I am active duty military and was driving from San Antonio to my parents' house in Walker County on leave when my 2011 F-250 6.7L Power Stroke began going into limp mode around two hours into a 16-hour drive. The remainder of the 800+ mile trip, we pulled over every quarter mile to shut the truck off and restart it just in order to keep moving.
The following morning after arriving, I took the my truck to this shop and explained the issue, including the diagnostic trouble code that I had pulled. The tech pulled a “hol up” and jumped right into the engine bay and pulled back a sleeve of wire loom near the fuel temperature sensor, and instantly spotted the problem: a section of wiring had worn through its insulation and was causing a short.
They repaired the damaged wiring the same day, and since I had gotten the truck in later in the afternoon, they took it for a test drive the following morning. I was able to get the vehicle the following day at a very reasonable price, and since then, I've had no issues.
Also, when I went to get my truck I was asking if he had any suggestions that needed to be done or good preventative maintenance as it’s my first diesel he mentioned it rode rough even for super duty standards and suspected bad front support shocks. I replaced them the next day and found them completely blown. After being installed with new shocks, the ride significantly improved which I’m happy about because it pissed me off the way it ride and I couldn’t figure it out and not being able to tell. it had blistien shocks that looked brand new because they were so clean but they were intact blown blown out.
Glad this shop was here and open as I was expecting prices like San Antonio where it’s stupid expensive to get anything done much less even get a shop to take your vehicle as they are scared of anything not 100% stock
