Hi, folks. I am looking for a good diesel mechanic in the Westminster, Colorado area for a '97 F350 7.3L Power Stroke. Currently needs glow plug and/or injector work but am looking for someone to maintain it from this point on. Previous mechanic retired. I am hoping to avoid dealership prices. I want someone with plenty of Ford knowledge. ---

When I had a diesel, I had more luck with an actual diesel repair outfit for injectors and injector pumps. They knew tips that the dealers didn’t and the car ran better than when it was new.
