+100HP WITH DIABLO PUCK

[HeberRam]

Sporty... Welcome back? Looks like I've got a rise from the "Diablo Devil" himself! I think you guys are getting a little hot #ad
under the collar. In case you guys don't know, "Sporty" is with PDQ which is the main supplier for Diablo products. you're absolutly correct sporty, in my test( which by the way was a seat of the pants and rider observations)with no Dyno info, the "puck" appeared to ever so slightly beat the VA. I also said, the Edge EZ "remmember"??? Kicked the puck's butt. I'm not knocking the VA or anyone who has purchased one! In fact, they have greatly improved their product. You on the other hand, as far as I can tell, have not demonstrated to me how well your product performs. . Hell, you got TDR members asking about the "puck" and all I read is negative responses. Don't get me wrong, there is probably a place in the performance game for the "puck" for Dodge trucks... . Waaaaaaaay down there... ... . Oh, by the way Sporty, I promise I won't call the puck crap anymore. I'll just call it YUK #ad


You need to lighten-up!

Maybe you're "puck" screwed up Scrmbld4x4's truck???? NAAAAY. . ?

It is my understanding that the timing needed to be retarded a little for use on the ETH with DDIIIs. The EZ works fine in every other application. And to quote you "... maybe somequestion were in order to the vendor/manufacturer... " before you make statements that you can't support.

Lets keep this clean, please. Can't we all get along?

Heber,
I certainly have not the need, or want to get into a fight with you. But you crack me up. You wanted me to send you a unit when you thought you knew what the results would be. I asked if you would let me see how it performed myself before I sent it. Now that I am sure how it will perform, you are crying foul. Your intentions are as clear as glass. You never intended to give it a good review. Personally, I really don't know your standing with the site as I have done no searches. I took you as face value and trusted you to give a good review as you promised, and now you don't want it? You afraid to eat crow??

You want the reviews from the testers. Most were not even web brousers. When asked in the meeting, most knew of none of your names, because they just subscribe to the magazine. This web site is only a small cross section of TDR members. You use proof that it doesn't work from lack of positive response, yet where is the negative response. In fact if you happen by the rally section, a member does in fact mention he will buy one, not counting two sold at the meeting and one other that is coming by this week. I did not have one for him then and he did test drive it.

The fact remains that someone does not like competition, and despite your efforts, some will try it and I don't know one dealer that does not offer a 30 day money back guarrantee. So what do they have to loose? If they beleive you, the only thing they have is to gain by finding out they have choices.

I realize Diablo Sport will not be the flavor of the month as someone posted, but they will be out there reguardless and it's a real shame competitors must resort to this type of smashing instead of speaking of the merits of your product and letting that stand as a testimonial. Any respectable businessman knows what I'm referring to. I am sure this is not coming from the Edge or any other of the manufacturers, but from a dealer or freind looking out for them. You don't see me or any other dealer for Diablo, or themselves bashing the other product lines, do you? We don't need to.

Also, there are at least two positive responses in this thread alone by users. Yours is the ONLY negative one. The other was for the Torque Dog, not a Diablo. Where is all this negative posting you speak of?

If you can't have a decent conversation, I don't need to respond to your comments any longer. I will however, respond to anyone who has legitimate questions. That little sqirrel thing was plain childish. What was the point?

Bob

 

[HeberRam]

Bob... A couple of comments and I promise I won't post anymore on this subject.

#1. That little "squirrelly" thing you were refering to is really a monkey.
#2. The reason, I said you don't have to send me the "puck"... you said in your post " I do know this, the puck does not deliver more peak HP than the Edge". Why, then Bob should I go out and spend money to Dyno and prove what you and I already know?? You are the one eating crow!!!
#3. By me posting on this subject, I think I'm helping you and Diablo to get off your butts and tell us what the "frieking" thing will do?
#4. Bob, I honestly, hope you sell a ton of them and make a lot of money. See the following: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/ubb//Forum4/HTML/004725.html

I got no bone to pick with you personally, Bob, but you need to answer the above TDR members questions, in order for them to make a decision. I already have... . Regards, Heber

 

[Bob Riley]

Your looking for Dyno numbers? I can get that. So, you want just the highest peak? I was being honest. Herber, you are really the minority in the diesel market. I find the same thing in the Fords. Most want good pulling without overboosting and over fueling. They just want safe power to pull with. A few want all out Balls to the Walls. It's very tough to satisfy both. You have not commented on the one poster here who loves his. Is he lying? Or he just doesn't know anything? I beleive the important thing is he is happy with his truck. And no, I did not sell to him or even know who he is.

So, please be specific, what are you asking of me? Dyno results? Testers replies? I assumed you were going to run and compare to yours. I had no intention on you spending your money to do anything.

Also, you said if Diablo claimed anything even close to what they said, you would give it a good review, now it has to be the highest hp rated thing on the market or it's crap. I just don't understand.

No, because I never said it was the highest hp. I said it worked as advertised. That was not a admission of it not working, but a statement of truthfullness. You are reading that into this.

Hey Bob-
Could you post some rear wheel dyno numbers?

 

[sporty]

Heber,
Yes, I am from PDQ Performance Whse. Not sure what the problem with that is. I was just reminding you of your quote from our ealier conversation this past October. Just because I'm a distributor for DiabloSport doesn't mean that I can't post my findings as well. As a matter of fact, even though we are a advertiser for the TDR magazine we don't come on this web site to try to "trick" people into buying our products. The PowerPuck does a great job selling itself. Since January, we have already sold over 2000 PowerPucks with a return ratio of less than 3%. From this, only about 1% were from failure and the other 2% from unsatisfied customers (unfortunately, can't please everyone). I guess you fall into the 3% catagory. So as you can see, the PowerPuck is far from "crap". Besides, the PowerPuck comes with a lifetime warranty (not 30 days, not 1 year, not 2 years... lifetime). No other company stands by their product like that.
Just a side note. If you think a 1 second improvement from 0-60 (over the VA) is a tiny gain, you have a lot to learn. To move a 1/2 ton truck that fast is not a small gain.

Heber, just becuase i didn't jump so quick didn't mean I wasn't going to help. I am trying to aquire dyno graphs to show. Why are you so negative? The guy askes for numbers and I hadn't responded in a few hours, that makes me unwilling to help?? You need to lighten up just a tad.

I will be back as sooin as I have some real stuff to post, not advertising numbers.

OK,I just had the Puck installed about 90 minutes ago,just in town driving so far with no load. It will break the tires loose just off idle,pulls very strong all the way thru the range pulling very hard in second and up to about 90mph when I backed off for traffic, the mid range low rpm driving at about 35 to 50 is much easier to accelerate without the transmission downshifting,I know this isn't scientific but the seat of the pants feel is much stronger than before. I've owned 3 Dodge Diesels 91,94 and this 01,all have been enhanced and I have driven them over 395,000 miles combined so I do have some seat time. I'm happy with the Power Puck so far and I'll have lots of miles and hauling in a short time to give anyone any results they would like. It does what it and Bob Riley advertises.

Wait 'til you hook on to your trailer. That's where I really notice mine. It works as advertised here also.

 

[ROCK KRIES]

I was a back seat rider in a 99 QC 3500 that had the puck for a test run at the Florida TDR meeting. The owner stated he felt an immediate power increase. I could tell that this truck would smoke my puckless 2001. The owner tows a travel trailer and liked the performance so much he keep the puck for his tow home. I was impressed by the other testers comments also. The puck seems to be priced right and the programmable part is a plus. I will hopefully be PUCKED soon!!!!

If you're refering to me, no I'm not lying. Yes I know quite a bit. Yes I AM happy with my truck, NOW And finally yes you did sell me mine #933.

[WOT]

I thought there was a goup purchase deal on it as well. Can someone post the link to this deal. Can't seem to find it on the wwcd2 group purchase page.

Hope it hasn't expired! If it has, I think a dealer out there should start it up again! Hint Hint...

 

[Scrmbld4X4]

Do believe the group deal is over. It was a good buy, though. Maybe Mr. UMMMMMM could do another. I've got a couple buddies here that would by one. (they've been trying mine. )

 

[Scrmbld4X4]

Back to the topic at hand.

What's the deal with the 100+ HP software???

Or the Diablo site. Where do I get the user name and password. Faxed my Warranty in with a note asking the same. Tried to Email Bob Riley too, came back undeliverable.

Hey Bob you out there????

 

[Bob Riley]

Scrambld, I'm here. Don't know what's wrong with e-mail. I'm sure getting plenty of junk mail, so it must be working #ad
I have no idea if Carl's site still has it on there or not, but you can e-mail me for details.

Back to the 100hp. The software is being finished soon. I can't answer your questions on how to get a passwords yet as this is a Diablo issue. Of course, I have yet to see the 100 hp version in use. They have, but it isn't finished to allow us or you to do it yourself yet. From my understanding, it's soon.

I'll check my profile to make sure the e-mail is correct.
Bob

Added in edit; my e-mail was incorrect, my fault, sorry for the trouble.
