Diesel repair

I have a 2000 Allegro bus and I am in Palmer, Alaska. I need work done on my diesel engine and also the diesel equivalent of a tuneup as I am heading back to Texas. My question is does anyone know of a reliable repair shop that does fast turnaround. I have a service appt for frieghtliner but not until July 3rd. I need to be in Texas ASAP so Any help will be appreciated.
  • Need to break out exactly what you need, OR what are the symptoms.

    Things like fuel filters, oil filters, oil, perhaps air filter elements, belts, cleaning front of CAC are quite different than fuel injection system work or internal engine work.
  • Hopefully once service starts the parts are available, but shipping delays are always a possibility. Met a guy in Dawson Creek who was in day 19 getting his 5er fixed.

    Met a guy in Haines that took the ferry to Vancouver Island for MH repairs.

    Sorry - but if you must be in Texas you may have to fly.

    Have you tried these in Wasilla and just 13mi from Palmer?.....
  • This time of year for diesel repair in Alaska? I think you are lucky to get the July 3rd appointment.
