Hey guys. Figured I give y’all a laugh. Bit of a backstory. There’s a shop close to here that’s been around here for a while and everyone around raves about it. Me? I’ve never been a fan from little bits I’ve heard through the grapevine conflicting with what I’ve read here from pros. The owner drives a ccsb lb7 with a 369 I think. Was talking to a guy from work today, the same one said his LT one Camaro would be my old truck, and he proved my thoughts. Was talking about injectors since he knows the truck that I’m gonna be buying soon. When he was talking about buying some $1200 injectors and I looked at him funny and laughed. He looked at me like I was an idiot and said yeah just cause them injectors you want have a fancy brand name don’t mean they’re any better. So I asked what he’s talking about and apparently the owner of the local place puts Ebay injectors in his trucks and the guy I work with’s sister did the same per his recommendation. So I said yeah how long they been in there and he says April and noooooo problems. I told him wait a bit and I’ll laugh when she’s doing them again. So guess this supposed great shop and owner of a supposedly built truck has a fondness for eBay injectors. Moral of the story. Do your research. Do the work yourself or if you can’t, local isn’t always best.

I see that crap all over my neck of the woods
I'm sick an tired of repeating myself to others before and after they make dumb desicions to bring there work to other shops because it's cheaper. And it's cheaper because they are throwing junk parts on their trucks!

Sadly this is all too common around here. Some of the preconceived notions people have about Mississippi are true. I just bought a F150 and was talking to some buddies about some new tires to get. Every single one of them said “dude level it and run 35s”. When I told them leveling kits are junk they all looked at me like that was the stupidest thing they ever heard. All of them have rzr’s and they’re all broken down with front end problems but I’m the dummy.
