I will get that fixed ASAP Lloyd.

This whole mess flared up yesterday because 2 of the 3 incidents I considered important enough to warn people.

One customer was told by a Diesel shop he could get our injectors. That Diesel shop was NOT a dealer. After nearly 3 weeks the owner began calling around only to be told that the Diesel shop in question was not a dealer and never sent any injectors to us. Poor guy, was told he would be getting F1 injectors, but the Diesel shop sent them to someone else. The Diesel shop in question will suffer for this if I go broke making that happen.

Second incident is that 5 people have told me now that some dealer is claiming they provide us with our valve springs. And this is the reason the cost is so high. Thats simply NOT true. The same person is telling people that our springs wont run on a stock cam. Again, total BS.

Trust everyone first, but verify their information before pulling out the wallet.

DON,


Thank you for nipin' this in the bud before it gets too out of hand.



I know what kind of a headache your going through as it is a constant battle in the snowmobile mod world also. Something to think about is that this is a huge pat on the back for you. The products that you have out there for our trucks are hard to compete with and its too bad these losers "wish" the were a dealer for you.



It's too bad whoever these idiots with "diesel performance shops" are that low that they have to try and make a buck by lying to "their" customers.

He must be pulling on your leg. I can count on one hand the number of people who bought ANYTHING from me direct. I dont know anyone called JFranklin ( if that is his name )

Lloyd,
Wade bought some springs from one of my dealers ONCE. Some things are just not worth the time. lol
