Ask for Eli
He's done the overhead on mine & my neighbors truck and also the ECM tune on both.

I know he did a rebuild for @Guntoter.

 

Engine or truck? Truck call Arizona Laser Alignment.

Depending on what it is my wrench might help on Saturday, but Thanksgiving, I'll bet everyone has bugged out for the weekend.

 

+1 on Arizona Laser Alignment .... for alignments they cannot be beat.

For other work they are very competent ... but, seriously felt overcharged on parts markup and excessive labor the last two times I chose them for scheduled suspension/bearing/brake/mechanical work. Didn't ask for a quote and they hit me with a day and half and 16hrs of charged labor for something I expected 6 to 8 hours on, brought them most of my own parts which is why I think they hit so hard on labor. Last one was $200 over price quoted (thought I learnt my lesson and asked for an estimate) for simply pressing in new torque arm bushings. Cost on bushings was twice what I could get them for from Kenworth on my account. Stung enough I would rather, and will probably in the future use Betts.

For Electrical ... Hands down I would try to go see Ray. Think the name of his shop is Arizona Certified Diesel Service. His shop is on 59th Ave and Bethany Home. Will PM you his number once I find it.

I have a couple other trusted guys, but they are small scale and can be rough to get into.

 

Eli is your guy for ECM related issues.
Suspension work, kingpins & other related issues, I have used Betts Truck Parts & Service 7375 W. Buckeye Rd.in Phoenix-they also have laser alignment equipment.

 

I just had my turbo sensor / harness assembly replaced.

Electrical issues are so miserable.

When they first start, wrenches are scratching their head, because they can wind up using lots of hours trying to diagnose something that isn't happening right at that moment.

And some sensors are pretty expensive. That turbo assembly was $250.

So you actually have to let the problem get worse, do it's easy to diagnose.

I stopped at a TA when mine was getting bad, just to make sure it wasn't after treatment / DPF related, and it showed like a 100 hits of turbo over speed, 65 of under speed or improper speed, intake pressure off several times.

Not being a rocket scientist, I thought it's got to be a sensor, because at times it would clear. Mechanical nut and bolt issues on these big engines typically don't act like that.

Now it runs like raped F ape lol.

If yours is getting bad, it will be easier to diagnose at least.

I took mine to Kenworth. Very good shop, not cheap, but they always fix the truck, but it's the one in Pueblo, CO.

Starting acting up bad on me after I went to SoCal, then half way up 395 with 32k in the box.
