LP and VP44 replacement in Las Vegas?

Any hints as to who to take it to for these replacements? (besides the rip off centers called dealers)

any one have experience with diesel dynamics?

i want this to remain stock as i'm looking for good mileage.

thanks in advance

You can't go wrong with Diesel Dynamics.

I have had good luck with J & S Diesel Service on Industrial.

"Stock" vs fuel mileage

Don't think just because you bomb it a bit your'e fuel mileage will suffer. When
My '01 was new, the best I ever got was 22 mpg on the hwy. Now I've got
about 300 hp/600 lb.ft torque and I get 22.5 hwy (unloaded) and average over 12 mpg pulling a 32' fifth wheel. 'Course, I've throwed an additional
$2,300. at it to have my 47RE upgraded, but now I smile at those hills!!!

Warning: once you start, it's hard to stop....even if you're broke!!

thanks for the input. I'll post what my experience is with whomever I get to do the work. It will be a while though as I'm in San Antonio Tx headed to Fla for Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Found an unsecured WiFi net and am sneaking thru it to get online.
