What happened to Labonte??

[LBZ]

Anyone know where he went or why he just up and disappeared? Nobody seems to be able to get ahold of him, his number is out of service, emails not answered, can't order anything from his site.:WTF2:

I need to get my controller fixed as the pre injection doesn't work and now can't get any help from Labonte.

Hey Dale

There is a thread over on DP with the same issue and I do not want to link to here but if you shoot over and search Labonte the thread is called Lanbonte Motorsports MIA!!

Thanks for the tip. That's really gay that he disappeared like that and didn't tell anyone so people sent stuff and now some of them haven't heard anything about their stuff and never got anything sent back after a few months. I almost made that mistake-luckily I tried emailing and calling first!!
Now I'm debating on whether I run with a half working system or see if snow or somebody will just send me their controller without having to buy a full kit. What a PIA!!

Sorry to hear man!! I have had my snow in for about a yr now and I like it so far!!

He told me back in December he was moving to a new shop soon. Shortly after that he stopped returning calls emails, not at all like him.
I stopped by his original shop a few months ago and he was gone, new people don't know where he went

Snow will sell you just a controller. Last I knew the mpg/max controller was $380.

Cool. I emailed snow and haven`t heard back. Cooling Mist got back to me right away and emailed me everything I would need to buy to have a 2 stage system again. To the tune of about $550. That`s almost what I payed for the whole Labonte Stage 3!! Better looking stuff though. They uses potted sensors and electronic controllers which are much nicer than the crap built in China!

try calling Snow, they are usually pretty busy but calling usually will get rigth though.

I'm running a simple 12volt PWM motor controller right now. $30

If you're going with Snow and want a faster response I think some vendors here can get the stuff. Or google Michael Plummer Performance. I think he's in Boston. Very helpful on phone and email and ships fast. He's just not as familiar with the diesels

I have had cooling-mist on my truck for aboout a year, It's a great trouble set up.

Snow got back to me. They will sell me their MPG Max controller for $400 + another $50 for the egt probe. I don't like their monitor though really. The cooling mist is a little more simple looking, but the 52mm gauge style mount controller would work alot better in my truck........
