Mike absolutely knows what he's doing and what's his affair is his alone. Real no-class of you to be posting what's none of your business.

what is no class? is not telling your loyal followers that you no longer sell suncoast parts and is going about doing stuff another way, people deserve to be informed of whats going on and why some people cant get their suncoast products from mikel.

When Mike did my trans I did not care what parts he used. I trust his work. 70k later and 500hp says he did it right, and I will go back for a refresh when its needed.

What is your problem? Anyone that wanted SC products were sent directly to SC. Price is the same correct? I mislead no one and nothing is written in stone at this point. You need to stay out of my business and worry about yours.

What's no class? You're no class.....you're not a "loyal follower" and don't give a damn about that anyway, just someone who likes to shoot his mouth off arguing with him. Then post "rumor has it" trying to make a deal out of something without really knowing anything. Has nothing to do with you and it's none of your business. You have no class.

I have no ties to dmaxvaz, I am sure many of you remember my slogan above my dr.phil picture before I was asked to remove it. Anyways;

Mike I know we have talked many times and I knew something fishy was up but is this why I cannot get those kits from you? I am on a deadline at this point. Sorry to hear the news and thank you

You. You are "no class", but that's not what the topic of the thread is.

Suncoast has stalled new Dmax product development, or at least that's what the owner of Suncoast told me.

In the high performance world, you are either moving ahead, or you're falling behind.

I've bought quite a lot of Suncoast parts over the years (nope, they do not sponsor me, nor have they ever) and I'm even on their website. But if I want to go faster, Suncoast isn't going to help me. There are very few if any Suncoast parts on Casper that I know of anymore.

Parts is parts. I helped Suncoast quite a bit in exchange for them putting more Duramax stuff on the shelf for all of us. But apparently they have no interest in it anymore, so I'll help other shops who do.

wow... poor bastard who started this thread is wishing he hadn't.

A little story about Mike... met him about 2 years ago refered by Pat. Get to his shop Mike asks how much power you wanna make? I say "500" he says "that ain't power" and goes on to give me a shpeel about Casper. I'm thinking cranky bastard doesn't give a shit... So he does me a ML 4 with a 57 in a day and off i go. Don't talk to him for months, call him up mid way into my build and say i wanna make allllottta power. Mike says "bring the trans over thursday". This was 6-8 months ago... I go to pick up the trans... he freshened it up... did a couple "updates"... and didn't give me a bill.
When i finished the truck it had a vibration, took it to his shop, he racked it poked around, drove it... commented on the converter, gave me a couple things to think about.

Long story short... Who else does a refresh, update, racks your truck, gives input for FREE? Not saying he would do this for everybody but still!

Who gives a shit about what transpires between Suncoast and Mike, cranky bastard can spec his own converters from a plethera of sources. The rest of the crap grows on trees.

Good Luck Mike.

This will be my only comment to you.
You have a hard on for me and don't like me and thats fine. I don't like you either. You have nothing to give except trouble and hate. You decided to try and hurt my business with your hate and that crossed the line.
The next time I see a post from you that is putting someone down in any way or form I will ban you from this forum for life.
If you post in this thread again I will ban you. It is what it is.
