new to area, from SD

beachbum_jon · 01-15-2009, 10:08 PM

My name is Jon Cutler and i have been lurking around this site for awhile now. I just moved here to the Phoenix area from South Dakota to attend school at UTI in Avondale to be a diesel tech, i am taking auto/diesel/industrial. I have loved diesel pickups for as long as i can remember, and shortly after that i knew it was cummins or bust. Currently i am looking for a clean 12 valve, but i am not sure what the market is like right now.

I am from a 3500 acre~ farm back home and obviously been around diesels all my life. I saw a dealership that specialized in diesel pickups in what i remember as scottsdale, but i am not certain. it was something like arizona diesel mart or something like that, maybe someone can correct me on that and point me in a direction.

I look forward to learning alot from this site and maybe meeting a few of you along the way.

thanks guys, yeah im not sure of the name of that dealership, but they sold diesel pickups, but i dont think they did parts, i donno maybe they did.

yeah sd is boring, and very very very cold right now, my dad called me the other day and told me that it got down to -42,and thats without the 30mph wind that they had that morning.

if anyone knows of any clean stock 12 valves let me know, i am in dire need of one, even though i dont have to pull a trailer or anything, just got diesel in my blood i guess.
