FWIW the OP did not question how nice of a guy MikeL is, he was asking if what he was told was true and if so what parts would he(mikel) be offering the public. As for all the bullcrap in between, one can speculate all he/she likes.
Yes, one more time DmaxV is implying someone is a crook. This time, he's claiming it's Mike L, before, it was pretty much anyone who sells Dmax stuff. He's claiming that Mike L is conning his customers by not advertising extensively that he's currently not buying much from Suncoast anymore, after having been one of their biggest distributors in NA.
This is a hotrod board based on Duramax hotrodders helping each other. Exactly how is DV helping anyone but his own shop? He is the new Steve Cole, except without the creative intelligence, just the malice.
The real question is, whether tech boards need members who do nothing but attack others. And while my first thoughts were that everyone should be allowed, it seems some cannot deal with that kind of environment. Like someone who spits in the bucket of fried chicken at the picnic so nobody will eat it then screams, "BUT YOU SAID IT WAS FREE!!! IT'S MY GOD-GIVEN RIGHT!!!", perhaps not everyone can understand that just because you CAN say something, doesn't always mean you SHOULD say something.
For now, DmaxV was given a timeout by a moderator, but I'm not sure he can deal with participating at a technical forum for Duramaxes. Something about it brings out the worse in him.
