Hey Adam,
Ifin you're thinking of selling anything to jeff, get payment first...been over a year trying to get him to either return or pay for a set of 13mm P&B's he got from me. jeff I've given you lots of chances to make this right & i warned you if you didn't pay i would go public, so unless you want me chasing you around...pay yer freakin bill!!
Who you talking too? Ifin it's me, maybe ya outa rethink yer words. ifin it's jeff, you'd be right, well over a year to pay parts you've recieved...at cost is not right
while I agree it is a ****ty way to do things, so is not paying for something you have received. And I have been "working" with jeff for well over a year on this problem. Once a person stops answering your emails...after promising to make payments, just what way do you propose a person, who's thousands of miles away, do, to get the person who has done the wrong to come clean? I don't recall calling jeff a douche bag..as you so politely put it. I do remember "trusting" jeff to pay for those parts, i do remember putting jeff into my trust and freely giving out lots of advice & helping him with a number of questions he had...over several years. Why did he choose to burn that trust and screw me over on parts, that he knew, i had sent to him at cost?
Who knows, maybe jeff will post himself on this problem.
Am I sorry it ended up this way, yep, but it was not i that chose this route. Multiple promises of checks in the mail & then just to stop comunication...and it's not like there was a major hasselling going on, we are talking about an email every few months. So maybe, before getting on the douche bag train, you ought to try and see the other side of the story.
Ahhhhh Piers. Way back in 98-99 is when I first started dealing with you.
I bought my first aftermarket diesel turbo upgrade from you, and come to think of it also the second turbo upgrade- and a whole slew of other parts from the company you started. You had my respect, and I have a stack of invoices with thousands of dollars spent with your company. I didn't mind paying alittle extra on all those Cummins Parts either.
If you remember I used to call and request to speak to you directly, I really didn't like dealing with the arrogant person answering the phones there and rather have dealt directly with the source- you.
I came to the point of needing a done up cylinder head- although I had played around with gasser cylinder heads- porting and polishing-ect. I needed a new head for a 24V. I spoke to you about the Stage 2 and decided to order
Brand new 24V cylinder head @ $1300.00
Stage 2 Port and Polish @ $1495.00
and a O-ring job to complete this upgrade @ $200.00
Again in the past I had very great dealings with you and again you had my uptmost respect.
That is until the crate showed up. :doh:
When I removed the head from the crate, I was disgusted at what I saw. The exhaust ports looked like a mere rookie had thrown a dremel with a tootsie roll on it in there to knock the casting flash off the port walls.:bang
The O-ring job was not even par with competent work. How is it that on cylinders 4-5 and 6 the O-ring wire did not properly meet with an angle cut and butted ends? There were measureable gaps in this O-ring job- kinda defeats the purpose of even having a O-ring job when there are gaps to help leak out psi.
I called over there to talk to you and now the name was changed and you were no longer a part of the busness that you were known for. I explained my findings and seemed to get the phone treatment. All I wanted was wire- so I could complete this O-ring job properly the way it should have been done. No wire was sent.
After catching up with you and tracking you down again- we did speak on this cylinder head- to which you said they hired a new porter over there and you weren't too familliar with him. Ok fine then, I can accept that- but again all I requested was the wire so I could pull out the unsatisfactory O-ring job- and complete it properly, nevermind my feeling raped on the port work.
No wire never,ever showed up. :what:
I guess it is ok to be satisfied with a lump of iron that cost me over $3000.00. :bang
Do you know that I
still to this day have yet to use this head? I was so disgusted by this that it sits collecting dust. Still brand new-unused. Same gaps in the O-ring job.
Piers, I most certainly have your money. I will send it out via UPS Next Day Air on Thursday. I will even post a tracking number here along with a copy of the money order, since you wanted to go this route. Which is fine by me.
However your being aggravated over this only begins to make a smile form on my mug. Maybe, just maybe one day a package will show up with wire in it- and I can smoke a cig after the wire is installed- people tend to have a smoke after having relations. Eh?
Dug out the reciept cause I knew I still had it.
4+ years- I've been waiting.
