yeah, my buddy used to work their years and years ago, so i have seen that place, im deff over kragen.

and as for the pos, i did an oil cooler, threw some new seals in the turbo, cleaned the sticking vgt problem, an egr delete kit and 2 injectors, funny thing is the truck just went outta warranty last month, those mother ******* screw you bad, just be glad your not the one spending 5k in repair parts plus my labor on a truck with just over 100k miles. and it has not been a smooth road till today, its had a few egr coolers, turbo's and tranny's thru is short 5 year life.
