Attention: TDR Forum Junkies autoworld said:we are documenting everything with photos etc - it looks like there may be some repercussions :-{} legally from the owner against that shop. it is UNBELIEVABLE the things we have found and fixed - even you wouldn't believe it Dave, such as exhaust pipe for intercooler tubes, hose clamped to the wrong size hose.the motor mount on one side was almost completely ripped apart, that would have been an ugly mess. I could go on for 3 pages-OMG!!!!!! its HORRIBLE!!!!! :--) it's just a good thing we got him up here now, there is so much that was about to turn disasterous very shortly if too many more miles were put on it. there is gonna be a list of little things he can do when he gets home also, there is no way we will have time, he is coming on friday.

Maybe this will be explanation enough to www.fordcummins.com that I will "talk behind his back on this forum" as much as I can. If one person is prevented from getting burned by him with his shoddy work, so be it. Hope the owner of the truck drags him into a consumer affairs court case. Its the least that is deserved at this point #@$%! . (go ahead Roger, flame me again, try the innocent victim routine this time
)Too bad the owner is so in need of the truck evidently, I'd leave it as is and have the Montana Dept of Labor and industry or the State Attorney's office get involved before changing anything. Civil suits are good, but getting charges filed on it would be a whole lot better!!!

Its all about longevity and pride in ones work. I would be pretty upset if I paid the money these conversions cost to have a rust flake break loose and get sucked into the engine. If you think about how hot the turbo side of the innercooler lines can get on a turned up engine, you'll get a batter idea of the oxidation issues. This is just one reason not to use it, not all.
