Good repair shop SanDiego ElCajon area

Well, I need to find a good repair Shop in the SanDiego ElCajon area. I am really busy with work right now, but the old girl started Shaking pulling the 8 out of Alpine. Started at partial throttle, if I give it petal it smooths out, if I let off it smooths out. I am afraid I got some bad fuel, 200 miles earlier in the day, I topped off at a station I don’t use. It misses at an idle, I changed the filter, filled up with new Diesel, added Power Service, Lucas, blend, still same issue. No check engine light however. I need to get diagnosed and see if the BBI injectors I put in 12 months ago are toast, was thinking of adding towing twins, or at least a bigger turbo. I just added pacbrake airbags to my setup, I bought a 40’ toy hauler, I live in it, before the your truck is to small comments start. I tow it maybe a couple times a year short distance. Looking at adding a newer truck in a couple of years when I retire for towing full time. My go to shop is Browns in Riverdale, but I am 300 miles away, that is if I don’t do it myself, I like to handle it myself, I just don’t have the time. Nobody cares for your stuff like you do.

I think I got it figured out, Sorry been on an assignment, after crawling around the truck, I discovered the three suds that hold the CP3 on are gone. So after replacing the pump, two must have come loose and fell out, the last one on top must have snapped off. Thing idles smooth but as soon as you give it petal, the pump moves and it starts missing.

You can't go wrong with Joe and Pablo at NTG Racing in Santee. They are very experienced and know what works and doesn't.
It's the only shop where I can sleep at night after dropping it off. They are always busy but will stop everything in order to talk.
