Where the hell did that come from?

All the sarcasm coming from the posts in this thread.

Some people are actually trying to help other people out.

No offense Mike, That wasn't directed to you, just the after reading this thread it seems like most of the people posting in here think there shit dont stink.

Yes that site is biased to there mods, but there are people out there that are helping others out and dont need to be bashed because they have special badge on that site...

so does that man you guys wanna talk some shit about me or something????

Nope. Granted, I think most people want to help others on these sites, but when someone is corrected as wrong, they just need to manup and say, "Thanks for correcting me" instead of the "Oh youre such a genius" comments like Ben got.



BTW, how the heck did you get ~1300 posts in 3.5 months over there? Wow.

I know what was said to Ben and there are dip shits like that everywhere. I too agree Ben got unfair treatment over there and after being on there awhile, I have found who is actually helpful and who is blowing it out there ass. Ben Was correct and some of them guys dont have a clue what there talking about, and yes, because some are mods that dont agree, all they can do is ban.

I just think he shouldnt, and some on here should go off the handle and poke fun of everyone they feel like cause there upset about it.

Wow I got banned from a forum for the first time today. Duramax Forum! :D

http://www.duramaxforum.com/forum/towing-hauling/3871-tow-mode.html

yeah maybe I was a little sarcastic in my responses, but they ALL pertained to the thread and had legit tech content. The reason for my sarcasm was because I was frustrated that the so-called "tech specialist" idiots were feeding wrong info on such a stupid simple topic, and when I see people so confidently explain something that they are just flat out wrong about, I get frustrated like that.


Then one of the mods over there starts dragging it off topic, and the tech specialist continues, not wanted to admit he just made himself look like a fool. Ive been an ass to people on forums before, but never banned, so this one really surprised me because I didnt think I was being that bad...

ben



I don't know why but because you got banned I can't get on there till the 16th either. Nice going Ben... They blocked my computer as well...

What's your opinion of Newly?

Honestly, Newly is a good friend of mine, Known him since HS. Newly really dont seem to care what other people think all the time. He really is a down to earth good guy and will help anyone out. I hear his frustration with a lot of people everyday. Doesnt matter what happens in the Diesel Community, Newly will always be a friend to his friends no matter what. He stands up for ATS for the fact that they stand behind him. He doesnt take these boards seriously and I'm for damn sure he is a different guy face to face. So many people get the wrong impression of people on these boards, its face to face where people are totally different.

What about you Mike, beside the net, whats your opinion?

I decided a long time ago that site wasn't for me.
To much missinformation (more than any other duramax/diesel site i've read) and the Premium Membership thing is a big turn off to me.

I just go over there, and help where I can, I don't know it all, so I bow out and when I don't know or I am wrong. Mike has done a great job over there with helping people out.

That site is 90% newbies with off the wall questions, but they need help too, so I try and help where I can. "Toy Puller" is an assclown he knows nothing. I have been warned for argueing with him, over injector issues. He is a dealer Mech and seems to know nothing about GM period.

The ATS threads are just freakin amazeing, me Newly and a few others where just havein a good time when all of the sudden it turned serious in the 1st thread, ATS felt they were bein bashed by a few of us I guess. When Mike L. came in and spoke his mind I was not suprissed Newly said some funky shit abut Mike L. I don't know if there is a grudge or somethin but some of his comments where odd to say the least. I personally don't take those kind of sites seriously, and I don't think Newly does either, I know I was warned over there for Newly and I's comments.

Ben and I have a long standing joke because we are young people write us off alot. I'm not even on that board but I'll bet ben has more experience than anyone and it's bs that people can't tolerate being corrected. What's the point if all info goes unchecked and isn't valid? Nobody gets of right all the time and if they think they do in this game they should reconsider.

I think i speak for a lot of people in saying those guys are in theri own world 15,000 members or something and i see maybe 10 of them on other boards. Okay a lot more now because they followed me and others over.

I started posting on there too in the topics i knew something about to try and help out or correct misinformation. I wasnt always right, never am, nobody is but usually admit to it.

That tech specialist badge thing is a joke. Yes I know i am one, but that was not my decision they pm'd me saying they wanted to make me one i said sure, fine.

I remembered seeing a thread on there were people were asking to be specialists.

Its an interesting site full of unedumacated posts.

As for toypuller, i dont see eye to eye with him either. Im starting to think he just sweeps to floors where he works.

He can do headgaskets in 2 weeks out the door :eek: and tells everybody there is no way to do them quicker.

I did see MMLMM come over there and finally a familiar knowledgableish face:D.

Im sure he agrees with me that it is an interesting site.

as for the original ATS v SC thread, we got bored, MMLMM was part of it for a little while i believe. Guess i had nothing better to do that night.

Im surprised ive never gotten banned from anywhere except the toyota tundra forum for correcting expert posts on the dmax. Nobody thought one could run quicker than 15 seconds int eh 1/4 mile modified or not. Hmmm. Ive broken a lot of rules and been on a lot thinner ice than a lot of people and never got banned, did get my sig redone, but nothing else.

Guess im lucky.

Im with Mike though, people get so into these forums that they forget how people are different in person.Two examples i can think of are Mike L. and Trippin. On threads they can get defensive and come off wrong. Over the phone Guy is the nicest most helpful guy ive met, Mike is too, sometimes you scare me and im scared to say maybe i did something wrong, but its cool

Big Block 88- we did have fun! I dont take this thread crap serious atoll. Duramaxdiesels is def the most informative of all. I try not to offend anyone but i know i come across that way. So be it. Duramaxforum is full of newbies an sometimes its fun over there. Its fun listening to stories and getting people going. I didnt try to say anything funky, i was having fun. That thread was hardly serious. ATS backs me and i back them, its just the way it works. They take care of me and have warrentied my trans 100% everytime. I think they have the best warrenty and the best tech info. The posts from MikeM in the "What about ATS revised" prove it.

I try to be as honest as possible on tech threads and try to have a good time. I Sold a trans to Iowally recently and got it strapped to a pallet like he asked, he said he was in no hurry so i took my time. After i loaded the trans i saw that the trans had a cracked bell housing and called Iowally imediatly! I told him i could give some money back or give a refund........i gave a refund.
I could have been crooked and sent the trans but i would never do that.

MMLMM- thanks, your a good friend too.:hug: You know me.

MikeL- I believe i have told lots of people on Duramaxforum and other forums you build a good trans. Dont like me, i could care less. I see the way you talk to people on here and its uncalled for. Very unprofessional. You started the "what about ATS revisited" on duramaxforum and have posted ZERO tech info. You called myself, Bryan and ATS out. I came back and waited for you since you said " if you want to continue this, you wont like it" BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA ATS stepped up and was there with lots of tech info. Others want to hear from you too. Where you at????

The info over there is "interesting". I Especially was interested in Brian's claim in one of the ATS threads that the TCM "Won't lock the converter at full throttle in T/H". Funny. Mine locks up at WOT 1/2 to 1 second after shifting into 2nd. Was also interesting how they claimed that "ATS never denied a warranty". Seems to me they where not wanting to warranty their clutches when they where coming apart for no apparent reason.

hmm sounds like people really do have too much time and should be spending more tim ein the shop developing new products.

these forums are starting to get old, i learned a lot, but now have a lot of numbers to call for help.

too many politics on every forum lately.

Many folk know what happened when I started using ATS parts, so I won't go into it again.

But who gives a flying fk about warranty on race parts? If I can't make a race, or don't finish because of busted ass shiit, exactly how will another set of the same parts help?

Warrantees suck donkey nuts. I want shiit that don't bust to begin with. ATS cannot deliver.
