where do you get truck work done?

I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a diesel performance shop locally in De. or in nearby states. I was wanting to get a few things done, that I don't think I want to do myself. I would like to get the Diesel Turbo Saver installed that does the timed engine shutdown. I would like to get the Mag-Hytech differential cover installed and also the Mag-Hytec tranny pan. There are other things like gauges too but for the time being these are things that may help prolong the life of my 6.0L.

It might be good to start a thread that lists local shops and some reviews on their work. Just a thought.

I have used AAMCO in the past and they did a great job.

Ryan, tnx for the reply, I can't locate them on the map. I googled the area in Ridgely, md. but could not find any shop with that name. It came up on a google search but no address which would help me find them on streets and trips maps.
Have you had work done there and is it a regular repair shop?
Again, tnx for the reply
Barry

Barry, they are not what you call a local shop. Its run by a buddy of mine who is a diesel freak. He just built an insane dodge. Dropped in a 12 vavle and its just nasty. Sorry the shop is in herderson MD. He does this as a side job to include run a moble dyno.
T-N-T Diesel Performance
If you want diesel work done I would trust no one else. Brett and crew are top notch. My buddy had a Goerend tranny put in and he was only down about three days. His customers come from all over just to get work done. PA, NY, NJ WV are some of the plates I have seen at the dyno days he has had at the Farm/shop. He won't do something you dont want or need. Tell him Ryan with the Farmboy Fabrications sent you. His numbers and email are on his site.

For all of my non-warranty work I have used Heads-R-Us in Camden. The owner is one of the most honest mechanics I have found. My truck just ran out of warranty this month. I discussed head gaskets and injectors with him...just in case. He said he has a diesel mechanic nearby he trusts that he would send me to if it was a job to big for him.

A good friend of mine is good fiends with brett as well. Brett just finshed up his 12 valve, sounds like its gonna be a nasty twin set up. My buddy Owns the dyno that is at the shop.

Brett had it finished last year I have video of it pulling. He just wasn't happy with some things and had to go back and readjust a few little things. Its going to be nasty when he has that thing dialed in. Also you know the dyno is for sale right?

As far as i know, The dyno that is there my buddy owns, he just bought it last fall. I dont know if he bought it from brett or where he bought it from, but it may be for sale agin, im not sure. When I said that "Brett, just finshed up his 12 valve," I ment he just finshed up my buddies 12v.
