I'm countin' down the days - since the new 350 40 over motor I bought spun the bearings at less than 500 miles I had to pull the motor and have it rebuilt. It took four months to build my truck and I only got to drive it two when the bottom end went out of the new motor. I went to the machine shop last Saturday where they're redoing my motor and checked out all the new stuff they ordered and checked on the status of my motor being ready. BAD MISTAKE - all I want now is to drive my truck again. Hopefully though this guy will stand behind the motor unlike the guy I bought the other one from who basically told me what I could do with the motor cause I certainly don't won't to be pulling the motor again in two months and my bank account can't take another round of motor bucks.

sounds like that first guy needs a whipping.. but short of that.. i'd be telling my tale of the quality of his work and his guarantee policy to all the local people that might frequent his shop including ther local parts house (try to hurt him on the referals and such)

The really sad part about the whole thing is that the guy is a member of this site. But, live and learn I guess. Like I tell my son, sometimes we have to learn the hard way.

Funny, funny. You know I don't want to hurt his feelings. Besides, his J20 blows my Waggy away so I guess it's only right that my Luv blows his s10 away, right? :lol:
