I'm looking for the same thing. I'm in South County. Interested in finding someone that can do general repairs, as well as a history of satisfied customers who they've bulletproofed. Two shops keep coming up in my search:
6.0 Powerstroke Diesel Repair - Home
Has a lot of videos on Youtube of trucks they've worked on. Plus has references to bulletproofing on their website.

Trucks on the way to that shop. He's located north of brandon ford on the right side of 301
He said he uses OEM Ford Head Gasket's at that shop. He has a $50hr flat rate.
His quotes:
EGR delete is $1k
* This includes labor and purchasing the EGR delete kit. Taking the turbo off and cleaning it and do something other preventative maintenance to include complete oil change and coolant flush.
Head Gasket with ARP's is $3500 and that includes the part's as well.
I'm having an issue with ICP/HPOP side of the truck. The truck is being towed up there.
I'm going to stop up there Tuesday and talk to him. I'm having a hot-start issue every now and then with my truck ('05 Excursion, '04 engine), and no power off a stop below 1500 RPM. Not sure if I've got an HPOP or FICM problem going on...
I've met Joe before, and actually just talked with him this morning. He sounded like he knew what he was talking about and had a bunch of 6.0's in his shop. Like I said, I wouldn't hesitate to take my vehicle to him.
I also asked my friend about his availability for side work, and he has some free time if anyone is looking for another option. He's honest, he does great work, and he's reasonably priced.
I'm about 2 hours south and have an ex ford tech that does awesome work and way cheaper than what I'm seeing you guys post let me know if you are interested he does all my 6.0l work. Quick turn around also
Shelbyyoder where is you guy located at, I'm located in Englewood and looking for someone to do some work. I have a guy who is amazing with diesel but is slammed with swamp buggys and fire engines right now.
I just talked to him right now he isn't doing much work because his weekends are tied up getting his house ready to move into so he doesn't want to disappoint anyone with time wise but when he is done he will be at it again
Thanks, I'm not ready for it right now, I'm still buying all the parts but it would be a egr delete, oil cooler, exhaust , head studs, lift kit and maybe a few more mods. All it takes is time and money.
He's the guy fishinthebox posted in the first link. I haven't personally used him, but he has a good reputation in the area. I've met him a couple of times and would feel comfortable leaving my truck with him. He knew what he was talking about and had a lot of trucks in the shop at the time I was there.
Just left Joe's new shop. He is doing my studs, delete, and OEM HGs They do them cab off now. He knows what he is doing and honors his warranty if you do have issues. My buddy had his 6.0 bulletproofed a few months ago and blew an IPR screen a few weeks later. Joe drove across town and fixed my buddies truck in a circle K parking lot. Try and get the local dealership to do that for you!
Any update? How was your experience with Joe and his pricing? I've been meaning to visit him for the past 6 months. Well, fully loaded towing the boat up to Crystal River last week I puked a little bit of coolant. So it's time to take this seriously!
On another note, was talking to a friend that took his 6.0 to JSJ Off-Road in Bradenton / Sarasota for oil cooler and EGR delete. Was very happy with the service, price, and work done. In fact, his new cooler plugged up and they backflushed him a few more times no charge. https://www.facebook.com/pages/JSJ-Extreme-4x4/217850018258652
Not trying to belittle your point here, but on 2 occasions I have called KT in the middle of the day to discuss shipping on some parts I needed (ie: I needed same-day shipment). Both times I got a recording, and the one time I left a message nobody called back.
On this topic I'd rather hear about real-world experience. Does Kenny have that?
They did my shocks and RAS system last month. Good work, on-time as promised, price was a little high. They charge $200 for a 6.0 oil change. Asked about head-studs, EGR delete, and new oil cooler...their price is $4600.
Yeah...I was in there Friday talking to them and gave me the same price. Was pretty clear, starts at $4200...can go up from there if other problems are found. However, the list of what they do is pretty long. You can find the list here: Big 3 Diesel Repair - About Us
I was in to check prices on getting new oil cooler and EGR delete...his price was $1800 and included all fluids and filters and parts.
I live in sarasota which is about an hour south of tampa I heard about the big three diesel repairs they seem to do good work from what I heard they built a pretty awesome ford fummins there
Yes it very impressive it make over 500hp one day I want to be in that club I would love to drive that truck haha
