Ford Diesel Electronics Mechanic Victoria

[kaelc]

Anyone have a good mechanic for troubleshoot ford 6.7 and doing electrical/electronics? I just went through a review of the Victoria ford dealership online service reviews and it looks scary.

I’ve had good experience with EDP and Prospect Lake, just not sure if they are up to the electronics troubleshooting, or if that needs to be done at the dealer these days. My buddies code reader was throwing a tons of codes after it wouldn’t start, with new batteries.

Ya I had a bad experience with Suburban breaking off the head of a bolt in the tailgate on my 6 month old truck. When I pointed it out they said it was like that when I brought it in. It was dark so went home. Next morning found the head of the bolt in the bed so I could never trust them. Island Ford in Duncan has provided much better service.

Crazy. Replace the bolt, keep the customer.

Cool, I might whip out to west coast tire, they put my tpm on and they have always been finaky. Thanks!

Thanks guys. I got her running smooth but brought it to Precision today, who reset my deck that was stuck on permanently after I replaced the batteries, probably causing the whole rabbit hole, won't start and 25 codes. They are installing my CP4 fuel pump disaster prevention kit and gave me a long list of PM work I need to tackle. The Advance Trac message is not on, but I'm sure it will come back! Good to have a guy who knows diesel's close by.

Which DPK did you get? Did you consider the S&S CP4 delete?

This? https://www.bcdiesel.ca/en/ss-diese...dzGQqb_q6PmjvtfQTqoQtt-Hu_sapm9hoCFroQAvD_BwE

No, I didn’t even look at the install time.

I only have 150k on my truck so playing the odds the pump won't go but if it does it won't write the truck off. https://www.canadiandieselonline.ca...JLCv2ZuE19UrR1ElPJbF-vP4nS_saxUBoCr7UQAvD_BwE

Yeah, that's it. The DPK is obviously the cheaper though option though.

 

[kaelc]

Probably a good investment for someone with high miles that hasn't done the prevention kit yet and trucks in good shape. Apparently 6 hour job if you are a mechanic, 12 for a hack like me. I figure you need a top side creeper and a good shop layout to do either job so happy to get a shop that knows what they are doing to do the prevention kit.

Yeah, that's it. The DPK is obviously the cheaper though option though.

Nice, where do you get your parts from? I just choked on the cost of a few regular parts. It looks like Dirty Diesel customs has good pricing.

I'm holding off on anything aftermarket for this truck until the warranty is done. Then I'll shop around...
