Recently, several members of another forum have been scammed/screwed or whatever you want to call it. We've asked repeatedly that Mr. Ragin Diesel, Shawn Brown, chimes in to explain himself. No one that has been screwed can contact him and it is even to the point where his girlfriend has removed all of us from her "friends" list on facebook. Seem shady doesn't it?
One gentleman was sold a "performance tranny" that was said to hold 800 hp and was supposed to be from a "buddy" at a tranny shop in Arizona. Truth be told, he found a shop online in Tulsa, OK and had them build one. Another fact, the buyer found the shop and contacted them when the tranny shelled out. It was never supposed to hold 800 ponies and was in fact a glorified stocker. The buyer was out about $3000.00 and can't get a hold of Ragin Diesel for any answers shy of driving to Arizona and putting a boot in someones tail.
Another gentleman spent around $5000 (to the best of my knowledge) for head studs and a bunch of other stuff. Come to find out, the studs that were put back in were new stockers (which I'm trying to confirm) and some other crap. The forum is full of stories so I'm para-phrasing.
Another guy told them to order exhaust and was told it was on backorder. After four weeks, he called another dealer and had one in three days.
Several other members had troubles also.
I am by no means the "vendor police" but it urgs me no end to see my buddies get screwed and want to pass this on in public forum to try to keep any of you all from getting scammed also.
Do Not Order Anything From Ragin Diesel. He's a CROOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If Mr. Ragin Diesel ever logs on or returns phone calls, I'll be the first to appologize if I'm wrong, but there are too many stories from trusted sources...and folks that have lost thousands...for this not to be true.
BUYER BEWARE.
This gentleman and his gf moved from Arizona to Ponca City Ok where they were taken in by a whole group of diesel heads and taken care of from free rent to free furniture etc and then ended up lying and cheating almost everyone they came in contact with. Once the deeds were done....moved out of town, back to AZ.
AND...there was no shop. Just a cell phone to pass on orders. I guess now he has a place....a buddies...imagine that.
