Reputable diesel shop in Omaha?

Cekkent · 10-14-2009, 08:16 PM

I recently upgraded from an 85 Chevy pickup with 6.2l diesel to 06 Dodge 2500. I must say i'm loving having power now!

The truck I bought was purchased cheaply as it seems to have an intermittent knock/rattle/thunk when accelerating, and a vibration from 1600-1800rpm in all gears. I put in a gallon of Diesel Kleen on a tank fill-up and that seems to have gotten rid of a lot of of the knock, but the vibration remains.

I did some research, and unplugged the "FCA", which made the knock appear all the time, and very loudly, which makes me think it's not the "FCA".

I didn't do my research before I purchased the truck, else I probably wouldn't have, due to the $450+-apiece injectors.

So obviously it's rather expensive to just throw parts at it til the problem is solved. Can anyone recommend a good diesel shop in Omaha that can troubleshoot this issue? I never had to have anyone else work on my 85 Chevy, as it didn't really give me an issue.

One of my coworkers suggested Diesel Specialties on B street. Anyone have experience with them?

Diesel Specialities doesnt work on trucks anymore from what I heard. I guess they just work on pumps etc and of that sort. We go to Midwest Diesel in Beemer. Great guys talk to Dave.

Correct, DSI doesn't do any drive in work anymore. There are a couple guys with their own company just south of Blair that I would highly recommend. They both used to work at Woodhouse as diesel techs and started out on their own. They did my clutch and I know many people that are highly satisfied with their work. If you want their info pm me and I'll give it to ya

It is a drive but when I originally had my DDP 90's installed I drove to Beemer to have them do it. Great job and i was actually suprised at the bill!! I love small town pricing! Very reasonable!

Local gut down here put my clutch in for $350. Did it quick and right. St joe diesel quoted me $720 for the install but those guys make Corky look smart. I'll never do business there.
