Money makes the world go round I had a really frustrating experience with a shop that prioritized profit over actual diagnostics. I brought in my '01 24v Cummins because it was hitting limp mode, losing pedal response, and smoking—plus it had a visible fuel leak. Instead of addressing the leak or the electrical grounds, the shop 'parts-cannoned' my truck.They sold me on a compression test (unnecessary for a 180k-mile engine) and a $1,800 injector replacement that didn't fix the issue. When the truck still had low power and smoke, they tried to sell me a $2,000 turbo. After a month in the shop and $3,000 spent, I finally took the truck back—still broken—and put it in my field.It turns out the real issues were a dying VP44 pump (damaged by air in the fuel lines), corroded ECM ground wires, and a turbo that had been stressed by high EGTs from the bad timing. If you know how to wrench, do it yourself or give the shop a very strict 'to-do' list, because this place just took my money without fixing the root cause.
