Too bad I paid Cash

That is one advantage of using a credit card......I just got the wrong guy to do my system , I will post photos when I get the truck back ....you should see the hardware he is trying to pass off as " A KIT " and I know used parts when I see them, he even told me the local auto dealerships pay him to uninstall VEG systems when they get a trade in that has em.....Hmmmm wonder what he does with the parts ?

Check out this web page that has all apearances of a Liscenced shop .

Maybe you can he wont talk to me .....did you notice he says his systems come with a heated fuel filter but I just realized all I have is a racor filter with a sediment bowl and it had a 30 micron filter ! not even a regular fuel filter under the hood to catch the small particulate matter...If you do talk to him I would like to know if you think he knows what hes doing. and whats a ramp agent ?

I understand about prolonged use straining a pump if the oil is not heated or filtered properly .....BUT let me be clear the truck was broke during the install and I never saw the truck run on the system but they Joel and Rebecca both swear it was running before i drove the 125 miles to pick it up !
