Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Help with a 97 slug in Cincinnati

[pfreer]

Hey all,

Quick story and couple questions. First of all, couple weeks ago I burned up my grid heaters when the solenoid stuck open. I didn't know what the problem was at first, but as I was driving home, the truck had like no power around 60mph climbing hills (feels like it has no turbo or something). I got the grid heaters, and the solenoid replaced at the dealer (owch still feeling that one) but the truck still feels doggier than before.

Question 1 - any ideas? The dealer also replaced the intake manifold gaskets, so I'm not sure it's leaking boost, but I was gonna check that.



Question 2 - anybody know any decent mechanics in Cincinnati they would reccomend for Turbodiesels???



I would tackle it on my own, only I'm working too much lately, and would feel better about someone who knows what they are doing work on my truck.



Thanks for any help

J. R. Adkins is about 2 hours away just south of Indy. I highly recommend him. In town, Diesel Injection on Reading Rd is supposed to do good work, but big $$ from what I've heard.

Do you have gauges on your truck?

Aw, c'mon, don't tease us like that! What's wrong with the truck?

I don't have the time to type it all out, I suck at typing. If he calls me I will explain what the problem probably is and he can write about it.
