    Love how these shops have these built rigs... to SUPOSEDLY "show what their shop can do" when we know the real reason is ego feeding and tax write offs... and the their shop is incapable (or unwilling) of even building the rig they are showing off.

    BA MF SAS 1st Gen is another prime example of this. Dude refused to even make anything for 1st gen all together.

    Shops build what they own. And they build what pays the bills for others. So If 1st gen stuff isn't profitable, it doesn't get built. Shops have to do work that pays--it's that simple.

    Slagging on Jerry is a little harsh don't you think? What he has done for people who didn't even buy from him is impressive. As far as building other vehicles, his isn't an automotive shop. It's a fabrication shop so why would he take on other builds?

    LMFAO... I've got plenty of reasons not to like Jerry, ma guy.

    And they have nothing to do with whether he chooses to build 1st Gen parts.

    People who know me, and know those reasons, know they are legit.

    Not a tacoma but I need help...

    I had an '03 vw golf tdi alh and the piston rings went bad. Rebuilt the motor with kerma 165hp kit, ran great for 3000mi and we got smoked at an intersection.

    Bought an '01 vw gold tdi alh to swap the motor and actually enjoy the work I did. Just got the motor in and it is cranking but no start.

    After the wreck motor was running, new alh was running. I have vagcom and no codes.

    I've tried disconnecting the electric injector, fuel pump sensors, oil sensor, maf sensor, I tried jumping the shut off solenoid. No change.

    I figured maybe the injection pump timing moved in the wreck and I messed with that. Def changed but no better.
    Re primed the pump and lines, I'm getting fuel in all 4.

    Dont see any loose connectors or hoses.

    Wire harness looks the same between the two cars.

    I even tried swapping the maf and bar sensors with the old ones and no change

    I'm at a loss right now. I hope the motor isn't ruined. Any have any insight?
