Title: Who is the go to Mechanic in Nacgodoches for Cummins 8.3
Post by: Jimmy Freytag on January 14, 2014, 06:03:39 pm
We were on our way to Florida, and are hearing strange sounds at times that was no there before.  They are there only for a few second when  you accelerate or decelerate.  I have a banks system and watching the boost gauge it seens to be when the boost first start to rise or when it goes way down.  Other than that it run quite and smooth.  We just pulled into the Foretravel lot to spend the nite and get it check tomorrow before we have a problem.  Any help would be appreciated.  I can be reached at 214-762-6290  or email at freytags@cableone.net 

Thanks, Jimmy

Pat Hatfield says,
"Bernd Ramspeck is now in Nac...  he was in the process of moving his shop from Lufkin when we were there in October.  We had some work done at his new shop (on East Main near Greer St).  Definitely agree with Kent - the guy is an excellent diesel mechanic."

Rudy Legett says, "Bernd Ramspeck has done several excellent jobs on our coach so a big plus for him from us."

Chuck, Thanks for the info.  Got a call from Rudy also.  I called Bernd and he said he would be out in the morning to check it out.  Sound like he is the Go to Guy.

Thanks again,

Is Bernd a commercial mechanic in Nac? Or a friend?

If the former, please post contact info. I'm looking for adjusting the valves and injectors on our 1999 M11

best, paul

Paul,

Bernd Ramspeck
1917 E. Main
936-707-1584

As mentioned earlier, he's just moved his shop to Nacogdoches from Lufkin. It has several bays and a large parking area in front. No name yet on the business. Good work; reasonable rate.

Brend, replaced a bad turbo and adjusted the valves on my 8.3 Cummings. Was pleased with his work. Would use him again.

I have heard good things about him but hope not to need his services.
