I would take it to small claims and file suit, it will cost you $20.00 for filing. You can file it in your county, the burden would be on him to either show up and defend or have a judgment placed on him.

You have photos, text messages and the courts cab summons bill of lading to get the shipping weight. There is no way, I would get screwed and take it. If nothing else, get your money for the parts that you have to buy, bought due to damage and shipping.

ok sew me not my fault they lost the yoke

no need to get testy! nobody said they were going to sue you! and not trying to call you a liar so don't take it that way but i have many texts and pm's saying that the yoke has already shipped or that you are going to ship it "tommorow" so i have a hard time taking you at your word, and no its not your fault if it was shipped and lost, but i do feel that it is your responsibility to do something about it! untill the parts are in my possetion the deal has not been completed.

well if its the dash cluster gauges i dont have those lol. i know thats what navy-welders needing. i got a boost and a pyro and a pod pillar id sell you super duper extremely cheapo if you wanted them since i have a EJWA with these gauges built into it already. :choochoo:

oh haha, how much you want for them? i got the adrenaline and it has guages too but it never hurts to have some actual ones!

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

pm me with your price bud and i will let ya know!

sorry not a good day and can i get a price too on those if tony dont buy them :hellox:

:s::s::s::s::s:

? :humm:

blazier, look brother if it was the shipping company that is at fault for the loss then they lost it. but i would think that it is your responsibility to follow up on this issue with both parties involved...ie the buyer and the shipping company. if you want to be looked at as respectable then it is your duty to do so. how would you feel if you bought a product from someone and it was lost, and they said...well i didnt lose it, guess your gonna have to just eat it and be out of luck??? thats not the way to do buisiness and i think(hope) you realize that. your on here in the midst of all this also looking for someone to sell you something...bad form bud. if you wanna sell those injectors your gonna have to find someone either really desperate or someone that hasnt read this thread to do so. make it right for your own sake.

im tryin when he tells me wat he wants to do about it i took care of the cluster problem just need to make it up about the yoke now

well lets ask what everyone thinks is fair then, the cluster that was yours does me no good though other than the casing maybe if mine still work, i thought the gages worked but i found out that once things start warming up they all peg over, doesn't read right. but its ok, i will figure out the wiring somehow lol. as for the yoke, what do you think is fair to do about it.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

and honestly if you were actually trying you would have been throwing out ideas to clear things up!

I only have one question here. What would you want to see happen if you were on the other side of this situation and you were still missing parts that you had paid for.

Maybe once that question is answered, some middle ground might be found to agree on.

If it were me, which obviously it is not.

The fair thing to be done is to compensate the OP for all out of the money he is out of pocket as a result of missing or broken parts that were represented to be in working order as well as the extra shipping he had to pay.

If he was expecting no out of pocket, that is where he needs to be now. Anything else is not fair business.

and as for out of pocket expenses for things that were traded as good was a kickdown for 35.00 plus 9.00 shipping, my shipping to get the yoke to him 3rd day ups was 33.00 shipping for the yoke from cummins97 was 13.00 plus the brackets that are missing off of the tranny for the kickdown i dunno havn't found any yet trying to rig something up right now so i don't know if anything out of pocket for that.
not to mention that the trans was advertised in good working order but has a cracked case it two places from bellhousing to valve body area so its junk.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

but in all fairness the bellhousing bolts were lost somewhere while in transit to him. but if you count all that the steering coulumn i got from him the trans rolled onto it and busted all the plastics so had to get them from a salvage yard, and the shift know with overdrive button was busted off too. but i just ignored that stuff because things happen in shipping and they would have come out a wash if we tried to pay each other for them

ok for all yaw it was a even trade my workin transmission for his and all odds and ends to compensate. everything i got was good other then me havin to buy a key and bell housing bolts which i had no problem with at all it happens. we didnt trade yokes we didnt think we needed to. so after we found that out he said he found a yoke for 57 dollars but turned out to be for another truck so that was a no go so i had a guy down at the shop send out the yoke well he broke the kickdown cable when he pulled it and threw it away before tony ever mentioned a kickdown. well it didnt get shipped out that night nor next or any that week idk y i went back got the [package and money. so i finally went to office depot at 830 and bought a box and they put the yoke and cluster in and i know it was in there when i said is the yoke under the cluster and they didnt know wat i was talkin about so i did it myself and paid for shipping and it sent out the next mornin and i gave him the shippin number that night and told him they said somethin about not being good till the package got there. then onev day im at work paintin a hood on a car and get a text well when i got done i checked it and tony had said i got a busted cluster and no yoke i didnt know wat to think me knowin i sent both and it gettin to him damged. i just turned 19 so im not a pro on shippin or know as much as alot of yaw on how to do things so i asked wat did i need to do he said wat do u think is fair i said i have no idea but im gonna make it right whichever way i can but as far as shippin i paid for mine he paid for his and im not sayin he was all right and i was all right nor sayin we were both wrong but it is wrong that it happened like this and id be more then glad to help him out anyway i can

if need be i will post one of the original pms with us talking about all that needed to be swapped saying that i needed the kickdown, i still have the pm's regarding this deal in case something like this happened! and i don't think i should be resonsible for paying shipping of parts i didn't recieve and were damaged! it still stands that i am out about $90-$100 for all this.

and when u said kickdown i said it was broke after i realized wat u were askin for ill send u a benjamin thats all u had to say and a pack of diapers ha ha how many u want? lol

as many as he is going through a lot! tell ya what, get a hold of dieselboy88 and send the money to him and get the gages here for me and we will call it even. if this is something that you are interested in let me know and i will pm him letting him know whats going on

I would send it paypal, that way you have a tracking number to prove that you sent it.

Protect everyone.

x2 on that one, then there is a paper trail!

i dont have a paypal hey i need gauges too lol at least a pyro and pay check comes in in a few days so yeah ill buy u gauges then give u 150 for them lol

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

after we do this can every one be a friend now ha ha

i would suggest setting up a paypal acount if you are doing any deals over the web! def a good idea no matter what. its easy and fast, just go to paypal.com and sign up takes 5 minutes! and if i get the gages they are gonna have to go on my truck lol, so is this something you are interested in? it defenetly would have to be done through paypal though and as long as you have a bank account you can have a paypal:tu:

ok we both dont like hunter but he has paypal so he can do it for me and how much 100 for the gauges?

i will pm him and let him get a hold of ya and tell you the deal! should work for both of us though! hopefully it all works out well especially going through him:w2:

yeah let me know a price on it so i know how much to put back

k, i messaged him, as long as he agrees with it it will work for me too, also there is a fee through paypal don't remember what it is so it might be an extra $10 or so

ok and sounds good just lemme know how to do it and it will work for me too i guess nobody would be interested in a 6 month old hideaway goosenck hitch huh paid 500 cash

hey eric, just ran into a snag, the yoke that cummins97 sent me is the wrong one, so i still have no yoke bud.

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

oh and its the 241dhd not the dld, thats why im having issues with it!

is your truck a 24V and his a 12v? that will make all the difference in the work if the gauges don't work. even if it is a "digital odometer" they are different.

hmm this is no good im gonna call the dealership and ask wat all years that yoke was used and call junkyards but in the mean time try to find some more people with yokes cuz junkyards up here are not diesel trucks lol

i may have found one here localy at holst, they will let me know tomorow but they want $65 for it. the new ones i found online were $250! don't think that rout is doable lol, but im sure we can make something work out :tu: i will let you know tomorrow

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

yep mines 24 his was 12, the gages seem to work ok if the truck isn't warm, not sure whats going on there. but i will see if my gages still work and just use the housing off of his to fix the busted parts, maybe some internals if need be. his digital odometer looks like an old calculator lol, mines the green on black. that all worked fine. oh and the bulb for the brights was on all the time even with the truck off and the lights didn't seem to want to work correctly? probably an easy fix just have to get a wiring schematic for it and go to work lol.

I think PAYPAL charges 4%:humm:

yes there is a difference due to the computer on a 24v having all the information go through it and then to the gauges and the non computerized 12v that has the information go directly to the gauges. the early 98 trucks are a bastard group and a bunch of stuff WON'T work when logically they should due to being a crossbread.

i kinda figured that they were different but didn't know how different, but that makes sense, the computer is probably sending funny signals that the gages can't read right

Dang man. I'm sorry, I mentioned it was for a dld earlier. Wish we would have caught it earlier. If you want I'll send you ur cash back and you can keep the yoke, it was just rotting away here anyway lol. Shoot me a pm back and let me know man!

Why cant more people be like this? :c:

:5:

pm sent, thanks bud! but i realy don't need the money back, if anyone needs this though just pay shipping and its yours! i realy apreciate all the help here though, you guys rock :tu:

allright, just an update, found a yoke localy and purchased it, blazier said he was going to reimburse me for that, plus the guage deal that was made earlier so as soon as its all settled i will let you guys know!
and i took the truck for its maiden voyage today, just got back! everything seems to be pretty tight in the trans, and it goes into overdrive torque converter locks seems to all work as it should! the ve turbo is extremely loud! i have a boost leak that i have to hunt down but spoolup is awesome! already have about 7psi at 1200rpm's, needs a little bit of tuning to get it just right but well worth the money!

That is good news for sure.
