Need good 6.0 Power-stroke Mechanic

[2003Summit]

I need a good mechanic/shop to do some work on our 06 6.0 Power-stroke

I have been told the seal on the oil line on the back of the injector pump is leaking and this is why it has to crank so long to start it when it hasn't been running for a few hours. It starts up right away if it's only been off for an hour or so, even if it only ran for a minute earlier and for the first time in the day. We are talking summer time here. The dealer wants way to much money to fix this.

I have also got some other concerns with it as well, blows some blue smoke when cold. ie. also in the summer. I'm told this is a bad sign.

This truck has about 260,000km on it (work truck) and there is lots of life left in the rest of the truck - would like to get the engine running a bit better. The head gaskets were replaced in 08.

Need to find someone that specializes in the 6.0 Powerstroke, or at least has worked on a lot of them.

Thank you.

6.0 was a good motor if you know the right mods and run syn 0w40 in them, soory don't know any techs other than dealers.

Which is why you put the 5.9 cummins in the ford.

PM summitric from the site he can work on these things with his eyes closed already. From the sounds of it he rarely doesn't have a broke Ford sittin at his shop.
