    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    Can you explain? Are you saying that the build sheet for the VIN doesn't match what you are seeing in the pictures of the engine I have posted? If so, what are you seeing that could help my case they have given me a different vin?

    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    I somehow missed all the updates since my last post. Sorry I have been absent from replying. Here is where I am at.... They have agreed to give me a full refund, but I have to ship it back on my dime. I called UPS freight and over the phone they quoted me $5,135 (holy shit!) ...she then...

    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    Moving on.... To the comments of it sitting for a long time... I stand to disagree. Even the FL company balked at this saying a cold compression test warrants the readings are inaccurate. According to both the NY and the FL companies, the motor was run tested before it was pulled from the...

    This has been resolved and squashed and apologized over.....but since you bring it back up.... Let me explain where I was coming from... I asked for help. Tom said it wasn't anyone's responsibility to help. I never insinuated that anyone HAD to help. Isn't this what forums are for? Asking for...

    They now refuse to reply to my emails or voicemails. I will give them until the end of the day tomorrow to resolve this. If I still don't get a response, I will dispute the charge and seek legal help to file a lawsuit to get my money back in full. I filed a complaint with the BBB this morning...

    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    So a member here was able to reverse lookup the last 8 of the vin and provided me with the full vin. I had a buddy at a dealer do a carfax lookup on it and last mileage reported was in 2016 at 70,602 miles. Car was totaled in 2019. I found it on an auction site with no mileage reported and it...

    I tried that... but with searching for an intercooler. I will try some other various parts

    Based on this....the last of the 8 of the VIN they gave me (2F137009) only tells me the year, plant, and production number so I assume only having the last 8 is useless.

    I see you are from Minnesota. Most likely wasn't your yard. It came from NY.

    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    As I was typing the last post, I got an email from FL company. They gave me only the last 8 of the VIN.... 2F137009 I am not VIN savvy, but is this information useful at all in helping me pull information on this truck? A quick lookup only tells me that it came from a 2002 truck.

    I got Ripped Off! I need your Help!

    I haven't dodged anything. I have contacted my bank (Chase) and talked with them about my options. I have 60 days to dispute it. I am giving them a chance to make things right before I start down that road. I just got a call back from the NY company. They said all of their motors are...

    The FL company emailed me back. They sent the pictures of the glow plugs rusted into the heads to the NY company to see if they will stand behind it. Fingers crossed....

    Thanks for this info....unfortunately, the guy behind the phone I am dealing with is in Florida....Motor came from NY and I am in Vegas. He doesn't give a shit, and the NY company is being really tight lipped. I sent pictures of the rusted in glow plugs... Hopefully they start to understand how...

    This right here couldnt be further from the truth. I went to pull the glow plugs out and 3 of them had the nuts break away from the shaft...and the shafts are completely rusted into the head.

    I know 350 PSI is ideal, but what would you guys say is acceptable? Anything over 300?

    Yeah, I got nothing in writing. The only thing I have that is solid is the quote that states 80k miles and the reference number matches the reference number on the receipt.

    So they are telling me thats what I paid for....if I install it and it has any knocking/smoking/etc they will warranty the motor....but they dont grade motors based on cosmetic appearance. They said I can ship it back (on my dime) and pay a 20% restocking fee ($720). They are sending me the VIN...
