    Vendor screwing me. Need advice please.

    Whoa, whoa now, I thought we were clear here. I am not swaying anyone from buying from him. Again, to be clear, I bought an engine with known mileage. The replacement engine's mileage was at question here. Let's make it crystal clear for the Johnny-Come-Latelies: It was proven to the...

    Dude! I did call you - twice! Both times, you said it wasn't a good time to talk and that you would call me back at a better time. You never did, that was five weeks ago and I sent you four PM's four weeks in a row. Well it seems as though the mileage was the star of this movie the whole...

    Vendor screwing me. Need advice please.

    I have to disagree with you here, he was charging two different prices for two different engines - I just want to know if I got what I paid for, also it would be nice just to guage when I need to think about head gaskets again; there is a big difference between 70,000 miles and 120,000 miles...

    PT, I would love to help satisfy your forensic curiosities but honestly, it was so long ago that I don't remember much more than what I wrote and that it's a 4.0 Bosch. I never "truly believed" anything at all - except that I am out a large some of money for something I had no hand in. The...

    Erik, I don't think that he owes me a driveshaft, I do belive that if someone was out a thousand dollars because of something that I admitted responsibility for, I would try to make up for it with some small token - like a spare part that I may have laying around, you know, just a way to try and...

    Thanks for the replies everyone. Axel, I bought a used engine from Marty due to his reputation on this site. He said he would send me warranty info via email - he never did - that should answer the "in writing" portion of your question - I never got what he promised - again, a matter of...

    Vendor screwing me. Need advice please.

    I was wondering if I could get some advice from you guys about a problem I'm having with a vendor. Here is the situation: Back in May, I purchased a used engine for my DII. The vendor promised to e-mail me mileage on the motor and warranty information. The engine arrived and my mechanic...

    Care for leather boots

    I don't like Snow Seal because it completely kills the breathability of leather. I ruined a pair of Sorels with Snow Seal, they stopped breathing, moisture built-up inside and my feet were always clammy, cold and often frozen solid (no exageration, there was often a thin layer of ice on the...
