Yes, I agree. Unfortunately, this is par for the course here in Missoula. Just big enough to have a shop like this, but not big enough for them to have any competition. Based on reviews of the few other dedicated diesel shops, they are the only ones I would trust to do the work right. But I agree, it would be painful. I don't think they care to work for my business because their lot was so packed full of broken Fords, I couldn't find a place to park or get my truck out when I came to pick it up.
The white smoke is only intermittent. Ovalized valve seats can cause low compression intermittently.
Good to know. I'll keep trying to get a quote from the international dealer.
Truck has brand new injectors.
Thanks for all of the replies.
Where did you get your injectors? I've seen lots of posts about people getting bad injectors new.
If you didn't get them from classic diesel design, R&D idi or Russrepair then I'd have them pop tested
