I could not find anybody locally to do mine. In fact after talking to the so called pro diesel shops I realized that I knew more about the subject than they did. So I bought my own timing box.

I use this adapter: http://www.tooldiscounter.com/ItemDisplay.cfm?lookup=FERV765-01
And this timing light: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Equus-5568-Pro-Timing-Light/14644664
Here is a good write up on how to do it: http://www.oilburners.net/forums/showthread.php?42782-Timing-a-7-3-with-a-Ferret-adapter
Total cost $300 + shipping. Once you get the equipment, you can be the one to help others.

are you going to do all the work yourself or have someone else do it? I may be willing to swap pumps and time it for a few $$$.

I dont really know what you mean. You time the IP, which in turn times the motor.Just like on a gasser you time the distributor and youre set, same concept.
To put it in the simpelest terms. Your injection pump is a timed fuel distributor. on a spark ignition engine, ignition is the point at which a spark is sent to a spark plug from a coil via a diatributor to the spark plug igniting the fuel, on a compression ignition engine , ignition is started at the point of the engine cycle when fuel is injected into the cylinder , the compression has already superheated the air to the point where it is near ready to blow almost by itself, and just the mere addition of a minute spray of fuel from teh injector at teh correct time causes it to blow.
In your manual it will list that time as 8.5 deg before tdc by the pulse method, but with the new ultra low sulfur fuel advancing that to around 9.7 will make your truck run more like it was intended to from the factory
Having timing too far retarded will give terrible fuel mileage and lots of somking, too far advanced can give funny smoke too and can eat glow plugs. there really is a narrow window that a diesel likes to run properly in
Unlike a gasser, do not try to adjust the pump while running, you will likely damage something, and be carefull not to overstress your injection lines, if they do not want to give, loosen the caps at the injectors so the pump can turn. You do not want to crack one of those lines
