Diesel Mechanic

[Licreek]

Just bought a 06 Ford with 6.0 SD. I live in the flordia Keys and there are no diesel services down here. The nearest city is Homestead which is still small, or Miami big city. Any help with how i go about finding a good mechanic who knows diesels? I need to find out what updates have been done to my motor, like head bolts. Anyone know shop in the Miami area? Thanks, Lee

I don't understand OP?

Didn't you ask what mods or updates were done to the truck when you bought it?

If you go to a Ford dealership have them pull an OASIS report for you. It will only show what updates and work Ford did.

If the mods were done by a non-dealership only way to tell what mods were done to the inside of the motor is to tear the thing down and look.

Good luck.

I think you are rude. You wanted to know what updates had been done on the motor, your exact words. If anything had been done pursuant to recalls, they would have the records. Even perhaps, they could offer you a referral to an independent garage who also could help you. With your attitude, you will need all the help you can get. Good luck!

There is a Ford dealer in Key West. They can't help you?
