310 Diesel Mechanic Recommendations
I am the proud owner of an 82' Airstream 310 - renovated in 2013, blew an engine in Memphis, TN in 2015 - looking for a solid diesel shop within 200 miles of Memphis that could handle an engine swap - any suggestions

Is it a gasser now and you want to swap to a diesel or is it a factory diesel?

Hi!
Nice looking rig!!!!
Thanks for posting!!!

Ok, as stated in my PM to you, I took a look in some older magazines I have.
