... If there was such shotty work being done out there, i'd figure anyone with common since, would 1. take it back, 2. sue their ass off... since i havnt heard anyone do either yet, it just seems as if there are a buch of web tuff guys.. .
Well, I actually thought about taking him to court. I tried to be as flexible as I could about things, but he was taking things a little too far and it was getting pretty fuckin stupid.
I did not sue him because it was pointless. I dont want to ruin his business just because he fucked me over. Even if I did, what would I get from it??? Not shit. He doesnt own his shop, I wouldn't be surprised if he rents his home, and he isn't riding around in a Lexus. If I was to sue him, they would have to liquidate his assets, which consists of his tools and what? I wouldn't anything out of the deal, and I see no reason to pursue hanging a debt over his head. HE PERFORMED MY SWAP TO THE BEST OF HIS ABILITY. I CANT FAULT HIM FOR THAT, I was the dumbass that let him work on my vehicle.
Hell, I even took it back to have him fix the many faults I found after I got it back, and he half assed that, just as bad as he half assed the whole swap from the beginning.... Common sense SHOULD have told me not to go back and let him fuck me over a second time.
Nobody fuckin cares how long your hemi swap took or whatever, there isn't a book at the library to check out that says "how to complete a hemi swap in a jeep"
Actually, Teraflex has a pretty step by step instruction booklet on just what to do. I have swapped many emails with Mark Faulkner (owner and president of Teraflex) about the swap, as well as Tony Squier (who makes the wiring harnesses) I studies this swap extensively (to make sure I didnt get fucked over). I didnt have the tools or the time to do it myself, so I didnt fool with it.
As far as immature goes, Brendan has been running his own business and paid for everything at a pretty young age, what did you do? You still can't even change the oil on your dam motorcycle. You prolly couldn't get into college anywhere so you joined the military, pat on the back for that one, and now you think your better than everyone
Hey thats cool that he can run his own business, I just think he could do a lot better than he has so far, and I am NOT the only person saying this, so dont get pissed at me for agreeing with them.
Actually I CAN change the oil in my motorcycle, but I dont have much experience with the belts and the primary, I wouldnt know if they have too much slack or too little, and rather than screw that up, I let somebody else do it until I know a little more about it.
For what its worth, I actually graduated 3rd in my class and had scholarships out the ass waiting at my feet, but that isn't what I wanted to do with my self.
I DONT think I am better than everyone. HOWEVER, after the way you want to come on here and assault me over my opinion like it actually hurts you if I dont like Brendan (damn, what are you his brother, dad, boyfriend {I sure didnt think he was gay} or somthin?), I would say I am better than you. The things you say show a great lack of character.
well said Josh,i stopped by over their in March and Brendan had it torn apart,it was sitting outside with the heads off the block with water standing in the cylinders and no rags or nothing covering the bores,if he didnt clean the holes up i bet the rings are going to last
well that sounds fuckin awesome. Good thing I was in Arizona and didnt catch my jeep sittin out like that. hell, I would lost my mind if I saw that.
There wasn't really any problems with the hemi swap other than the time factor, Brendan decided on rebuilding a blown hemi motor instead of getting a new crate one because the crate motor would have cost more than the whole swap, getting parts took forever for the hemi motor.
Yeah, but he had EVERY part for that motor as of January
13th, from then on it was not a lack of engine parts that held things up.
He also had a machine shop problem where they didn't check the heads at the shop and they leaked coolant when assembled, that was all fixed by Brendan with no extra cost passed on to the owner
Ya know, if Brendan had told me that, I wouldnt have been that mad. He told me that HE NEVER HAD THE HEADS CHECKED. Hell yeah it was fixed at no extra cost to me, it wasnt my responsibility to have the engine repaired, Brendan agreed to do the whole swap for a certain price, if the motor was more fucked up than he thought, that is his problem not mine, he has to hold up to his agreement.
Once it was done the dumbass jarhead that owns it overfilled the transmission by 2 quarts because he can't read or something, its says on the dipstick to check in neutral and he checked in park, the extra fluid got filled with air bubbles at highway speeds and cause the solenoid pack to fail in the transmission causing intermittent fail safe when driving at highway speeds.
Well, Im sorry I didnt know that dodge was different from Chevy and Ford, I had no reason to assume any different. Regardless of the fact, the transmission is not fucked up, and I have been driving the jeep plenty since getting it back in June with NO PROBLEMS in the transmission, so it must not have done too much to it.
The taurus fan Brendan installed punctured a hole in the radiator,(his fault) he offered to fix it but the owner needed it the same day and couldn't wait for the radiator shop to fix the broken tubes, and thats where it stands
yeah he did offer, and I appreciate that, but what really pissed me off is that the way he installed that fan. the wires were twisted together and taped up. No connectors, none of any kind, just stripped wires twisted together and taped back up.
Now thats professional
...danny is the guy you need to go to for any major mods... other then that there is a strong offroad community, in Wilmington, that can be of great assistance...oh and yes i had danny fix the rest of the jeep only because i got tired of PIss, dicin around...and i paid in more money oh well, i guess money talks...oh one more thing i found out that the owner of PI does not even have a business license....greenfield alignment will do lockers and gears...
