My girlfriends grandfather has a 2006 Ford f350 diesel. Its burning antifreeze and it needs a headgasket job. Who would do this in calgary and how much should it cost?

In Calgary I'm not sure where to take it. However do head studs to prevent it from happening again. Also eliminate the egr and replace your injectors. Then you'll have a 6.0liter that isn't a total pos.
if you were in lethbridge I could set you up.
Also Kane on the forums is a mechanic at international so he may be worth contacting. Garagefujimoto (Evan) is a parts tech at advantage ford. He can definitely help you out with parts.

I had a really good experience at universal both sales and service. The nice thing about universal is (i'm told) they have a separate area strictly for diesels with only qualified techs which I think is a really good idea. I didn't have a diesel at the time so no experience.

Also, I have no experience but Tirebob recommended broken axle. I've seen them advertise on kijiji.
