Thanks for the tip
Reached Fred on his cell phone
He recommended Miller Diesel Inc.
6030 Jonestown Road
Harrisburg, PA 17112-2668 (717) 545-5931 They look like they might be kinda high end
They have semi trailer wreckers for towing
Anyone else have any suggestions?

Jim, what's wrong? I'm the diesel guy at a Ford dealer here. The IDI engines are pretty simple compared to the modern day stuff.

Thanks,
I have a IDI which is before the Powerstroke
The problem is there are few experienced IDI mechanics
left to doing troubleshooting
