[VAC] Suburban 6.2L diesel

[Terry Tyler <tylerbears@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Chyde,

If you haven't asked Bill Lynch, owner of B&A Diesel Service, Corinth, NY
(518.654.9740) for his opinion about fixing it, that's an option.

If he knew you could be bringing it to him for service, he might tell you
enough to enable you to fix it yourself.  He's super busy and I suspect
would prefer that option. He's an extremely knowledgable guy who likes to
provide information when he can't take any new appointments for service or
has to cancel a long standing appointment at the last minute.

The latter is exactly what happened to me last week.  I was at his place
(8am Monday morning) with an appointment. He couldn't fit me in due to
several emergencies that came in Sunday night with owners of diesel engine
trucks from other states who had million dollar horses to transport. They
needed to be at another race track in three days.

Bottom line - if you need service this winter when the Horse crowd (Saratoga
Race Track) is gone,  you'll think of him and consider making the run down
from Plattsburgh. He's appreciative of all work from October to March.

It might be worth a phone call (7:50-7:55am is best time - just before his
employees arrive at 8am). Of course, you run the risk of him being grumpy
and not telling you anything. If that occurs, call him again the next
morning.   <grin>  You know the drill.  He's your friend and you respect his
opinion.  In fact, when you do meet him, that'll be the case.

One additional option is join the diesel engine owners club that I mentioned
in a previous post. You can do that with a phone call and credit card. Then,
you'd have your own private diesel engine specialist to consult on any day
of the week - for an entire year.

As I said before, that's what I do and it works smooth as silk - regardless
of where I am on the continent. It's a vastly different song and dance in
terms of getting the job done right the first time when my guy can talk
decisively to the diesel engine service man in East Podunk.
