Brian,
Send me a private email if you want to rant and accuse me of cheating you out of money. I tried emailing you using the addresses
you gave me and they were full. Your voicemail was full. As far as the other stuff (TV boost valve, pump spring shim, band anchor pin, and 1-2 accumulator piston and spring)you told me you didn't want money for them, remember? I was going to send you money on my own and you said not to because you were trying to make things right because of the other problems with parts(bad parts, incomplete kit, bad valve body gaskets etc). You sent me those other little parts when you messed that other stuff up(retainer missing, some seals missing, steels missing,etc)...Remember? There were no other parts. Don't know what other parts you are talking about. You make it sound like you sent me some huge kit and I stiffed you. Nice try. After all the other parts didn't work(steel pistons, super servo, the 1-2 accumulator piston and springs, etc.), I didn't ask for any money back for them, just took it as a learning experience....just the 9/11 because it ended up costing me a LOT more money (another $1300 for another rebuild since it was dumping its guts into the tranny) and aggrivation because it ended up being the problem. My new stock TC has no problems, no shudder, no mysterious black crud in the pan, etc.) the tranny was rebuilt using new seals and clutches. Runs perfect now. The shop was incredibly impressed by my build and the accuracy of the clearances.
Venders don't have to refund money for a bad parts? Hmmmm.....is that the benefit of the internet? I know if you buy something at Lowes or Walmart and it is bad, you get your money back so you can buy another one somewhere else if you want. I didn't ask for $1300 for the rebuild,didn't ask for refunds on the other parts that didn't work, just the torque converter that I bought from you that caused the failure. I'd appreciate it if you would keep stuff like this private in the future whether it be me or anyone else. I went to the board just to see if anyone knew another way to get ahold of you or if anyone had heard from you so I could relay it through them that the converter had been returned.
JUST LIKE YOU TOLD ME TO DO. Remember, you told me to let you know when TCS got it and you would refund the monies for it.
This is silly. Why did you take this in an open forum?
If any mods could step in and lock this before others jump in and start bashing I would sincerely appreciate it. This could even be deleted entirely as I don't think this should have been taken to the level Brian has taken it. I sincerely apologize to anyone that read this and got a bad feeling about this board from the content here. This is not a place to bash anyone and I that was not my intent. Why you would get on here and try to falsely discredit me by saying I stiffed you for parts we had already had discussions over? I wanted to get a message through to you about the 9/11. If discrediting me by saying I cheated you out of money makes you feel better about what happened great. As long as
you know that that just is not true. If you are doing it to save face in a bad situation,a situation that I did not make, you go right ahead, I won't participate in this sillyness any longer.
My apologies to you guys and I won't carry this discussion on any more in this forum.
Oh yeah, Brian, I used the word "something" in that context so it wouldn't be advertised that a 9/11 went bad in a topic that several others would look at because it had your name in the title. I wasn't trying to add any strange underlying tone to it by doing that. I could give a crap less about protecting anyone's posterity in this now. Sorry if your trip went bad, it didn't have anything to do with me. If you want to vent about a bad trip, bang away at the keyboard and send it to me in an email. Not like you did here.
Blake
I apologize to the moderators. This is not what I wanted. I shouldn't even had responded to that crap. Just get's me hot when someone thinks they can just pop on here and make stuff up because they've been around a while
Anyone that needs to talk to me concerning this thread, my email is posted.
