I need some upgrade work done to my 95 Ford diesel and was wondering if anybody had any recomendations for a good mechanic. Thanks in advance.

What do you want to do???

I know an awesome diesel mechanic that specializes in Fords and Bullydog systems. I'm going to have him upgrade my 95 next year as well. He's a great guy and I know his family personally. He came out of some great diesel school in Nevada I think at the top of his class. He's young, but he knows his stuff and he's very reasonable and honest. I won't let anyone but him touch my truck. He's located in Greshan. Send me a PM if you want contact info.

Basically I am going to put in new injectors from beans and glow plugs. As far as exhaust, intake and intercooler I can do myself but the injectors might be too much. I don't want to lock up the motor. I also need comp tests done before I spend the money on the upgrades. The stealerships want too much money and don't like putting in other's parts. If you like you can PM me with your special mechanics too.

The injectors should snap in on those I believe. I think the exhaust would be worse

I also have a friend that does mods. he works at a perfomance shop during the weekend and moonlights on the weekends he has a 95 2x dodge that he has tweaked out its pretty fast. the only one I would let touch my stuff anyway when it comes to motor stuff. He is in salem and i am not sure where you are?

if anyone knows how to get more power out of a 91 7.3 non turbo without spending $6000 for the turbo/exhaust kits installed price

Theres a shop in Milwaukie that I spent lots of money at on my truck. Great service and prices.

watch around ebay and some Ford diesel websites. People have been known to upgrade their 7.3 turbos an sell the stock turbos cheap

. I'll bet you could turbo it for ~1000.00 .
