know when the fuel filter was last changed? They should be changed every 15k to 20k miles. May be worth running some injector cleaner as well.

hubby said it sounds like a cam positioning sensor that has gone bad.
