Default Mechanic Needed

Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum and new to diesels. Have always wanted one and finally bought one back in October. First oil change I come to find diesel in the oil. Reading posts leads me to believe that I have bad injector(s). Does anybody know a good diesel mechanic in the Dallas area that can be trusted. I don't trust dealerships as you always seem to take it up the rear when you go in. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

got lucky, took it to the dealership and they found no injector problems. In fact they couldnt find crap. They think the ecm may have acted up and are recommending replacing. I am just going to keep an eye on it for a while and if I notice anything funny again I'll go ahead with it. Thanks guys!
