I want to share my experience with CT Diesel so others can make an informed decision.
I originally took my 6.0 Power Stroke to CT Diesel for an oil leak. I was told the leak was coming from the oil cooler. Since the engine was already apart, I discussed having the truck studded to help prevent the well-known 6.0L head gasket issues. I was sold and billed for ARP head studs as part of the repair. I was also told the glow plug harness was contributing to the oil leak and needed replacement.
During the repair, I was informed the injectors could not be reseated and that new injectors were required.
After getting the truck back, the oil leak was not fixed. The truck returned to CT Diesel and a second glow plug harness was installed.
Later, I began experiencing temperature-related issues. CT Diesel replaced the oil cooler a second time.
The temperature issues continued, and eventually I experienced a blown head gasket. I was then told the cylinder heads were cracked.
CT Diesel installed replacement heads that I was told were new Jasper heads. However, the temperature issue still wasn't resolved. The very next day, CT Diesel installed a third oil cooler.
The temperature issues continued even after that.
I eventually took the truck to another mechanic. During their inspection, I was informed that the replacement heads on the truck were cracked and that the head gasket had failed. The mechanic also began identifying parts that CT Diesel had billed me for that were reportedly not on the truck, including the ARP head studs that I had specifically discussed, purchased, and was billed for.
When I brought these concerns to CT Diesel, I was told the repairs were outside their one-year warranty period, despite the fact that the truck had accumulated fewer than 5,000 miles since much of this work was performed. I also pointed out that I repeatedly returned the truck to CT Diesel with the same unresolved issues, including bringing it back immediately after repairs because the problems had not been fixed.
After multiple repair attempts, multiple oil cooler replacements, replacement heads, repeated visits, and significant expense, I am left with more problems than when I originally brought the truck in.
Based on my experience, I cannot recommend CT Diesel and would encourage anyone considering them to thoroughly review their repair documentation and verify the work performed. read more
