Diesel Bombers - Chris Brown

Hi. Mine is an '05 F-350 King Ranch, crew cab, FX4 4x4, long box. This is currently (shocking, I know,) in the local shop for an HPOP and IPR. I was thinking that after I get it up and running again I would take it out to Mesa for some BulletProofing, unless someone knows of a really good, professional diesel shop in the northeast Texas area (say, along a Tyler to Texarkana line.) Or, failing that, one in the San Antonio area as I'll be here for a while on temp job assignment. Or do I just sell/trade for an '11-up 6.7, and are they [significantly] more reliable? Any help and advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks much, and I look forward to hearing from everyone!
