Yep, 'tis a sad day.

If you are less lazy then I am you could find a few more explanatory posts on the forum. Basically the market is too saturated for him to compete.

Which is ironic considering how many goodies I get to look at for my truck. Everybody else gets to buy air intakes and I get to buy a pot.

Alright Doc... I guess the 5KVolt security system needs more attention...LOL...

The whole world is going to he!!...

Piers bailed out on PDR, Scotty shut his doors . And now I hear that since Cummins has taken over and branded the Holset turbos, parts are SCARCE!!! If you had your eye on an HX35 or parts for them, get in line!!!! I assume all the 40's 50's and 55's will soon follow as parts dry up. ***??

I thought that Piers was PDR? PDR stands for Piers Diesel Research, correct?

Are my PDR hats suddenly more valuable?

And whats this with Cummins owns Holset?

Cummins always had primary ownership in Holset. Now as of the first of this year Cummins is BRANDING their products under a new initiative. You will not notice that Holset is Cummins Turbo, Fleetguard is Cummins Filters etc with all their arms... Go to the Cummins Website and look it up.. If you go to holsets site, it has a new face too..

Holset announcement

I have a PDR hitch plug!!! I think all that stuff is a collector item now. Now PDR is PDR Performance... Piers has left the building and landed over at PacBrake from what I read so far.

I haven't read the skuttlebutt thread, but he did give some info on the watercooler thread...

**** being deployed SUCKS!!!! I was hoping to get the fuel line kit when I returned too! Oh well, guess I'll never know.....

Although I never had any personal experience with your products, I had chatted on the phone once. In that I had decided on SCOTTY for the fuel line kit. From what I hear I am not alone in that that experiece. I just wish I could say thanks as a customer.
