Sleipnir's FURD BURD Bigfoot thread: Oh chit we have proof of life!

Soooo, TT 5.4L swap?

 

Man you and me both. I just want the truck back so we'll see. Maybe I'll pay it off and sell it and buy a 2021 F150

 

Pffttt if I do the 2021 I'm doing the Power boost. 3.5L TT hybrid with the most HP and TQ in a half ton ever. Plus 700+ miles to a tank sound pretty good to me too

 

Morning Tyler!
That sounds like a fun weekend, I’ve briefly glanced at the specs it’s gonna be an awesome truck. I’m frustrated with what you’ve been going thru.

 

Took the Accord to get the AC recharged yesterday at one of those quick lube places and had some issues. There machine was showing weird readings and sent me to their full blown shop down the road. They get it and see my passenger radiator fan is not moving and says that's the problem. They wanted $400 to change the fan

It's a $73 fan on Rock Auto and four bolts. Needless to say I said no thank you and went home. I was about to hit pay on the new fan and decided to take one more look myself. Turns out the fan was just unplugged plugged it in and ac blew cold. Went back today to the quick lube to finish what I wanted and the AC blew 65* and they didn't do anything! They hooked the machine up and said all looked good. Saved myself $200 all for a plug

 

That’s a win for you but seriously they didn’t even look to see if it was connected.

 

Who’s to say they didn’t look? MANY years ago I worked at at an Aamco transmission shop. Guy brought in his Grand Am and said it wasn’t running right. I did the EDS on it- needed a coil pack. I want to lunch. I returned from lunch and saw the car on a lift with a tech removing the tranny. A coil job was like $200, a tranny $2500. I quit on the spot. It’s hard to find a good honest shop.

 

Ugh your absolutely right about that.

 

We need an update

 

Nothing to report lately. Going to prod the shop and see what's up. I think it's an easy repair but I'm not sure yet.

On a side note I did pay off the Accord

 

One project done. Lol. Now the main one.

 

Awesome sauce!!

 

Don’t let him get to ya. Just let the mods get rid of him

 

Guys don't waste your time shopping with stage 3. This is perhaps the absolute worst customer service Ive ever experienced. I placed an order for an item listed as in stock and ready to ship. After a week no tracking information i sent an email asking about the delay. I was then told the item was not in stock. I find it completely unacceptable that a company will sell an item they know not to be in stock and then not even bother to contact the customer. Let me be clear, had stage 3 made an effort to cancel my order or let me know the item was not in stock there would be no issue. Instead stage 3 did absolutely NOTHING untilbi had to ask why my items hadn't shipped. I tried calling stage 3 today to give them a chance to make things right and i was hung up on. Stage 3 obviously doesn't think they have an obligation to inform customers that they will not be receiving their order. As far as im concerned a company that keeps your money while knowing they can't provide the product while making absolutely no effort to inform the customer, that company is essentially guilty of theft. Again I would have absolutely no issue if stage3 made an effort to contact me regarding the issue. Instead stage 3 decided to keep my money, and then hang up on me when i asked for a modest dicount on my next purchase. Stage3 would be wise to realize they aren't the only off-road auto parts retailer.

 

@JimBeam I don’t mean to tag a mod and I reported the posts but please can someone do something about it?

 

Thank you sir I appreciate it

 

Morning Tyler hows thing going with the truck? Hope y’all are healthy and happy.
