Hi I'm down in ft hood tx I've had some issues with my truck. I've went through it and 2 different shops no body can pinpoint the issue. I saw a ad on c list for a shop in cedar hill called diesel speed and marine.they rebuild injectors and hpops just looking for reviews before I take my truck to them.

Diesel Speed & Marine

Hey Space Heretic?

Here's my 2 Cents worth of diesel treatment review:

I'm from French Canada. Diesels are every-where there. I emigrated "Legally" in the 80's for University, Illinois @ Chicago. COLDER there than where I'm from.
Worked in Boston Taxxachussets before being gloriously transferred down to what I thought was the land of the sweatin' Cacti.

I apologise, I wasn't bourn here in Texas but I go here as fast as I could.

I love Diesels....wish America Had more Run-O-tha-Mill regular diesel cars than just the big rigs & trucks.

I also Love VW Westfalia Campers and the conversions of the Air-cooled beasty's to Diesels.

For the past 10 years, Diesel Speed & Marine has done work on my BMW's: I've got the original one from when I graduated H/S and took 2 years to save for it buying it in 1980, to the ones I bought in 1985, 1990, 1995 (Step-Son Totalled that beauty) and my present one a 2000 Station Wagon.

DS&M did the (what I thought) aggressive change over from an Automatic to a 5 Speed Manual conversion on my 2000 Wagon after the reverse Hub ring-land broke (An apparent known defect according to DS&M Techs that BMW quietly modified & changed in 2005 models & onward). Why the change to a 5 Speed Manual?? Because the freaking re-build on a BMW Transmission was looking to be around $6500.00USD.

DS&M suggested the change over & showed me that the "Fixin's" were already in place on the BMW Wagon in order to get it done for around $2500.00USD Parts AND Labour.

They got all the stuff from off of eBay & showed me everything they were doing & why. the ONLY thing they could not do?? was Reprogramme the DME/ECM Computer so I could get it State-inspected (Check engine light was on because it was throwing the "YIKES!!: there's no Transmission to work with any more" code violations).

That was remedied with a referral to "SPEC Motorsports" in McKinney, TX.

I know, I know...this is a Diesel forum, however I must be up-front that I received an eMail asking for my un-biased referral & opinion of DS&M & although I'm biased I must say that the Shoppes only fault?? is that they seem to take on too much work & are so eager to please & take care of people & their needs that they really drop the ball on their time scheduling....all I know is that I learned to be patient with that shoppes time on my projects because in the end?? I'm sure that all the great Master-pieces of Art & engineering, like any quality job that is done & invested the the time to do a job right??....all ran over-schedule on the timing.

Right now? DS&M is putting to-gether a "I'm comin' to meet yah Jesus" Wicked Big-Bore Kawasaki KZ1000 with a lot of custom features for me.

Yeah, because I'm easy to work with & I don't want to meet Jesus all that too soon & because I want a slow & steady wins-the-race quality job fdone on my project?? My project gets pushed back in favour of others who are either a bit more mean, aggressive or just impatient with "their needs" & with pushing DS&M to get their stuff done FIRST.....ME, ME, ME attitudes.....Gawd, that's one thing Canadiennes are not known for.

Can't You American's just kinda relax & let a specialist get what they need to get done in a proper respectful time element??

I think it's the "Fast-Food" Mentality......maybe.

Merde on Fast-Food, the only thing that ought to be "fast" is a Diesel!!

Well, at least when it's in a 1978 Westfalia Camper!! lolz.

Want to talk with me over the phone?? Just P/M me off of our Facebook page: Rhino-Lip USA.

Hope that helps.

(Sorry to be so long on the diatribe).

I wouldn't take it to a shop just because they rebuild injectors. Lots of people "rebuild injectors". You need someone who knows what they are doing to do some real diagnostics and see what's going on, not throw injectors and hpop at the problem. If you really need injectors, there's several reputable injector builders that are vendors here that are proven reliable with injectors.

There's a couple of tools you would need but there's no reason why without a little help, you couldn't do some diagnostics and figure out what's up on your own.

I know this is an old but i can tell you from experience these guys do crappy work. I sent in a hpop to get rebuilt got it back and it lasted 100 miles sent it back. pat gave me the run around for 9 weeks before i received it put it in and it lasted 10 min. i didn't have 9 more weeks so i went to O-Rileys got a pump the truck runs like a champ. this guy talks a big game his work is crap at best.

I'm glad you are "outta" here. I would hate to have to make sense of all the ghetto slang you are spewing all the time.
