Hello everyone, I was wondering if someone could recommend a mechanics shop I could take my 98.5 to for repairs. This is my first diesel and I’ve only lived in Phoenix a couple years so I’m not sure where a reputable place is. I’m looking for someplace in the north valley from I-17 on the east end to the 101 on the west end. Anything from Bell road north would be great. I can always take my truck to the dealer but I’ve always had great luck in the past using a quality, independent shop. So if anyone could recommend a shop that knows their way around the Cummins I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Do you need motor service or trans?

I bought the truck used and would like a good, honest shop to give it a full look over. I've got a power stearing pump leak and a pin-drop oil leak from somewhere. Also, the trans, 5-speed, grinds bad going from 2nd to 3rd, and from 4th to 3rd. I think it's the 3rd gear shift forks but would like a professional opinion. So I guess I'm looking for both, motor and trans. It's an 98.5, 24v, 3500 Club Cab Dually. I got the truck for a steal so I figured I could put some $$ into it and a little more $$$ into it, and still be cheeper than most other trucks I was looking at.

 

Nobody has a reference?

 

Rocky Mountain Cummins LLC will probably look at the motor. Don't know what to tell ya about the tranny though. RMC is down on 99th ave and the I-10.. Hop skip and a jump down the 101 from you..

 

There's a fe numbers here: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ighlight=trans

I spoke with Fred at Desert Diesel and found him to be extremely knowledgeable about these trucks and the automatics. However, I have not used any local trans services.

Thanks guys. I called RMC and they're a little pricey but I think I might go there for a full check-up and list of items to be repaired. Then I might try some repairs myself and get some aftermarket parts and find a more local shop to tackle what I can't handle.

 

Ben with A-Z Diesel has always treated me right, the ph# is 480-288-0177, they are on the east side though. I drive to them from Central phx.
