they are replacing the clutch which is on the way, should be here by friday.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

Good to hear they are standing behind it atleast.

[BroncoJo]

ya the first time I talked to dan (the owner) he said they would replace it, it just took three days of calling back to actualy get them to send it out.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

You would probably be surprised at how many people call once and then never call again.

So have you found anybody to pull the tranny or you just going to save the coin and do it yourself. I would think with even $100 in beer you could attract plenty of help.

[BroncoJo]

trying to work something out with a good friend who has a muffler/do it all shop. the problem is he's reall buisy right now and now really setup for a truck my size.


I could get plenty of help but
1 I would really like to have it in before this weekend, has to be in before school
2 I would end up doing the wrenching while others drank beer.

I really do hate paying others so much money to do something I normally could.

[BroncoJo]

I don't even think valair has shipped the damn thing yet. They wouldn't fawking talk to me after they fingered that out. we shall see monday. Just my ****ing luck

[BroncoJo]

still won't return my calls...

[Eckert]

**** your life...right?

[DRAGOONRANCH]

pm me their number and your particulars and i will call them for ya.

[BroncoJo]

**** your life...right?

not my life, just the summer... hopefully

pm me their number and your particulars and i will call them for ya.

I have been unusaully nice so far but that changes tomorrow.

[BroncoJo]

clutch should be in today or tomorrow, they say.

[BroncoJo]

got the clutch in today, and as much as I hate to say its going to the shop tomorrow. Pretty sweet deal though as my dad is going to pay for it, as long as I help him with some stuff tomorrow (stuff I was going to have to do anyway ). looks like it will cost 420.

[DRAGOONRANCH]

ouch, even at 7 hours at $60/hour that is no bueno.

At least you will have wheels back.

Update:

Truck is running again but with a luk (I think) clutch not a valair one. Basically the one valair sent me was worste than what was in it. The pressure plate was machined horribly and would not even fit on the flywheel. After a closer inspection we figured a bad pressure plate to be the cause of the first failure. I have some pictures somewhere I just need to find them.

This caused me to spend several hours driving to find another clutch, the truck to be on the rack for an extra day, and some more out of pocket cash.


I have been trying to contact valair for the last week and have been getting a run-a-round. Only once have I actualy been called back and I missed it. I have been extremmly well mannered but I don't know what to anymore. I think they should at the very least send me a clutch thats not ****ed up but I would really like my money back. Any Ideas? If they don't get back to me this week I figure I will just post up on all the diesel fag forums with the pictures and details, as a way of blowing off some steam.
