    Looking for a trustworthy shop

    Hey guys. I know its marginally technical but I need a trustworthy shop in SoCal, preferrably in the south Riverside county area.

    I towed my new trailer up to oregon and back a couple of weeks ago with a full load of furniture, went thru a scale at 20,640lbs gross. After the trip I have a rattle that sounds like it is coming from the passenger side rear of the engine. The truck has 213K on it and I don't know if the PO change the injectors ever. I need to find a shop that can run diags for me and see if my injectors are good, as well as the glow plugs. I am going to be making the oregon trip again soon with a couple of more full loads and want to be sure the truck is completely up to it.

    In addition to testing I may need a shop that will install injectors for me. If mine are bad I am going to replace them with some aftermarket injectors, probably bean's towing/mild street injectors. I know I can do all this work myself but I am pushing 60 hours a week at work and trying to get my condo sold and move to Oregon. I just don't have the time.


    Thanks
    :)

    In case we find ourselves starting to believe all the anti-American sentiment and negativity, we should remember England 's Prime Minister Tony Blair's words during a recent interview. When asked by one of his Parliament members why he believes so much in America , he said:
    "A simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in... And how many want out." Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you:
    1. Jesus Christ
    2. The American G. I.
    One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.
